[{"type":"text","content":"– Lorundrostat 50 mg dose achieved a 15.4 mmHg absolute reduction and 7.9 mmHg placebo-adjusted reduction (p=0.001), assessed by 24hr ABPM at week 12, with favorable safety and tolerability profile – – Lorundrostat is a highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor that disrupts aldosterone biosynthesis rather than blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor – – Data from Advance-HTN support the potential of lorundrostat as a best-in-class treatment for high-risk patients with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension who would normally be treated in a specialist setting – RADNOR, Pa., March 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MLYS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines to target hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other diseases driven by dysregulated aldosterone, today announced detailed results from the Phase 2 Advance-HTN trial, one of two pivotal trials evaluating lorundrostat in patients with confirmed uncontrolled hypertension (uHTN) or resistant hypertension (rHTN). In the trial, lorundrostat 50 mg demonstrated a 15.4 mmHg absolute reduction and a 7.9 mmHg placebo-adjusted reduction at week 12. Additionally, lorundrostat demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with modest changes in potassium, sodium and eGFR, and a low discontinuation rate. “With the recent announcement of data from our two pivotal trials, we now have a comprehensive dataset demonstrating the robust and consistent blood pressure reductions of lorundrostat in two distinct but complementary patient populations—real-world setting in Launch-HTN, and those with optimally treated yet uncontrolled hypertension in the specialist setting in Advance-HTN,” stated Jon Congleton, Chief Executive Officer of Mineralys Therapeutics. “These findings underscore lorundrostat’s clinical utility across diverse care settings and also provide critical insights for both primary care providers, who manage the vast majority of hypertension patients, and specialists, who treat the most complex cases. We are excited about the potential impact lorundrostat could have as a novel treatment to address a significant unmet need in hypertension care.” “Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is the gold standard for assessing the true impact of an anti...
