How this study is set up

The points below are drawn from the public registry record for this study. Each one cites the field or sentence it came from. A dash (—) means the record does not state something — not that it is missing or wrong. Many well-run studies, especially small ones, leave some of these blank.

Trial stature

Three independent measures of this study, described from its registry record — not a recommendation about it. A rigorous study by investigators nobody has heard of is better evidence than a weak study led by a famous one. How these are scored.

Investigator standingUNKNOWN

We have no verifiable track record for the investigator named on this trial. That is common for early-career investigators and for records held outside ClinicalTrials.gov — it is not a negative signal.

How this score is built
  • Investigator standing0/100

    No investigator recorded in the registry for this trial

These describe the registry record only, and today we hold ClinicalTrials.gov data. Absent fields lower a score, and absence often reflects registration practice rather than study quality. A high-stature trial is not necessarily safer or a better choice for you — enrolling in a large definitive trial can mean a higher chance of receiving placebo, while a small early-phase study may be the only route to a new therapy.

Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, factorial design Phase 2 study to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, safety and tolerability of a combination of QCZ484 and inclisiran compared to QCZ484, inclisiran, and placebo in participants with hypertension and concomitant hypercholesterolemia.

The study will last up to 12 months and has three periods: * Eligibility will be assessed during the screening period including 2 screening visits. Some eligibility criteria will be confirmed at the Baseline/Randomization visit. * Eligible participants will be randomized to receive a combination of QCZ484 and inclisiran, QCZ484, inclisiran or placebo once on Day 1 at the Baseline/Randomization visit. * Afterwards, participants will enter the safety follow-up period. Eligible participants who complete the treatment period have the option to participate in an open-label extension study instead of entering the safety follow-up period.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males or females aged 18 to 75 years. * Diagnosis of primary hypertension. * Treatment with either no, or up to 2 antihypertensive medications at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks preceding screening. * Systolic blood pressure ≥140 and \<165 mmHg based on the mean of 3 sitting measurements based on office blood pressure monitoring. * Diagnosis of hypercholesterolemia including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia unable to reach LDL-C goals with a stable dose of statin treatment for at least 4 weeks prior to screening as per Investigator judgement, guidelines and local practice (if tolerated and not contraindicated) with or without bempedoic acid and with or without ezetimibe prescribed according to local guidance, at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks preceding Screening Visit 1. The following parameters must be confirmed at Screening Visit 2: * Fasting serum LDL-C ≥70 mg/dL and \<190 mg/dL using Friedewald equation. * Fasting triglyceride \<400 mg/dL. Exclusion Criteria: * Symptomatic orthostatic hypotension. * Treatment with certain medications and/or unable to comply with prohibited medications requirements. Other protocol inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
