New blood pressure pill put to the test in UAE patients
NCT ID NCT07465666
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study will look at how well a drug called ARNi (sacubitril/valsartan) lowers blood pressure in 500 adults with hypertension in the United Arab Emirates. Researchers will compare it to standard treatments like ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers. The goal is to see if ARNi works better in everyday medical practice, not just in controlled lab settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- sacubitril/valsartan (ARNi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that ARNi is more effective than standard blood pressure medications for people in the UAE, potentially improving treatment guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by other factors. It is also limited to one region, so findings may not apply elsewhere.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: 1. Adult male or female patients (≥18 years). 2. Patients with physician-diagnosed hypertension (as defined by international guidelines including the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology \[AHA/ACC\] guidelines and/or the 2024 European Society of Cardiology \[ESC\] guidelines). 3. Patients with documented office blood pressure ≥130/80 mmHg prior to initiating treatment (ARNi or monotherapy) or transitioning from monotherapy to ARNi. 4. Patients who are either antihypertensive therapy naïve or currently receiving antihypertensive monotherapy (ACE inhibitor/ARB/CCB) with a physician-directed requirement to transition to ARNi. Note: Patients who transition from one monotherapy to another during the study are not eligible for inclusion. 5. Patients willing to provide written informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients with malignant or severe hypertension (systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] ≥180 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure \[DBP\] ≥110 mmHg) at baseline. 2. Patients with secondary causes of hypertension, as determined by the treating physician. 3. Patients with a history of, or at risk of developing, angioedema. 4. Patients with evidence of severe renal impairment (e.g., estimated glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] \<30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2). 5. Pregnant or lactating women. 6. Patients with serum potassium level ≥5.5 mmol/L at baseline.
