ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new treatment called VB0004 for people with mild to moderate high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The study is in its first phase and aims to understand how safe the treatment is and how well it works. It will involve healthy volunteers and patients with hypertension, and it is designed to compare the treatment to a placebo, which is a substance with no active effect. The trial will be conducted in three parts, focusing first on healthy individuals and then on patients with hypertension.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 18 and 55 years old and must not smoke. They should also have a body mass index (BMI) that is within a healthy range. Women who can become pregnant and men who are sexually active must agree to use effective birth control during the study. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the trial to ensure their safety. If you or someone you know meets these criteria and is interested in participating, it could be a valuable opportunity to help advance treatment for high blood pressure.
