About this update from Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc.
– Post hoc analysis from pivotal Launch-HTN trial shows statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in blood pressure in participants with chronic kidney disease – – In participants with chronic kidney disease and baseline albuminuria, lorundrostat significantly reduced urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio – – Lorundrostat demonstrated a favorable safety profile in participants with and without chronic kidney disease over 12 weeks – RADNOR, Pa. , May 30, 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, today presented new clinical data for lorundrostat at the 35th European Meeting on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Protection (ESH 2026 ) in Gdańsk, Poland . “Despite the availability of current therapies, up to 75 percent of patients with chronic kidney disease still have uncontrolled or resistant blood pressure, contributing to a high risk of cardiovascular events and kidney disease progression,” said Jon Congleton , Chief Executive Officer of Mineralys Therapeutics . “These results, together with our Explore-CKD trial findings, demonstrate lorundrostat’s potential to address the compounded burden of hypertension and CKD, underscoring its promise as an important potential treatment option for this difficult-to-treat population with high unmet need.” The analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of once-daily lorundrostat 50 mg by CKD status among 800 participants with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension enrolled in the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 Launch-HTN trial. Among participants with CKD (n=192), 71% were receiving three or more anti-hypertensive medications at baseline, compared with 56% of those without CKD. In addition, 31% of participants with CKD had systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥160 mmHg at baseline, versus 17% of participants without CKD. Lorundrostat demonstrated significant reductions in SBP that were comparable between CKD and non-CKD participants. At week 12, placebo-adjusted SBP reductions were 9.6 mmHg in participants with CKD (p=0.0022) and 12.2 mmHg in those without CKD (p
