The study drug is a potential new treatment for Resistant hypertension (high blood pressure).
Aldosterone, a naturally occurring hormone, plays an important role in managing blood pressure. When levels of aldosterone are too high, this can cause hypertension.
While effective hypertension medications are available, many people become resistant to treatment, also referred to as resistant hypertension.
This healthy volunteer study hopes to explore a medication with improved effects on reducing the hormone (aldosterone) responsible for causing resistance in currently available hypertension treatments.
The trial has been approved by an independent ethics committee and eligible participants will be reimbursed for their time.
