A Study of CIN-107 in Patients With Uncontrolled Hypertension

This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple dose strengths of baxdrostat (also called CIN-107) in the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The primary objective was to demonstrate that treatment with baxdrostat for 8 weeks would lower the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients who were hypertensive despite taking one or two anti-hypertensive medications.

Participants were assigned to take placebo or baxdrostat once per day for 8 weeks while they continued taking the regular anti-hypertensive medications. At the end of the 8-week period, qualified patients could participate in Part II of the study and receive 2 mg baxdrostat for 4 weeks while they discontinued taking the background anti-hypertensive medication.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated Systolic BP (SBP)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in mean seated SBP after 8 weeks of treatment in patients with uncontrolled HTN (Part 1).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Mean Seated Diastolic BP (DBP)

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The change from baseline in mean seated DBP with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)

  2. Change From Baseline in 24-hour Urine Aldosterone

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The change from baseline in 24-hour urine aldosterone levels with CIN 107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)

  3. Change From Baseline in 24-hour Serum Aldosterone

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The change from baseline in 24-hour serum aldosterone levels with CIN 107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)

  4. Percentage of Patients Achieving a Mean Seated SBP <130 mmHg

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The percentage of patients achieving a mean seated SBP <130 mmHg ("responders") with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1; Weeks 1 to 8)

  5. Change From Baseline in 24-hour Urine Renin

    Time frame: 8 weeks

    The change from baseline in 24-hour urine renin levels with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)

  6. Change From Baseline in 24-hour Serum Renin
