Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this study is to assess the serum free cortisol response after ACTH stimulation test at baseline and at Week 8 in participants with uncontrolled hypertension.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a placebo-controlled study to evaluate cortisol reserve after ACTH stimulation test following treatment with 2 milligrams (mg) baxdrostat versus placebo.

The study consists of 3 period:

* 4-week screening period.
* An 8-week double-blind treatment period.
* A safety follow-up 2 weeks after last dose.

Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to one of 2 treatment arms:

1. Baxdrostat
2. Placebo

Participants will receive either baxdrostat or placebo.

The overall study duration will be up to 16 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participants with mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) on automated office blood pressure measurement (AOBPM) greater than equal to (\>=) 130 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) and less than (\<) 170 mmHg at screening.
* Participants with mean seated SBP on AOBPM of \>=130 mmHg and \< 170 mmHg at randomization.
* Participants must have a stable regimen of \>=1 antihypertensive medication (at least one should be a diuretic), for at least 4 weeks prior to screening.
