Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18 years or older with confirmed hypertension and overweight/obesity who have not used antihypertensive medications or have only briefly tried one type and stopped at least 2 weeks before screening.

Probably not a fit

People with certain drug allergies to the study medication or related compounds, or those with a history of orthostatic hypotension, may not benefit and could be excluded for safety reasons.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of IBI362 in adults with mild to moderate hypertension and overweight/obesity who have not previously taken antihypertensive medications or have only briefly tried one type. Participants will receive injections of IBI362 or placebo over a defined period while maintaining stable diet and exercise patterns. Blood pressure outcomes and safety data will be collected to determine if IBI362 provides additional blood pressure reductions with an acceptable safety profile. The study is conducted at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai, under Innovent Biologics as lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience better blood pressure control and potential health benefits related to weight management and cardiovascular risk reduction.

How similar studies have gone: Prior studies of similar biologic agents in hypertension and obesity have shown promise, but this exact combination with IBI362 is being tested in a larger phase 3 trial.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. The investigator suspects that the participant may be allergic to the components of the study drug or drugs of the same class.
2. History of orthostatic hypotension, or blood pressure measured at screening meeting the criteria for orthostatic hypotension.
3. History or diagnostic evidence of secondary hypertension other than obstructive sleep apnea, including but not limited to: renal parenchymal hypertension, renovascular hypertension (unilateral or bilateral renal artery stenosis), aortic stenosis, primary aldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, polycystic kidney disease, and drug-induced hypertension.

8. History of acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic injury, acute cholecystitis, acute cholangitis, or symptomatic/treated gallbladder disease (except for participants who have undergone cholecystectomy and are judged eligible by the investigator); or serum amylase or lipase \> 2.0 × Upper Limit of Normal (ULN); or fasting serum triglycerides ≥ 5.64 mmol/L (500 mg/dl).
9. Chronic gastrointestinal diseases or systemic diseases that may affect gastrointestinal motility at screening, or use of drugs that may alter gastrointestinal motility, appetite or absorption within 3 months prior to screening.
10. History or relevant family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2A or 2B.
