Baxdrostat is an investigational drug that is being evaluated for the treatment of hypertension.[1] It is an aldosterone synthase inhibitor.[2][3]

Mechanism of action

Aldosterone dysregulation contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of resistant hypertension.[4] While conventional drugs act by blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor, baxdrostat, an aldosterone synthase inhibitor, targets the aldosterone synthesis directly. [2]

Clinical trials

BrigHTN

In adults with treatment-resistant hypertension, treatment with baxdrostat at doses of 1 mg or 2 mg daily produced significantly greater reductions in systolic blood pressure over 12 weeks compared to placebo.[5]

BaxHTN

BaxHTN is a phase 3 trial.[6] It found that adding once-daily baxdrostat to standard antihypertensive therapy led to significantly greater reductions in seated systolic blood pressure at 12 weeks compared with placebo, in adults with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension. [7][6]
