This study will be a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in up to 150 participants. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio and will receive a once-weekly subcutaneous (SC) treatment with either IONIS-AGT-LRx or matching placebo. The length of participation in the study will be approximately 31 weeks, which includes an up to 6-week screening period, a 12-week treatment period, and a 13-week post-treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of IONIS-AGT-LRx compared to placebo on seated automated office systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to Study Day 85 in uncontrolled hypertensive participants on ≥ 3 antihypertensive medications and to evaluate the effect of IONIS-AGT-LRx on ambulatory blood pressure, seated automated office SBP, seated automated office diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and plasma angiotensinogen (AGT) at each scheduled visit in uncontrolled hypertensive participants on ≥ 3 antihypertensive medications.
