Number of Participants With Serum Total Cortisol Level Before and After Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Stimulation Test
Week 8

The primary endpoint is individual participant's cortisol levels at each timepoint. Number of participants with normal stimulated serum total cortisol level at baseline are presented here. Characterisation of the serum total cortisol levels before and after ACTH stimulation test. An ACTH stimulation test using 250 μg ACTH was performed at baseline and Week 8 (End of Treatment), with serum cortisol level measured before and after ACTH stimulation test. Normal cortisol levels are defined as at least 18 μg/dL when measured 60 minutes (±10 minutes) after stimulation. If the Week 8 results show abnormal levels, a repeat test is conducted. In this repeat test, cortisol is considered abnormal only if both of the following conditions are met: the level is less than 14.8 μg/dL at 30 minutes (± 5 minutes) and less than 18 μg/dL at 60 minutes (±10 minutes).

Frequently asked questions about Baxdrostat

What is Baxdrostat used for?

Baxdrostat is an investigational small molecule being studied for uncontrolled hypertension and resistant hypertension, as well as for cardiac remodeling, heart failure, chronic kidney disease with hypertension, and primary hyperaldosteronism. It is being evaluated in Phase 3 clinical trials for hypertension indications.

How does Baxdrostat work?

Baxdrostat is a small molecule that targets aldosterone synthase, the enzyme responsible for aldosterone production. By inhibiting this enzyme, it aims to reduce aldosterone levels, which may help lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension, including those with resistant hypertension.

Who makes Baxdrostat?

Baxdrostat is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, a biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol AZN. AstraZeneca is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's efficacy and safety in patients with hypertension and related conditions.

What phase is Baxdrostat in?

Baxdrostat is in Phase 3 clinical development for uncontrolled hypertension and resistant hypertension. It is also being studied in earlier phase trials for related conditions. Baxdrostat is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities for any use.

What clinical trials is Baxdrostat in?

Baxdrostat has been studied in several clinical trials, including NCT06034743 and NCT06344104, both Phase 3 trials in patients with uncontrolled hypertension on two or more medications, including those with resistant hypertension. A Phase 2 trial, NCT06336356, evaluated cortisol reserve following treatment. A Phase 3b trial, NCT07686120, is planned in Chinese participants with uncontrolled hypertension.

Is Baxdrostat the same as Baxdrostat/dapagliflozin?

Baxdrostat is also known as Baxdrostat/dapagliflozin, baxdrostat 2mg, and Baxdrostat and dapagliflozin. These names refer to the same drug, baxdrostat, which is being studied alone or in combination with dapagliflozin for hypertension and related conditions.
