This study examined the dose-response characteristics of aprocitentan, a dual endothelin A/endothelin B receptor antagonist, in patients with essential hypertension. In a randomized, double-blind, parallel study design, eligible patients with a sitting diastolic blood pressure (BP) of 90-109 mm Hg received aprocitentan 5, 10, 25, or 50 mg, placebo, or lisinopril 20 mg as a positive control once daily for 8 weeks. Multiple automated office BP readings were obtained with patients resting unattended (unattended automated office BP) at baseline, weeks 2, 4, and 8. Ambulatory BP was monitored for 24 hours at baseline and week 8. After a single-blind placebo run-in period, 490 eligible patients were randomized to the double-blind phase, with 409 patients completing 8 weeks of therapy per protocol. Aprocitentan 10, 25, and 50 mg decreased sitting systolic/diastolic unattended automated office BP from baseline to week 8 (placebo-corrected decreases: 7.05/4.93, 9.90/6.99, and 7.58/4.95 mm Hg, respectively, P
