Idorsia to collaborate with two leading academic medical centers to launch IMPACT-HTN – a US initiative to transform care for patients with difficult-to-control hypertension

Multi-phase program to standardize treatment, generate real-world evidence and explore AI-powered tools to improve outcomes for hypertension patients Allschwil, Switzerland & Radnor, Philadelphia – September 5, 2025Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) announces a first-of-its-kind initiative with the Stanford Hypertension Center and Duke Heart Center to launch IMPACT-HTN, a new three-phase program to transform and modernize the management of difficult-to-control hypertension. Patients requiring multiple medications for difficult-to-control hypertension face increasing challenges with care coordination, evaluation of underlying causes, and worsening outcomes. The initiative, led by Dr. Vivek Bhalla of the Stanford University School of Medicine and Dr. Sreekanth Vemulapalli of Duke University School of Medicine, is expected to generate real-world evidence, standardize clinical decision-making and deliver scalable tools that leverage AI technology to help identify patients with difficult-to-control hypertension who may benefit from innovative therapies that utilize new pathways, including Idorsia’s once-daily TRYVIO™ (aprocitentan), the first systemic hypertension treatment to target a new pathway in over 30 years. Sreekanth Vemulapalli, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke Heart Center, commented:“With novel therapies emerging to improve hypertension control, we are thrilled to work with our esteemed colleagues at Stanford and other hypertension centers to standardize the evaluation, management and access to innovative therapies for our patients with difficult-to-control hypertension. We’ll be collaborating with companies to develop high-touch AI tools aimed at supporting the care of our patients to meet people where they are. This is a cross-institutional collaboration which we hope to expand to improve the outcomes of our patients.” Despite progress in improving patient outcomes, hypertension remains a major global health issue, affecting an estimated 50% of adults in the U.S. Patients whose blood pressure that remains above target despite the use of appropriate therapy face significantly higher risks of cardiovascular events, including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure, and are nearly twice as likely to experience premature mortality compared to those with controlled blood pressure. Difficult-to-control hypertension is defined as above-goal elevated blood pressure in a patient despite the concurrent use of multiple antihypertensive drug classes. Vivek Bhalla, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine/Nephrology, Founding Director of the Stanford Hypertension Center, commented: “The IMPACT-HTN program challenges the boundaries of the standard care model for hypertension treatment by building a platform to fundamentally shift how we approach difficult-to-control hypertension. I’m proud to collaborate with Idorsia and Dr. Vemulapalli as well as Dr. Kenneth Mahaffey, the Founding Director of the Stanford Center for Clinical Research for this initiative. By developing and publishing best practices, analyzing real-world data and harnessing emerging technologies, we’re working to deliver impactful solutions that can transform hypertension care and improve lives.”The multi-phased IMPACT-HTN program is expected to deliver actionable tools, data and insights to improve care for those with difficult-to-control hypertension, including: A digital care algorithm to standardize how difficult-to-control hypertension is assessed and managed. Through interactive tools such as patient-facing algorithms, AI chatbots and a program portal, this initiative aims to transform protocols to improve patient care.A personalized hypertension risk score that will build on existing risk scores for prevention to better identify difficult-to-control hypertension patients at risk for negative cardiovascular outcomes so appropriate treatment protocols can be implemented sooner. A prospective early patient experience initiative that will enroll patients from hypertension specialty centers to better understand the treatment obstacles for patients with difficult-to-control hypertension and how newer treatments, like Idorsia’s TRYVIO, are impacting the treatment paradigm. Srishti Gupta, MD, CEO of Idorsia, commented: “We are proud to have pioneered the first treatment tackling a new pathway in hypertension in over three decades and as a leader in this area, we understand that our commitment to improving patient outcomes goes beyond the medicine. We are proud to collaborate with two of the world’s leading research institutions, on this exciting new program and believe IMPACT-HTN will help reimagine the pathways of care for hypertension patients who need additional options.” TRYVIO, a dual endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) is now available to prescribe. It is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs to lower blood pressure (BP) in adult patients who are not adequately controlled on other drugs. TRYVIO is now included in the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) and the American Heart Association’s (AHA) new comprehensive clinical practice guidelines for the management of high blood pressure, but many patients remain undiagnosed and undertreated. Important Safety InformationTRYVIO may cause serious side effects, including:TRYVIO can cause major birth defects if used by pregnant patients and has a BOXED Warning for embryo-fetal toxicity. People who can become pregnant must not be pregnant when they start taking TRYVIO or become pregnant during treatment with TRYVIO or for 1 month after stopping treatment with TRYVIO.People who can become pregnant should have a negative pregnancy test before starting treatment with TRYVIO, each month during treatment with TRYVIO, and 1 month after stopping TRYVIO.People who can become pregnant should use acceptable birth control before starting treatment with TRYVIO, during treatment with TRYVIO, and for 1 month after stopping TRYVIO because the medicine may still be in your body. If you are a person who can become pregnant, your healthcare provider will talk to you about pregnancy testing recommendations and the need to use acceptable birth control, the benefits and risks of TRYVIO, and the need to report suspected pregnancy right away to your healthcare provider.

