Recent studies have demonstrated that elevated aldosterone production is prevalent in over 25% of all hypertensive patients.
Elevated aldosterone levels drive blood volume and blood pressure while also causing inflammatory and fibrotic increases leading to higher risk of stroke, kidney damage and heart failure.
By normalizing aldosterone levels, we believe lorundrostat can provide an effective and more targeted approach for the control of hypertension.
Lorundrostat has demonstrated selectivity for the reduction of aldosterone with no cortisol suppression. Lorundrostat selectivity holds the potential for targeted treatment of blood pressure in hypertension patients with abnormally elevated aldosterone
Lorundrostat has demonstrated compelling clinical results, and once-daily dosing flexibility and was well tolerated profile in a recently completed phase 2 clinical trial.
