NCT ID NCT07528027
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests whether the drug HRS-7535 can lower blood pressure better than a placebo in 648 adults with hypertension who are also overweight or obese. Participants will take the drug or placebo for up to 48 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in blood pressure and weight. The goal is to find a new treatment option for this common combination of health issues.
