NCT ID NCT06682000
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tested whether adding a second drug (DWC202314) to an existing one (DWC202404) helps people whose high blood pressure isn't controlled by the first drug alone. 192 adults with essential hypertension took part. The study is now complete, and results will show if the combination lowers blood pressure more effectively.
