the European Society of Hypertension Annual Meeting 2024
Allschwil, Switzerland – May 31, 2024
Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) today announced that data from the Phase
3 study of aprocitentan, Idorsia’s endothelin receptor antagonist,
will be presented by Prof. Krzysztof Narkiewicz, MD, PhD, at the
European Society of Hypertension’s
33rd European Meeting of Hypertension
and Cardiovascular Protection, taking place in Berlin, Germany, May
31 – June 3, 2024.
An oral presentation is scheduled for Sunday, June 2 (09:05 –
09:15 CEST) in Convention Hall I C, as part of the “Clinical
Studies” session, entitled “Blood pressure control with
aprocitentan in resistant hypertension”. The presentation focuses
on a pre-planned analysis evaluating the efficacy of aprocitentan
on the percentage of patients with controlled blood pressure
according to hypertension guidelines at different timepoints during
the Phase 3 PRECISION study. The abstract can be found here.
A poster presentation is scheduled for Saturday, June 1 (18:50 –
18:55 CEST) as part of the session “Moderated E-poster session 7 -
Clinical studies”, entitled “Effect of high dose aprocitentan in
patients with resistant hypertension not controlled by low dose”.
The presentation focuses on a post-hoc exploratory analysis
evaluating the observed long-term benefit of increasing to a higher
dose of aprocitentan (25 mg) in patients not achieving a blood
pressure control after 4 weeks on the lower dose (12.5 mg). The
abstract can be found here.
Notes to the editor
About aprocitentan
Aprocitentan is Idorsia’s once-daily, orally active, dual
endothelin receptor antagonist, which inhibits the binding of ET-1
to ETA and ETB receptors. In May
2022, Idorsia announced positive top-line results of the Phase 3
PRECISION study with aprocitentan for the treatment of
patients with resistant hypertension. Detailed results were
published in The Lancet and presented as a
Late-Breaking Science presentation during the American Heart
Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions in November 2022. More
details and commentary can be found in the dedicated press
release and an investor webcast featuring Prof.
Markus Schlaich, an investigator in PRECISION.
On March 19, 2024, aprocitentan was approved as TRYVIO in the
US, with availability planned for H2 2024. On April 25, 2024,
Idorsia received a positive opinion for aprocitentan (as JERAYGO™)
from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) as a
treatment of resistant hypertension. A CHMP positive opinion is one
of the final steps before marketing authorization can be granted by
the European Commission; a final decision is expected approximately
two months after publication of the CHMP opinion.
