CinCor Pharma, Inc Announces Topline Data for Phase 2 HALO Trial Evaluating Selective Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitor Baxdrostat in Uncontrolled Hypertension CinCor Pharma, Inc. announced the topline results and completion of its Phase 2 HALO trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat in patients with uncontrolled hypertension taking up to two blood pressure medications at the maximally tolerated doses. Baxdrostat is a once daily potentially first-in-class, highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor. While HALO did not achieve statistical significance on its primary endpoint evaluating change from baseline in mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the intention to treat (ITT) population (n = 249), a pre-specified subgroup analysis of non-Hispanic patients (47%, 116/249) representing approximately 81-89% of the hypertension population in the United States, demonstrated a placebo-adjusted reduction in SBP of 12.6 mmHg (nominal p-value = 0.001) at the 2 mg dose. The safety profile and tolerability of baxdrostat was consistent with previously reported Phase 2 BrigHtn data in resistant hypertension. HALO did not achieve its primary endpoint of statistically significant change from baseline in mean seated SBP versus placebo in the ITT population; however, statistically significant reduction in SBP in the prespecified non-Hispanic subgroup analysis was demonstrated Hispanic or Latino patients represented 53% (133/249) of the ITT population of the study The non-Hispanic population of HALO represented 46% (116/249) of the ITT population in the study but represents approximately 81-89% of the hypertensive population of the U.S. The HALO trial was a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group, clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of baxdrostat in subjects taking up to two antihypertensive agents at their maximally tolerated dosages. The trial evaluated three active doses of baxdrostat (0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, and 2.0 mg) compared to placebo control in 249 patients randomized across all four dosing cohorts, with 249 patients completing. The primary endpoint of the trial was the change in SBP after eight weeks of treatment. Background antihypertensive therapy was to be discontinued after these eight weeks, and patients only took baxdrostat at the 2.0 mg dose for four additional weeks in Part 2 of the trial to characterize monotherapy responses and to enable long-term safety assessments of the drug in the ongoing 52-week open label extension study that follows the HALO trial, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023.

CinCor Pharma Announces Late-Breaking Presentation of Phase 2 BrigHtn Data for Baxdrostat in Treatment-Resistant Hypertension at the Upcoming 2022 American Heart Association Scientific Sessions CinCor Pharma, Inc. announced that the company will present Phase 2 data from its BrigHtn trial evaluating baxdrostat in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension as part of the late-breaking science session at the upcoming 2022 American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions taking place November 5-7, 2022, virtually and in Chicago, Illinois. Baxdrostat is a highly selective, once daily, oral small molecule inhibitor of aldosterone synthase. The presentation will include clinical data from CinCor’s BrigHtn trial, a Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled dose-ranging study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of baxdrostat in subjects who have not achieved their target blood pressure despite receiving three or more antihypertensive agents at their maximally tolerated doses, one of which must be a diuretic.

CinCor Pharma, Inc. Announces Positive Topline Data for Phase 2 BrigHtn Trial Evaluating Baxdrostat, its Selective Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitor, in Treatment-Resistant Hypertension CinCor Pharma, Inc. announced the topline results and successful completion of its Phase 2 BrigHtn trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of baxdrostat, a once daily potentially first-in-class, highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension, defined as patients taking at least three blood pressure medications at their maximally tolerated doses, one of which must be a diuretic. Results showed baxdrostat met its primary endpoint and achieved statistically significant placebo-adjusted reduction in systolic blood pressure, including 11 mmHg (p-value < 0.0001) at a dose of 2 mg. Key clinical data from BrigHtn suggests impressive efficacy and meaningful dose dependency in the treatment of patients with resistant hypertension: BrigHtn successfully met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant change from baseline in mean seated SBP versus placebo for the 2 mg and 1 mg doses: 20.3 mmHg SBP reduction at the 2 mg dose, or 11.0 mmHg placebo-adjusted decline (p < 0.0001); 17.5 mmHg SBP reduction at the 1 mg dose, or 8.1 mmHg placebo-adjusted decline (p = 0.0030); 12.1 mmHg SBP reduction at the 0.5 mg dose, or 2.7 mmHg placebo-adjusted decline (p = 0.3110). Secondary