Hypertension
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is conducted to investigate the effect of the oral renin inhibitor SPP635 on blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate hypertension.
Detailed description
Renin-Angiotensin system blockade is a well established target for treatment of high blood pressure. Blocking the system at the initial step, however, is a rather new concept that could only be implemented very recently through the availability of novel, oral, renin inhibitors. This study investigates the safety and efficacy of a novel oral renin inhibitor, SPP635.
