NCT ID NCT06344104
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new drug called baxdrostat in 326 adults whose high blood pressure was not controlled even with two or more medications. Participants took either 1 mg, 2 mg of baxdrostat, or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The main goal was to see if baxdrostat could lower systolic blood pressure more than placebo.
