Run by Third Military Medical University · NCT07884955 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether inclisiran plus amlodipine works differently from a statin-based approach in people with primary aldosteronism and high blood pressure.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults 18-70 with diagnosed primary aldosteronism and hypertension, whose BP can be controlled to <160/100 mmHg after a washout period.

Probably not a fit

Patients with very high blood pressure (BP >180/110 mmHg), significant hepatic or renal impairment, or recent major cardiac events may not benefit and could be excluded for safety.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares two lipid-lowering strategies in adults with primary aldosteronism and hypertension. Participants are randomized to receive inclisiran-based therapy or a statin-based regimen, alongside standard antihypertensive care. The study aims to see how these treatments influence aldosterone levels and blood pressure, while monitoring safety and lipid outcomes. Eligible participants are adults 18-70 with PA, controlled blood pressure after washout, and stable potassium within a defined range. The trial is conducted at Daping Hospital, with Third Military Medical University as the lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could clarify whether inclisiran offers an advantage over statins in modulating aldosterone-related pathways and improving blood pressure control in PA.

How similar studies have gone: Prior evidence suggests lipid-lowering strategies can impact aldosterone, but this exact comparison between inclisiran and statins in PA is novel and not yet established.
