Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Hypertension
Interventions
Other: Saline
Registration Number
NCT06857955
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of QCZ484 or placebo, given subcutaneously, every 6 months, at different dose levels in patients with mild to moderate hypertension

Detailed Description

Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics of QCZ484 with mild to moderate hypertension (HTN). Multiple doses of QCZ484 will be tested against placebo, administered as subcutaneous injection.
