Authorised Therapeutic confirmatory (Phase III) Primary Aldosteronism defined by excess aldosterone secretion

A trial to learn how safe baxdrostat is and how well it works in adults with primary aldosteronism

EU CTIS ID: 2025-520740-16-00

What this study is testing

1. To assess the effect of baxdrostat versus placebo on seated SBP at Week 8 2. To assess the effect of baxdrostat versus placebo on achieving normalization of the Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System (RAAS) at week 8

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Male or female participants must be ≥ 18 years of age
  • Participants with a documented diagnosis of PA that fulfils the criteria defined in the 2016 or 2025 Endocrine Society Guidelines.
  • Participants willing and able to cease dosing of MRA or potassium sparing diuretics per study requirement for participants taking an MRA or potassium sparing diuretic at Screening.
  • eGFR ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73m2 at Screening
  • Serum potassium level ≥ 3.0 and < 5.0 mmol/L at Screening determined as per the central laboratory.

  • Previous surgical intervention for an adrenal adenoma or have a planned adrenalectomy, renal nerve denervation, or adrenal ablative procedure during the course of the study.
  • Has the following known secondary causes of HTN: renal artery stenosis, uncontrolled or untreated hyperthyroidism, uncontrolled or untreated hypothyroidism, pheochromocytoma, Cushing’s syndrome, aortic coarctation.
  • Serum sodium level < 135 mmol/L at Screening, determined as per central laboratory.
