Sponsor's own description

This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple dose strengths of baxdrostat (also called CIN-107) in the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The primary objective was to demonstrate that treatment with baxdrostat for 8 weeks would lower the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients who were hypertensive despite taking one or two anti-hypertensive medications. Participants were assigned to take placebo or baxdrostat once per day for 8 weeks while they continued taking the regular anti-hypertensive medications. At the end of the 8-week period, qualified patients could participate in Part II of the study and receive 2 mg baxdrostat for 4 weeks while they discontinued taking the background anti-hypertensive medication.
