Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Hypertension
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00635232
Lead Sponsor
Ligand Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn which doses of PS433540 should be given to patients with high blood pressure to lower their blood pressure. This study will also examine how safe PS433540 is when taken by patients with high blood pressure. Approximately 720 patients will be evaluated so that about 375 patients will be entered into the treatment phase of the study and be given PS433540.

  • History of malignancy other than adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer.
  • Subjects with a history of myocardial infarction or New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-IV heart failure.
  • Subjects with a history of cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack.
