BaxHTN Trial Summary

This trial studies a drug to lower high blood pressure, despite current treatments, in 720 people aged 18+.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with high blood pressure not controlled by at least two medications, including a diuretic. Participants must have certain levels of potassium and kidney function. It's not for those with extremely high blood pressure or secondary causes like thyroid issues or specific heart conditions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Baxdrostat (1 or 2 mg daily) against a placebo in reducing systolic blood pressure. It's a Phase III trial where participants are randomly assigned to either the drug or placebo group without knowing which one they're receiving.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects aren't listed here, typical ones may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and potential electrolyte imbalances due to its effect on blood pressure and kidney function.

Answered by AI

What are the desired outcomes for this experiment?

"The primary objective of this study, to be evaluated over a twelve-week period, is determining the change in seated systolic blood pressure for 1 mg baxdrostat. Among other secondary objectives are assessing how 2 mg Baxdrostat alters sitting SBP and DBP at Week 12 as well as analyzing if it can reach less than 130 mmHg."

Because I am not even 40 years old and I've been afflicted with stage 2 hypertension that is resistant to treatment for no less than 20 years and if I continue at this rate I will die soon.
