Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - ADX-850
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo
Treatment: Drugs - Angiotensin Receptor Blockers

Experimental: PART 1 - Active ADX-850 administered to participants with hypertension - Part 1 includes up to 7 sequential dose cohorts (4 planned and 3 optional) to evaluate doses ranging from 100 to 800 mg (Table 3). In each cohort, 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to ADX-850 or placebo with the option to increase enrollment to 16 participants at the Sponsor's discretion and with SRC agreement.

At the start of each cohort, 2 sentinel participants (1 ADX-850 and 1 placebo) will be treated. The Medical Monitor and Investigator will review the available safety data from the first 48 hours after dosing to ensure safety before continuing enrollment in that cohort.

Placebo comparator: PART 1 - Placebo administered to participants with hypertension - Part 1 includes up to 7 sequential dose cohorts (4 planned and 3 optional) to evaluate doses ranging from 100 to 800 mg (Table 3). In each cohort, 8 participants will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to ADX-850 or placebo with the option to increase enrollment to 16 participants at the Sponsor's discretion and with SRC agreement.

At the start of each cohort, 2 sentinel participants (1 ADX-850 and 1 placebo) will be treated. The Medical Monitor and Investigator will review the available safety data from the first 48 hours after dosing to ensure safety before continuing enrollment in that cohort.

Experimental: PART 2 - Active ADX-850 administered to participants with hypertension - In Part 2, participants with hypertension will be dosed with ADX-850 in an open-label, parallel arm fashion. Participants whose SBP \>120 mmHg at Day 57 will be administered irbesartan, 150 to 300 mg, once daily. Dosing of the combination treatment group will begin with 2 sentinel participants who will be followed for safety for 48 hours after starting their irbesartan regimen before the decision is made by the Investigator and Medical Monitor to continue with combination treatment for all other participants who meet the criteria for irbesartan administration.

Experimental: PART 2 - Active ADX-850 plus ARB therapy administered to participants with hypertension - In Part 2, participants with hypertension will be dosed with ADX-850 in an open-label, parallel arm fashion. Participants whose SBP \>120 mmHg at Day 57 will be administered irbesartan, 150 to 300 mg, once daily. Dosing of the combination treatment group will begin with 2 sentinel participants who will be followed for safety for 48 hours after starting their irbesartan regimen before the decision is made by the Investigator and Medical Monitor to continue with combination treatment for all other participants who meet the criteria for irbesartan administration.