endpoint results included baxdrostat significantly lowering diastolic blood pressure (DBP) by 5.2 mmHg in the 2mg dose, and approximately 46% of patients in the 2 mg dose arm achieving blood pressure control (SBP less than 130mmHg); The BrigHtn trial completed enrollment with 275 patients after an Independent Data Review Committee determined that the trial had met pre-specified statistical criteria of overwhelming efficacy at the higher dose in this dose-ranging trial. Key clinical safety and tolerability findings of baxdrostat support a safe and well-tolerated profile: No drug related serious adverse events (SAEs) observed or major safety concerns were reported across all three dose cohorts tested after 12 weeks of treatment; Treatment-Emergent SAEs (TESAEs) were reported in 10 patients and deemed by investigators to be unrelated to baxdrostat. These TESAEs included hyponatremia, hyperkalemia, cellulitis, urinary tract infection, dehydration, hyperglycemia, arthralgia, dizziness, syncope, acute kidney injury, nephrolithiasis, acute respiratory failure, and respiratory failure, with one patient in the 2mg dose cohort experiencing six of these SAEs; One subject experienced an isolated instance of elevated potassium above 6mEq/L, which was deemed drug related, although upon retesting, the potassium level for this patient dropped sufficiently to allow resumption of baxdrostat, and the patient completed the trial with normal potassium levels. Overall, observed hyperkalemia rates in the trial were low, and resulted in no clinical safety concerns; Low discontinuation rate of less than 1% (2 patients) due to treatment-related adverse events, which included hyperkalemia and hypotension. お知らせ • Jul 27
CinCor Pharma, Inc. Announces Last Patient Randomized in Phase 2 HALO Trial and Initiation of Long-Term Extension Study for Baxdrostat CinCor Pharma, Inc. announced that the last patient has been randomized in the Phase 2 HALO trial of baxdrostat (CIN-107), a highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor, in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. CinCor also announced initiation of an open-label extension study of patients enrolled in HALO with uncontrolled hypertension to evaluate the long-term safety of baxdrostat for up to 52-weeks. The HALO trial is an ongoing Phase 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group, clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of baxdrostat in subjects taking up to two antihypertensive agents at their maximally tolerated dosages. The HALO trial completed enrollment with 249 patients randomized. The primary endpoint of the trial is the change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) after eight weeks of treatment. Background antihypertensive therapy will be discontinued after eight weeks and patients will only take baxdrostat for four additional weeks to characterize monotherapy responses and to enable long-term safety assessments of the drug in the open label extension study that follows the HALO trial. Topline data from the HALO trial is expected in the second half of 2022, and the open-label extension trial is expected to be completed in the second half of 2023. お知らせ • Jun 02
CinCor Pharma, Inc Doses First Patient in Phase 2 FigHTN-CKD Trial Evaluating the Selective Aldosterone Synthase Inhibitor Baxdrostat (CIN-107) in Patients with Uncontrolled Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease CinCor Pharma, Inc. announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase 2 figHTN-CKD trial evaluating baxdrostat (CIN-107), a highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor, in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The figHTN-CKD trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, parallel-group, Phase 2 clinical trial designed to assess the safety and efficacy of baxdrostat (CIN-107) in patients with uncontrolled hypertension and CKD. The trial is designed to enroll 300 patients with a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 25-75 ml/min and systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than 140 mm Hg, or greater than 130 mm Hg if the patient is diabetic. The primary endpoint is the change in SBP after 26 weeks of treatment compared to placebo. Biomarkers of kidney function will also be measured to assess whether aldosterone inhibition by baxdrostat can benefit kidney function beyond the anticipated impact resulting from improved blood pressure control. Initial data for figHTN-CKD is anticipated in the second half of 2023. CKD is a condition characterized by gradual loss of renal function over time that is measured by GFR, or how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. CKD afflicts at least 15% of the U.S. adult population, or approximately 37 million people. Hypertension, diabetes and glomerulonephritis, or inflammation of the tiny filters in the kidneys, are considered leading factors contributing to the development and progression of CKD. While currently there is no cure for CKD, new therapies that can significantly reduce the progression of renal disease and delay the onset of renal failure will be critical to improving the care of CKD patients.
