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
Launch-HTN: 19.0mmHg absolute and 11.7mmHg placebo-adjusted reduction (p<0.0001) with 50mg QD at week 12 demonstrated the meaningful clinical benefit, safety and tolerability in "real-world" setting
Advance-HTN: 15.4mmHg absolute and 7.9mmHg placebo adjusted reduction (p=0.001) with 50mg QD at 12 weeks demonstrated the meaningful clinical benefit, safety and tolerability in "specialist" setting
Proof-of-Concept CKD and hypertension trial topline data anticipated in 2Q 2025
Proof-of-Concept OSA and hypertension initiated in 1Q 2025
Lorundrostat Potential Benefit Across Spectrum of CRMS
Targeting dysregulated aldosterone in overlapping CRMS conditions with high CV risk and large unmet need
High prevalence of aldo in u/rHTN Obesity link to dysregulated aldo ~20M u/rHTN patients
Abnormally Elevated Aldosterone Impacts Multiple Biological
Pathways and Is a Key Driver in Cardiorenal Diseases
Non-Genomic Effects
(GPR30 receptor)
Drives endothelial and renal tubular oxidative stress, microvascular fibrosis, inflammation and HF

In Obesity, via Visceral Adipocytes, Leads to Elevated Aldosterone Levels
Lorundrostat targets both the RAAS-dependent and -independent axes, providing a more complete solution to abnormally elevated aldosterone
Lorundrostat Is a Highly Selective, Potentially Best-in-Class ASI

Differentiated selectivity
Aldosterone inhibition with reduced risk of cortisol inhibition or off-target AEs
Optimal half-life
Aldosterone inhibition with rapid reversibility- essential for patients who may not tolerate a significant BP drop or are at risk for hyperkalemia, including patients with CKD