Overall, more than 10 million nights of sleep prescribed in Q1 2025.Daridorexant: Positive data with daridorexant in patients with chronic insomnia and nocturia published in the Journal of Sleep Research and assessing the transition from night to day published in Sleep Medicine.TRYVIO™ (aprocitentan): REMS requirement removed by US FDA.Aprocitentan: Effect of reducing blood pressure and proteinuria in Black patients with resistant hypertension published in HypertensionRestructured convertible bond debt: Tailored approach to remove large debt overhang.New funding: Bondholders to provide CHF 150 m new money facility.Viatris collaboration: Updated agreement removed significant cash requirement for 2025. Financial highlights Net revenue Q1 2025 of CHF 59 m.US GAAP operating expenses Q1 2025 of CHF 5 m (income) were positively impacted by a one-off gain from the amendment of the Viatris deal with non-GAAP operating expenses Q1 2025 of CHF 78 m.US GAAP operating income Q1 2025 of CHF 67 m and non-GAAP operating loss of CHF 17 m. Guidance for 2025 – unforeseen events excluded QUVIVIQ net sales of around CHF 110 m.SG&A expenses of around CHF 210 m, R&D expenses of around CHF 100 m, leading to non-GAAP operating expenses of around CHF 325 m.US GAAP loss for global business of around CHF 125 m. André C. Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Idorsia, commented:“Beyond the transformation of Idorsia’s financial situation, we made significant progress on multiple fronts in the first quarter. QUVIVIQ is taking off in Europe with a particularly impressive performance in France following the commercial partnership to call on GPs initiated in October 2024; we hope Germany will follow suit, as a similar partnership will kick-in from April 2025. In the US, we have implemented a focused commercialization approach for QUVIVIQ to maintain sales until the potential descheduling of the dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) class can be achieved. We received great news from the FDA, with the removal of the REMS requirement for TRYVIO allowing a shift toward broad product availability in retail pharmacies. This, together with the early positive prescribing experience in leading US hypertension centers of excellence gives us confidence of the potential of our antihypertensive drug. Lastly, we streamlined the R&D organization to invest in our promising refocused pipeline. All these achievements put us on a solid path to reach our 2025 goals.” Financial results US GAAP results First Quarterin CHF millions, except EPS (CHF) and number of shares (millions)  20252024Net revenue  5910Operating expenses  520Operating income  6731Net income  6330Basic EPS  0.330.17Basic weighted average number of shares  188.9179.1Diluted EPS  0.230.13Diluted weighted average number of shares  270.8233.3 Net revenue of CHF 59 m in Q1 2025 resulted from QUVIVIQ product sales (CHF 25 m), product sales to partners (CHF 1 m), and contract revenues (CHF 32 m), comprising a one-off exclusivity fee of CHF 32 m paid by an undisclosed party in relation to a potential aprocitentan deal, and non-cash revenue related to the R-Bridge royalty monetization agreement of CHF 1 m. This compares to net revenue of CHF 10 m in Q1 2024 from QUVIVIQ product sales. US GAAP operating expenses of CHF 5 m (income) in Q1 2025 and CHF 20 m (income) in Q1 2024 were impacted by a one-off gain of CHF 90 m (Viatris deal amendment) in 2025 and CHF 125 m (Viatris deal) in 2024, respectively. Excluding these one-off gains, US GAAP operating expenses at Q1 2025 decreased by CHF 20 m, mainly driven by R&D expenses of CHF 27 m decreasing by CHF 6 m compared to Q1 2024 (CHF 33 m), and SG&A expenses of CHF 54 m decreasing by CHF 14 m compared to Q1 2024 (CHF 68 m). US GAAP net income in Q1 2025 of CHF 63 m (CHF 27 m net loss excluding Viatris deal amendment) and CHF 30 m in Q1 2024 (CHF 95 m net loss excluding Viatris deal). Excluding these one-offs, the reduced net loss in Q1 2025 was primarily due to lower operating expenses from cost savings through the effective restructuring efforts announced in November 2024 and higher revenue. The US GAAP net income resulted in a basic net income per share of CHF 0.33 (diluted net income per share of CHF 0.23) in Q1 2025, compared to a basic net income per share of CHF 0.17 (diluted net income per share of CHF 0.13) in Q1 2024.

