New pill could help when blood pressure meds Aren't enough
NCT ID NCT05769608
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called lorundrostat in 285 adults whose high blood pressure remained uncontrolled despite taking 2 to 5 other medications. The drug works by blocking a hormone that raises blood pressure. Researchers measured how much it lowered blood pressure over 24 hours compared to a placebo. The goal is to find a better option for people whose hypertension is difficult to manage.
