Efficacy Results
- Launch-HTN Phase 3 trial met its primary endpoint:
- Lorundrostat 50 mg dose achieved a 16.9 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure
- 9.1 mmHg placebo-adjusted reduction (p<0.0001) at week 610
- At week 12:

- Used automated office blood pressure measurement to reflect real-world clinical settings10
- Patients remained on existing medications10
Safety Profile
- Lorundrostat demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile in both pivotal trials10
- Low rates of serious adverse events11
- Hyperkalemia incidence was 1.1-1.5% in Launch-HTN and 5.3-7.4% in Advance-HTN11
Significance
- Results suggest lorundrostat could be a "transformative new therapy" for approximately 15-20 million patients with uncontrolled hypertension in the US10
- Data from three successful clinical trials now support lorundrostat's efficacy and safety10
- Company believes the clinical profile supports potential FDA approval10
The positive Phase 3 results appear to strongly support Mineralys' plans to pursue FDA approval for lorundrostat as a novel treatment for uncontrolled and resistant hypertension. The company plans to present full results from the Advance-HTN trial at an upcoming medical conference on March 29, 202510.
