Summary

This trial tests lorundrostat, a medication that lowers blood pressure by blocking an enzyme involved in hormone production. It targets patients with high blood pressure not controlled by 2 to 5 other medications.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with uncontrolled and resistant high blood pressure, despite taking 2-5 blood pressure medications. Participants must have a history of hypertension for at least 6 months, an office-based blood pressure reading within certain ranges, and a BMI of ≥18 kg/m2.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of lorundrostat at two different doses compared to a placebo in lowering blood pressure. Lorundrostat is an aldosterone synthase inhibitor. This Phase 3 study involves patients who are already on multiple anti-hypertensive drugs.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects for lorundrostat aren't listed here, common side effects for this type of medication may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, gastrointestinal issues or electrolyte imbalances.

Mechanism Of Action

Other Research
High blood pressure treatments often target different mechanisms to reduce blood pressure effectively. Aldosterone synthase inhibitors, like Lorundrostat, work by blocking the production of aldosterone, a hormone that increases sodium retention and blood pressure. By inhibiting aldosterone, these drugs help reduce fluid retention and lower blood pressure. Other common treatments include ACE inhibitors and ARBs, which relax blood vessels by blocking the formation or action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. Diuretics help the kidneys remove excess sodium and water, reducing blood volume and pressure. Calcium channel blockers prevent calcium from entering heart and blood vessel cells, leading to relaxed vessels and lower pressure. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for patients, as it helps tailor treatment plans to individual needs and improves management of high blood pressure.