Idorsia believes that these non-GAAP financial measurements more accurately reflect the underlying business performance and therefore provide useful supplementary information to investors. These non-GAAP measures are reported in addition to, not as a substitute for, US GAAP financial performance. Non-GAAP net loss in Q1 2025 amounted to CHF 25 m; the difference versus US GAAP net income was mainly driven by the one-off gain from the amendment of the Viatris Deal (CHF 90 m). The non-GAAP net loss resulted in a net loss per share of CHF 0.13 (basic and diluted) in Q1 2025, compared to a net loss per share of CHF 0.48 (basic and diluted) in Q1 2024. Viatris collaborationIn March 2024, Idorsia entered into a global research and development collaboration with Viatris, for the global development and commercialization rights to selatogrel and cenerimod. Idorsia received an upfront payment of USD 350 million (CHF 308 million) with Idorsia obligated to contribute USD 200 million for the development of selatogrel and cenerimod. Idorsia is entitled to potential development and regulatory milestone payments, and certain contingent payments of additional sales milestone payments and tiered royalties in the mid-single to low-double digit percentages on annual net sales. In February 2025, Idorsia reached an agreement with Viatris to update the terms of the collaboration. In exchange for a USD 100 million reduction to Idorsia’s contribution to the development costs due in 2025, Idorsia has agreed to a USD 250 million reduction in future potential regulatory and sales milestone payments, and an expansion of territorial rights to Viatris for cenerimod. The agreed royalties on future sales remain unchanged. Under the updated terms, Idorsia’s contribution for the development of selatogrel and cenerimod is reduced to USD 100 million with no commitment in 2025. Idorsia has contributed USD 73 million in 2024 for the performance of development services, and the remaining USD 27 million will be paid in 2026. Restructured convertible bond debt and new funding securedOn February 26, 2025, Idorsia announced that it has reached an agreement with more than two-thirds of the holders of its outstanding convertible bond debt on the main terms of a holistic restructuring of the bonds and a CHF 150 million new money facility, to alleviate the short- to mid-term debt overhang of CHF 800 million while retaining upside potential of key assets beyond the value of the debt. As part of the holistic restructuring Idorsia will issue up to 27.5 million shares and up to 25.5 million warrants. When complete, the tailored solution secures future operations of Idorsia into 2026. More information can be found in the dedicated press release. Capital increaseIn connection with the holistic restructuring of the convertible bond debt and raising of additional funds, 35 million registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.05 each were created out of capital band and were listed on March 4, 2025. Financial guidance for 2025As previously announced, for the Idorsia-led portfolio in 2025, the company expects a continued acceleration of QUVIVIQ with net sales of around CHF 110 million, COGS of around CHF 15 million, SG&A expenses of around CHF 210 million, and R&D expense of around CHF 100 million, leading to non-GAAP operating expenses of around CHF 325 million. This performance would result in an Idorsia-led business non-GAAP operating loss of around CHF 215 million and US-GAAP operating loss of around CHF 260 million. The company expects US-GAAP EBIT for the partnered business of around CHF 135 million – updated to reflect the positive impact of the one-off exclusivity fee paid by an undisclosed party in Q4 2024 but recognized in Q1 2025 – and mainly driven by the amended deal with Viatris. This would result in a US-GAAP loss for the global business of around CHF 125 million. All amounts exclude unforeseen events and potential revenue related to additional business development activities. Arno Groenewoud, Chief Financial Officer, commented:“The updated agreement with Viatris, and the convertible debt restructuring, together with the new money facility agreed with our bondholders, has significantly changed the financial situation of Idorsia. That said, there are still several steps to implement in order to realize what was agreed. The restructuring of the bonds is moving forward with the first step approved by the court, allowing us to proceed to the next bondholder meetings. We are also making progress with putting the new money facility in place. The excellent uplift with QUVIVIQ in Europe and the tight cost-control means we are well on track with our financial performance targets.” Liquidity and indebtednessAt the end of the first quarter of 2025, Idorsia’s liquidity amounted to CHF 51 million.

