About This clinical research study
MAC Clinical Research is currently conducting a clinical trial to evaluate an investigational drug for hypertension (high blood pressure). Untreated hypertension can increase the risk of several other health problems, including heart attack, so it is important to treat high blood pressure (BP).
While several treatments already exist, many patients do not respond adequately to these BP medications and research to discover better treatments is needed.

A full description of the study will be given before you decide to take part, both over the phone and during an appointment at a MAC clinic. This will include you receiving the full patient information sheet and an opportunity to ask the study doctor any questions.
If you contact us, it does not mean you have to decide at that point whether to participate.
If you do decide to participate you are free to withdraw at any time.
There will be approx. 19 outpatient visits plus 2 x 2-night residential stays included in these are 3 DEXA scan visits.

ABOUT CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES
Clinical research studies are performed as a way of bringing about progress in medicine and research. Clinical research studies make it possible to scientifically assess the properties of a drug, to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of a treatment or a medical device, or to learn more about a disease and methods to diagnose and monitor it.
If the study is successful, it may be an important step towards developing a promising new treatment.
MAC Clinical Research is conducting a trial to evaluate a potential new treatment for high blood pressure.
