Targeting Aldosterone
in the Treatment
of Hypertension, CKD,
OSA and Beyond
Lorundrostat is a selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor (ASI) targeting aldosterone
Obesity epidemic is driving abnormally elevated aldosterone
contributing to hypertension, CKD, OSA and heart failure
Lorundrostat is a highly selective ASI that reduces aldosterone ~70% with once-daily dosing
Launch-HTN: 19.0mmHg absolute and 11.7mmHg placebo-adjusted response with 50mg once daily at week 12 demonstrated the
meaningful clinical benefit, safety and tolerability in "real-world" patients
Advance-HTN: 7.9mmHg placebo adjusted reduction at 12 weeks demonstrated the meaningful clinical benefit, safety and tolerability confirmed HTN