In France, QUVIVIQ is reimbursed for moderate and severe chronic insomnia patients after, or as an alternative to, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. The outstanding launch in France is driven by a combination of co-promotion with Menarini reflected by a new-to-brand share growing from 1.1% in September 2024 to 9.3% in January 2025 in the general practitioner (GP) segment, and a strong positioning to specialists in retail and hospital settings reflected by a solid new-to-brand share evolution from 9.7% in September 2024 to 14.4% in January 2025 in the psychiatrist segment. In Germany, QUVIVIQ was launched in November 2022 and is the only sleep medication in Germany that can be prescribed for long-term treatment of chronic insomnia. The progress made in Germany is reflected by the performance of QUVIVIQ on the market, with demand increasing by 20% quarter on quarter. In February 2025, Idorsia successfully concluded negotiations for the reimbursement price in Germany. Idorsia is expanding its commercial reach from specialist prescribers to GPs through a commercial partnership with Berlin-Chemie (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Menarini Group), which started in April 2025. In the UK, QUVIVIQ is recommended as first-line pharmaceutical treatment for patients with chronic insomnia, after, or as an alternative to, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I). QUVIVIQ was launched in October 2023 at NICE approval. The priority in the UK in 2024 was to secure regional access, and the team has achieved reimbursement throughout 85% of the UK, as well as raising awareness of QUVIVIQ among general practitioners. Increased access and awareness have started to translate into strong demand in the UK which grew by 48% from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025. In Canada, after being approved in April 2023, QUVIVIQ was launched in November 2023 to the private market, representing 55% of the Canadian insomnia market. To date, 85% of private Canadian lives are covered. The focus is now on public payers; the company submitted public reimbursement dossiers and expects decisions by the end of 2025. QUVIVIQ demand in Canada grew by 25% from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025. Austria will soon become the fourth EUCAN country to grant public reimbursement to QUVIVIQ, starting from June 1, 2025. This is a significant achievement in a country that has strict reimbursement rules and underpins the value QUVIVIQ brings to patients, physicians and the healthcare system. In Italy, QUVIVIQ is now officially available for all prescribers, following its publication in the Official Gazette in mid-March 2025, this includes GPs who represent nearly 80% of the total insomnia market. In Switzerland, Spain, and Sweden, where we are still negotiating for reimbursement, launches have been very successful despite the out-of-pocket costs for patients, particularly in Switzerland where we see a strong demand. Benjamin Limal, President of Europe and Canada region, commented:“Demand has grown by an impressive 50% quarter on quarter, mainly driven by reimbursed markets. Across Europe and Canada, more than 10 million nights of sleep have been prescribed in the first quarter of 2025. Recent successes in access and pricing, notably in Austria and Germany, reinforce our confidence for continued growth moving forward. QUVIVIQ has been strongly adopted by specialists and more and more general practitioners start prescribing QUVIVIQ due to our increased efforts with recent partnerships for the GP market.” For more information about QUVIVIQ in the EU, see the Summary of Product Characteristics.

