New treatment option for Atrial Hypertension
Official title SGLT2 Inhibition for Cardiovascular Endpoint Reduction in Hypertension
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06804161
What this study is testing
What is SGLT2?
SGLT2 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for atrial hypertension.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Hypertension (HTN) is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite existing therapies, patients with HTN still face substantial risks, due to pre-existing and ongoing end-organ damage due, in part, to inadequate blood pressure (BP) control.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
