ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new medication called ADX-850 to see how safe it is and how well it works for people with high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The trial is currently looking for participants aged between 65 and 74 years. To be eligible, participants should have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 35, weigh at least 55 kg, and not be taking any blood pressure medications for the two weeks before the trial starts. It’s important that participants can access emergency services in case they experience any issues related to their blood pressure during the study.

If you decide to join the trial, you will attend regular visits where the researchers will monitor your health and how your body responds to the medication. They will check vital signs, conduct blood tests, and ensure you understand the study. If you are a man or a woman of childbearing age, you will need to follow specific guidelines regarding contraception during the study. This trial aims to provide more information about ADX-850, which could lead to better treatments for people with high blood pressure in the future.
