Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc. presented a new post-hoc analysis from the Target-HTN Phase 2 trial of lorundrostat, a highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor, in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension (uHTN) and resistant hypertension (rHTN). The data were presented during the Late-Breaking Posters session at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2023, which is being held in Philadelphia from November 2-5. In this new analysis, investigators identified a population of responders to lorundrostat who experienced a median reduction in systolic blood pressure (BP) of 32 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Lorundrostat has 374-fold selectivity for aldosterone-synthase inhibition versus cortisol-synthase inhibition in vitro, an observed half-life of 10-12 hours and demonstrated approximately a 70% reduction in plasma aldosterone concentration in hypertensive subjects.
