Will zilebesiran, an RNA interference therapy, be effective, safe, and improve the treatment of hypertension?

Introduction Less than half of the subjects with hypertension have been diagnosed and treated, with only 21% having their blood pressure under control. Many of the subjects find it difficult to adhere to daily antihypertensives. Zilebesiran reduces hepatic angiotensinogen messenger RNA levels to inhibit the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and is being developed as a long-acting anti-hypertensive agent.
