New pill aims to tame high blood pressure in 8 weeks
NCT ID NCT07373613
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests five different doses of an experimental drug called BR1400 in 330 adults with essential hypertension (high blood pressure). Participants take one tablet daily for 8 weeks to see how well it lowers blood pressure and if it is safe. The study compares the drug against placebo to find the best dose.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BR1400 (an experimental drug for high blood pressure)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new once-daily pill to help control high blood pressure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 330 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not lower blood pressure enough or could have side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: \<Screening Visit (V1)\> Patients with essential hypertension whose mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) measured in the reference arm at the screening (Visit 1) meets the following criteria: * For patients not currently receiving antihypertensive therapy: 140 mmHg ≤ MSSBP \< 180 mmHg * For patients receiving antihypertensive therapy : 130 mmHg ≤ MSSBP \< 180 mmHg For patients receiving antihypertensive therapy at the screening (Visit 1), those for whom the investigator determines that it is medically appropriate to temporarily discontinue their current antihypertensive treatment during the study. \<Baseline Visit (V2)\> Patients with essential hypertension whose mean sitting systolic blood pressure (MSSBP) measured in the reference arm at the baseline (Visit 2) prior to randomization meets the following criteria: * For patients without cardiovascular disease: 140 mmHg ≤ MSSBP \< 180 mmHg * For patients with cardiovascular disease, diabetes with cardiovascular disease, albuminuria, or diabetes with chronic kidney disease (CKD): 130 mmHg ≤ MSSBP \< 180 mmHg Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with blood pressure results showing MSSBP ≥ 180 mmHg or MSDBP ≥ 110 mmHg at screening(V1) and baseline(V2) * Patients with a history of secondary hypertension or suspected secondary hypertension; (e.g., coarctation of the aorta, hyperaldosteronism, renal artery stenosis, renal hypertension, pheochromocytoma, Cushing's syndrome and polycystic kidney disease, etc.) * Patients with shock * Patients with orthostatic hypotension accompanied by symptoms
