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.
