Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-75 with mean seated systolic BP 140-179 mmHg at screening and randomization, either uncontrolled or resistant hypertension, and willingness to participate and follow contraception requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with severe hypertension (SBP ≥180 mmHg or DBP ≥110 mmHg) or certain cardiovascular complications may not benefit and may be excluded from the trial.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of low, middle, and high doses of SAL0140 in adults with uncontrolled hypertension. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three SAL0140 dose groups or placebo during a double-blind treatment period, followed by a withdrawal phase. The study monitors changes in blood pressure and safety outcomes, with adults 18 to 75 who meet criteria for uncontrolled or resistant hypertension. The trial is conducted at a single site in Beijing, sponsored by Shenzhen Salubris Pharmaceuticals with local collaboration as applicable.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, SAL0140 could help lower blood pressure and improve disease management for patients with uncontrolled hypertension.
How similar studies have gone: Previous dose-ranging studies of similar agents have shown BP reductions at effective doses; the current trial explores SAL0140 specifically in uncontrolled hypertension.
