[{"type":"text","content":"– The FDA assigned a PDUFA target action date of December 22, 2026 – – The NDA is based on positive data from a successful clinical program demonstrating favorable safety and blood pressure reduction in adults with hypertension – – Topline results from the Phase 2 Explore-OSA exploratory trial did not reduce AHI; demonstrated a clinically meaningful reduction in blood pressure and favorable safety and tolerability in this population with difficult to control hypertension – RADNOR, Pa., March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MLYS), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines to target hypertension and related comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other diseases driven by dysregulated aldosterone, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the New Drug Application (NDA) for lorundrostat for the treatment of adult patients with hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs. The FDA has assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) target action date of December 22, 2026. “The FDA’s acceptance of our NDA for lorundrostat marks an important milestone in our efforts to address the clinically significant need faced by millions of patients living with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension,” said Jon Congleton, Chief Executive Officer of Mineralys Therapeutics. “While the Explore-OSA trial did not demonstrate a reduction in AHI, the blood pressure reductions and safety profile were clinically meaningful, especially for this difficult to control population. We believe lorundrostat has the potential to become an important new treatment option for resistant and uncontrolled hypertension, and we look forward to working with the FDA as we advance toward potential approval.” Explore-OSA Trial Topline Results The Explore-OSA trial was a Phase 2 exploratory trial of lorundrostat in forty-eight participants with an average body mass index (BMI) of 38.2 kg/m2, an average apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of 48.5 events/hr and an average systolic blood pressure (BP) of 142.3 mmHg (range 131-175 mmHg). After four weeks of treatment, lorundrostat 50 mg dosed in the evening did not demonstrate a clinically meaningful difference relative to placebo on the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), the primary endpoint.
