– The Launch-HTN trial is the largest trial of an aldosterone synthase inhibitor completed in participants with uncontrolled or treatment resistant hypertension –

– Lorundrostat 50 mg once daily demonstrated clinically meaningful reductions in systolic blood pressure, with a 16.9 mmHg reduction at Week 6 and a 19.0 mmHg reduction at Week 12 –

– Lorundrostat was generally well-tolerated; and treatment-emergent adverse events were mostly mild, transient, and resolved without intervention –

RADNOR, Pa., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:MLYS), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing medicines to target hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other diseases driven by dysregulated aldosterone, today announced the publication of the positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 Launch-HTN trial in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). The manuscript titled "Lorundrostat in Participants with Uncontrolled and Treatment-Resistant Hypertension" is featured in the June 30, 2025 issue.

The Launch-HTN trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of lorundrostat, a novel aldosterone synthase inhibitor (ASI), when added to existing background treatment in 1,083 participants with uncontrolled or treatment resistant hypertension. The trial demonstrated that lorundrostat significantly reduced systolic blood pressure (BP) with a favorable safety and tolerability profile.
