Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the effect of treatment with multiple doses of MK-8457 on systolic blood pressure in participants with mild to moderate hypertension in addition to safety and tolerability. The study hypothesis is that MK-8457 does not increase systolic blood pressure to a clinically significant extent, as measured by 24-hour mean ambulatory systolic blood pressure change from baseline after 10 days of dosing.