United States ProductMechanism of actionIndicationCommercially available sinceDual orexin receptor antagonistTreatment of adult patients with insomnia, characterized by difficulties with sleep onset and/or sleep maintenanceMay 2022 QUVIVIQ® (daridorexant) net sales in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to CHF 5.9 million in the US, compared to CHF 6.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. As of the end of the first quarter of 2025, more than 180,000 patients have been treated with QUVIVIQ since launch in the US, over 600,000 prescriptions have been dispensed, and the product has been prescribed by more than 50,000 healthcare professionals. Michael Moye, President and General Manager of Idorsia US, commented:“We have implemented a streamlined, focused, and more cost-efficient commercialization approach for QUVIVIQ to maintain sales until the potential descheduling of the dual orexin receptor antagonist (DORA) class can be achieved. Our commercialization partner, Syneos Health, is fully operational and executing a highly targeted digital marketing plan supporting 20 virtual sales reps. Syneos is now also executing educational programming and market access activities in support of the virtual representatives. We are seeing early, positive prescribing results in key customer areas.” For more information about QUVIVIQ in the US, see the Full Prescribing Information (PI and Medication Guide). ProductMechanism of actionIndicationCommercially available sinceDual endothelin receptor antagonistTreatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, to lower blood pressure in adult patients who are not adequately controlled on other drugsOctober 2024 On March 19, 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved TRYVIO™ (aprocitentan) for the treatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, to lower blood pressure in adult patients who are not adequately controlled on other drugs. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions. The recommended dosage of TRYVIO is 12.5 mg orally once daily, with or without food. Following the approval, the US team rapidly established the positioning, branding, websites, materials, training and educational platforms, and field sales force and MSL coverage plans. TRYVIO was made available for prescription in October 2024 via Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy. There is ongoing engagement with hypertension experts at major cardiovascular and nephrology congresses and encouraging discussions with payors. In March 2025, the US FDA fully released TRYVIO from its REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) requirement to minimize the burden on the healthcare delivery system of complying with the REMS. The US FDA has determined that a REMS is no longer necessary to ensure the benefits of TRYVIO outweigh the risk of embryo-fetal toxicity and that labeling is sufficient for conveying the safety information. As a result, a rapid transition from specialty pharmacy to a wide retail pharmacy distribution model is underway. Funding for a field sales force and promotional activities continues to be dependent on a partnership deal. Michael concluded:“Early prescribing experience in leading US hypertension centers of excellence has been very positive, with prescribers confirming that they are seeing blood pressure reductions, safety and tolerability consistent with the Phase 3 study. The REMS removal and shift toward broad product availability in retail pharmacies has profoundly improved the potential of TRYVIO to reach millions of patients struggling with their hypertension on existing medication regimens.” For more information see the Full Prescribing Information including BOXED Warning (PI and Medication Guide). Research & DevelopmentOur drug discovery engine has produced innovative drugs with the potential to transform the treatment paradigm in multiple therapeutic areas, including CNS, cardiovascular, and immunological disorders, as well as orphan diseases. The company also has a vaccine platform for the discovery and development of glycoconjugate vaccines to prevent infection. The company has focused its drug discovery efforts, reducing the number of active projects in research and development and preparing some for out-licensing. The prioritization has resulted in a portfolio of assets where Idorsia intends to develop to the next inflection point before partnering, or when feasible and appropriate, developing further ourselves. The company expects new lucerastat data from a kidney biopsy sub-study (to the ongoing Phase 3 open-label extension study) in the second quarter of 2025, with further discussions on the regulatory pathway to follow. The results from a Phase 1 study of our Clostridium difficile infection vaccine are also expected in the coming months. The company will need to further prioritize activities in order to reduce costs and the decisions on which assets to advance will be taken based on the data when available and the results of ongoing out-licensing discussions for early-stage assets. In March 2025, “A randomized cross-over trial of daridorexant for the treatment of chronic insomnia and nocturia” was published in the Journal of Sleep Research. The new data provides evidence of the benefit of daridorexant, at a daily dose of 50 mg, in patients aged >=55 years with chronic insomnia and comorbid nocturia, with efficacy data on symptoms of both conditions, improvement in daytime functioning, and a good safety and tolerability profile. In April 2025, the “Effect of daridorexant on nighttime wakefulness and next-morning sleepiness: assessing the transition from night to day in insomnia disorder” was published in Sleep Medicine. The analysis of the Phase 3 data provides evidence that daridorexant reduces wakefulness throughout the entire night, while decreasing morning sleepiness and improving daytime functioning and alertness in patients with chronic insomnia disorder. Idorsia-led portfolioThe company will develop each asset to the next inflection point or seek a partner.

