High blood pressure is common
High blood pressure is very common, about a third of adults in the UK have it, but many aren’t aware of it.
Study overview
The aim of the NATRIX-SBP study is to see whether the study drug is effective in reducing blood pressure in people who have high blood pressure despite being on medication. Please note that this clinical trial will use an investigational drug product, the safety and efficacy of which has not been fully evaluated by regulatory authorities and which has not received marketing authorisation in any country.
Taking part in the NATRIX-SBP study is entirely voluntary. Around 732 people in the UK will take part in this study, which is divided into two parts, part A and part B. You will be in part A. If you decide to take part, you’ll be joining approximately 732 participants in a study that will last about 27 weeks, during which you’ll attend at least 10 face-to-face visits and at least one study phone call.
These visits are crucial for us to monitor your progress, administer the study drug (or placebo) and gather essential data.

Why is this study important?
High blood pressure is a common condition, affecting an estimated 11.8 million adults in England alone. High blood pressure increases the risk of heart disease and strokes, which are among the leading causes of death in the UK.
Despite high blood pressure being extremely common, the World Health Organization estimates that only 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure have it under control.
Some of the factors include patients being unable to tolerate their current medications or finding it difficult to take multiple tablets several times each day.

High blood pressure is linked to poor health
If your blood pressure is too high, it puts extra strain on your heart and blood vessels. This is called high blood pressure, or hypertension. Over time it can lead to a number of health problems including heart attacks, stroke, kidney disease and some forms of dementia.
Lowering your blood pressure even a little is helpful
The higher your blood pressure, the higher your risk of health problems, and lowering it is one of the best things you can do for your health. Even a small change can make a big difference – lowering the top number by 10mmHg lowers the risk of a heart attack or stroke by 20%.
