Baxdrostat 2mg lowered systolic blood pressure by 15.7 mmHg (9.8 mmHg placebo-adjusted) from baseline, and was generally well tolerated with no unanticipated safety findings

Positive full results from the ​BaxHTN Phase III trial showed ​baxdrostat demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in mean seated systolic blood pressure (SBP) at two doses (2mg and 1mg) compared with placebo at 12 weeks. Results were seen in patients with hard-to-control (uncontrolled and resistant) hypertension who received baxdrostat or placebo on top of standard of care.

These data were presented today in a Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025 and also simultaneously published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Baxdrostat met the primary and all secondary endpoints in the BaxHTN Phase III trial, delivering meaningful and sustained blood pressure reductions in patients with hard-to-control hypertension. At week 12, the absolute reduction from baseline in mean seated SBP was 15.7 mmHg (95% confidence interval [CI], -17.6 to -13.7) and placebo-adjusted reduction was 9.8 mmHg (95% CI, -12.6 to -7.0; p<0.001) for the 2mg dose. For the 1mg dose, the absolute reduction from baseline was 14.5 mmHg (95% CI, -16.5 to -12.5) and placebo-adjusted reduction was 8.7 mmHg (95% CI, -11.5 to -5.8; p<0.001). The reduction in mean seated SBP with placebo was 5.8 mmHg (95% CI, -7.9 to -3.8). Results were consistent across both uncontrolled and treatment-resistant subgroups
