Frequently asked questions about Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin

What is Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin?

Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin is an investigational fixed-dose combination of zibotentan and dapagliflozin being developed by AstraZeneca for chronic kidney disease with high proteinuria. It pairs an endothelin receptor antagonist with an SGLT2 inhibitor in a single oral regimen. The combination is in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical development.

What does Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin target?

Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin combines two mechanisms. Zibotentan is an antagonist of EDNRA, the endothelin receptor type A, while dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor. Blocking EDNRA reduces endothelin-driven vasoconstriction and proteinuria, and SGLT2 inhibition supports kidney and cardiometabolic protection. Both components are small molecules given orally.

Who makes Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin?

AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN, is developing Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin. The company sponsors the clinical program evaluating the fixed-dose combination in chronic kidney disease with high proteinuria, as well as studies of zibotentan alone in hepatic and renal impairment.

What phase is Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin in?

Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin is investigational and has not been approved. The combination has been studied in a Phase 2 trial in chronic kidney disease with high proteinuria, and a Phase 3 trial, ZENITH High Proteinuria, is active but not recruiting. Zibotentan alone has also been evaluated in Phase 1 pharmacokinetic studies.

What clinical trials is Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin in?

The Phase 3 ZENITH High Proteinuria trial, NCT06087835, compares Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin with dapagliflozin alone in adults with chronic kidney disease and high proteinuria and enrolled 1,835 participants across many countries. A Phase 2 study, NCT06942910, tested the combination versus dapagliflozin alone in 224 participants in Russia. Phase 1 studies NCT06715670 and NCT05112419 assessed zibotentan pharmacokinetics.

Is Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin the same as Zibotentan?

No. Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin is a fixed-dose combination product, sometimes listed as Zibotentan/Dapagliflozin FDC, containing both zibotentan and dapagliflozin. Zibotentan, also called Treatment A in some study records, is the endothelin receptor antagonist component studied on its own in Phase 1 pharmacokinetic trials.
