A Phase Ib, Randomized, Double-Blind, 4-Treatment, 2-Period Incomplete Block Study to Evaluate the Multiple Dose Effects of MK-7145 and Hydrochlorothiazide Compared to Placebo on Blood Pressure in Male Patients With Hypertension
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating MK-7145, Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), and 2 other interventions for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 46 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study is being done to evaluate the antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability of MK-7145 in participants with mild-to-moderate hypertension. The primary hypotheses for the study were as follows: 1. Multiple dose administration of 6-mg MK-7145 results in a reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) in male participants with mild to moderate hypertension that is superior to placebo, as measured by time weighted average change from baseline over 24 hours postdose (TWA0-24hrs) on dosing Day 28 2. Multiple dose administration of 6-mg MK-7145 results in a reduction in SBP in male participants with mild to moderate hypertension that is similar to hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), as measured by TWA0-24hrs on dosing Day 28 3. The effect of MK-7145 and HCTZ on natriuresis (UNaV) as well as SBP and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), both as measured by TWA0-24hrs, will be estimated 4. Multiple dose administration of MK-7145 for 4 weeks will be generally safe and well-tolerated.