On March 19, 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved TRYVIO™ (aprocitentan) for the treatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, to lower blood pressure in adult patients who are not adequately controlled on other drugs. See the commercial operations section above. On June 27, 2024, the European Commission (EC) approved JERAYGO™ (aprocitentan) for the treatment of resistant hypertension in adult patients in combination with at least three antihypertensive medicinal products. The recommended dose is 12.5 mg orally once daily. The dose can be increased to 25 mg once daily for patients tolerating the 12.5 mg dose and in need of tighter blood pressure (BP) control. For more information about JERAYGO in the EU, see the Summary of Product Characteristics. Aprocitentan is an innovative and highly differentiated drug, commercially available in the US and approved in Europe and UK for the millions of patients who are unable to bring their hypertension under control with existing medications. As the first drug to target the endothelin pathway in systemic hypertension, aprocitentan has blockbuster potential in uncontrolled hypertension, particularly for difficult to treat patients with chronic kidney disease and hypertension, and further potential beyond hypertension. The priority remains to partner aprocitentan, having been released from the exclusivity constraint with the undisclosed party, the company will resume discussions with alternative potential partners that recognize the value of aprocitentan. In April 2025, “Aprocitentan for Blood Pressure Reduction in Black Patients” was published in Hypertension. The publication reports preplanned analyses of the efficacy, tolerability and safety of aprocitentan in the subgroup of African American patients enrolled in the Phase 3 PRECISION study in patients with confirmed resistant hypertension. Aprocitentan, when added to a combination of at least three antihypertensive drugs (four in more than 50% of patients), produced clinically meaningful and sustained blood pressure reductions. Aprocitentan also markedly decreased proteinuria in the patients with proteinuria at baseline. As reported by the authors, aprocitentan was safe and well tolerated, even in those Black patients with chronic kidney disease.

Idorsia’s JERAYGO (aprocitentan) approved in Europe as first and only ERA for the treatment of resistant hypertension

Idorsia receives approval from the European Commission (EC) for JERAYGO™ (aprocitentan) as the first and only endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) for the treatment of resistant hypertension.JERAYGO is a new oral antihypertensive therapy – the first in almost 40 years – that is working via a new therapeutic pathway. Allschwil, Switzerland – July 1, 2024Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) announced today that the European Commission (EC) has approved JERAYGO™ (aprocitentan) for the treatment of resistant hypertension in adult patients in combination with at least three antihypertensive medicinal products.1 The recommended dose is 12.5 mg orally once daily. The dose can be increased to 25 mg once daily for patients tolerating the 12.5 mg dose and in need of tighter blood pressure (BP) control.1 Hypertension is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease worldwide, impacting an estimated 1.3 billion people globally.2 Approximately 10% of these people have uncontrolled BP, despite receiving at least three antihypertensive medications from different classes, at optimal doses and they are categorized in hypertension guidelines as having resistant hypertension.3,4 Prof. Krzysztof Narkiewicz, MD, PhD, Head of the Department of Hypertension and Diabetology, Medical University of Gdansk, Poland, commented:“JERAYGO is an oral antihypertensive therapy that is tackling a new therapeutic pathway – the endothelin system. JERAYGO has demonstrated clinically meaningful rapid and long-term reduction in blood pressure. What I was particularly impressed with, this effect was shown in patients with resistant hypertension, whose blood pressure remained uncontrolled despite receiving at least three antihypertensive medications as background therapy. In Europe, there are millions of patients with resistant hypertension, and they are at a higher risk of heart attack, heart failure, stroke, end-stage renal disease and death due to their high blood pressure. With JERAYGO, doctors now a have an effective new treatment option to help control blood pressure in these patients.” Alberto Gimona, MD, Head of Global Clinical Development & Medical Affairs, commented:“We are very proud to have gained approval for JERAYGO, the first innovative anti-hypertensive drug in 40 years, acting on the endothelin pathway, which we believe is a key player in patients with resistant hypertension. We have seen a clinically meaningful and consistent blood pressure lowering across blood pressure measurement methodologies and in subgroups of patients with serious comorbidities – for example in patients with chronic kidney disease. We also saw a marked reduction in albuminuria with JERAYGO as evidenced by a decrease in baseline UACR. I’m very pleased that the wealth of data we have generated with JERAYGO is well reflected in the label. We will now work to expand marketing authorization by also applying for JERAYGO approval