Hypertension | Drug: Placebo Drug: lorundrostat Dose 1 Drug: lorundrostat Dose 2 | Phase 2 |
This study is a Phase 2 trial to evaluate the blood pressure-lowering effects of lorundrostat (an aldosterone synthase inhibitor), administered on a background of a standardized anti-hypertensive (AHT) medication regimen, in subjects with uncontrolled and/or treatment-resistant hypertension.
The study consists of a standardized AHT regimen run-in phase followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel arm phase, after which subjects will enter a washout period ending with an end of study (EoS) visit. Subjects may be offered the opportunity to participate in an open-label extension (OLE). Any subject electing to not participate in the OLE will undergo an end of study (EoS) visit to complete their participation in the study.
The study will be conducted at approximately 75-100 sites across the United States.
