Brief summary
A Phase 2 trial to evaluate the blood pressure-lowering effect of lorundrostat an aldosterone synthase inhibitor (ASI), administered as an add-on to a standardized anti-hypertensive (AHT) medication regimen, in subjects with hypertension.
Detailed description
This study is a Phase 2 trial to evaluate the blood pressure-lowering effects of lorundrostat (an ASI), administered as add-on to a standardized anti-hypertensive (AHT) medication regimen, in subjects with hypertension. The study consists of a standardized AHT regimen run-in period followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm period. Following the double-blind period subjects may be offered the opportunity to participate in an open-label extension (OLE) study. Subjects electing to not participate in the OLE will undergo an end of study (EoS) visit approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of study drug to complete their participation in the study.
Interventions
Placebo once daily for 12 weeks
lorundrostat Dose 1 once daily for 12 weeks
lorundrostat Dose 1 once daily for 4 weeks then lorundrostat Dose 2 once daily for 8 weeks for subjects who meet prespecified criteria