in the UK, Canada, and Switzerland.” André Muller, Chief Executive Officer of Idorsia commented:“With aprocitentan, we have a largely unencumbered asset approved in the US and Europe. We continue to carefully evaluate all our funding options including potential collaborations for the commercialization of aprocitentan, while preparing to make aprocitentan available in these two key markets.” About the Phase 3 PRECISION study1,5The efficacy of aprocitentan was evaluated in one randomized, double-blind (DB), placebo-controlled Phase 3 multicenter study. Patients with uncontrolled blood pressure (systolic blood pressure [SBP] ≥140 mmHg) despite the use of at least three antihypertensive medicinal products and following exclusion of pseudo-resistant hypertension (e.g., white coat effect, inappropriate blood pressure measurement, secondary causes of hypertension) were considered to have resistant hypertension. The patients were switched to standardized background antihypertensive therapy consisting of an angiotensin receptor blocker (valsartan 160 mg), a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine 5 or 10 mg), and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) throughout the study. Patients with concomitant use of beta-blockers continued this treatment throughout the study, in addition to the standardized background antihypertensive therapy and study treatment. A total of 730 patients received either aprocitentan 12.5 mg, aprocitentan 25 mg, or placebo once daily during the initial 4-week DB treatment (part 1). Thereafter, patients received aprocitentan 25 mg once daily during the 32-week single-blind treatment (part 2). At the end of the 32 weeks, patients were re-randomized to receive either aprocitentan 25 mg or placebo, once daily, during the 12-week double-blind withdrawal (DB-WD) treatment (part 3). The primary efficacy endpoint was the change in sitting SBP (SiSBP) from baseline to Week 4 during DB treatment (part 1), measured at trough by unattended automated office blood pressure (uAOBP). The key secondary endpoint was the change in SiSBP measured at trough by uAOBP from DB-WD baseline (Week 36) to Week 40 (part 3). Patients had a mean age of 61.7 years (range 24 to 84 years; 34.1% were ≥ 65 and < 75 years; 9.9% were ≥ 75 years) and 59.5% were male. Patients were White (82.9%), African American (11.2%) or Asian (5.2%). The mean body weight was 97.6 kg (range 46 to 196 kg) and mean BMI was 33.7 kg/m2 (range 18 to 64 kg/m2). Patients had a medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (54.1%), ischemic heart disease (30.8%), central nervous system vascular disorders (23.0%), chronic kidney disease stages 3 and 4 (22.2%; 19.3% of patients had eGFR 30–59 mL/min/1.73 m2 and 2.9% had eGFR 15–29 mL/min/1.73 m2), congestive heart failure (19.6%), and sleep apnea syndrome (14.1%). 63.0% of patients had four or more antihypertensive medicinal products. Key PRECISION findings1,5Doses of aprocitentan 12.5 and 25 mg showed a statistically significant reduction vs placebo on SiSBP at Week 4. The treatment effect was consistent for sitting diastolic blood pressure (SiDBP). The persistence of the BP-lowering effect of aprocitentan was shown in DB-WD treatment (part 3). In patients re-randomized to placebo, the mean SiSBP increased, whereas in patients re-randomized to aprocitentan 25 mg the mean effect on SiSBP was stable, resulting in a statistically significant difference. The treatment effect was consistent for SiDBP. The effect was also consistent across SBP and DBP measured by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) and assessed as daytime, night-time, and 24h periods at Week 4 and Week 40. A substantial proportion (i.e., at least 90%) of the BP-lowering effect was observed within the first two weeks of treatment with aprocitentan. The effect of aprocitentan was consistent across subgroups of age (including patients ≥ 75 years), sex, race (including patients with Black or African American origin), BMI, baseline urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), baseline eGFR and medical history of diabetes. The most frequently reported adverse reactions with aprocitentan were edema/fluid retention (mostly peripheral edema) (9.1%, 12.5 mg; 18.4%, 25 mg) and hemoglobin decreased (3.7%, 12.5 mg; 1.2%, 25 mg). JERAYGO is contraindicated for use in women who are pregnant, breast-feeding and in women of childbearing potential who are not using reliable contraception, and patients with severe hepatic impairment. For more information on the marketing authorization of JERAYGO in the European Union, please review the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). Notes to the editor About aprocitentanThe team at Idorsia has been working on the research and development of endothelin receptor antagonists for more than 30 years, successfully bringing three other molecules from this class to patients in different indications. Endothelin (ET)-1, via its receptors (ETA and ETB), mediates a variety of effects such as vasoconstriction, fibrosis, cell proliferation, and inflammation and is upregulated in hypertension. Aprocitentan is a dual ERA that inhibits the binding of ET-1 to ETA and ETB receptors and hence the effects mediated by these receptors.1 References JERAYGO™ Summary of Product Characteristics. 2024.NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC).
