-Summary
This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple dose strengths of baxdrostat (also called CIN-107) in the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension. The primary objective was to demonstrate that treatment with baxdrostat for 8 weeks would lower the systolic blood pressure (SBP) in patients who were hypertensive despite taking one or two anti-hypertensive medications.
Participants were assigned to take placebo or baxdrostat once per day for 8 weeks while they continued taking the regular anti-hypertensive medications. At the end of the 8-week period, qualified patients could participate in Part II of the study and receive 2 mg baxdrostat for 4 weeks while they discontinued taking the background anti-hypertensive medication.

+Arms and interventions
| Arm | Type | Interventions | Description |
|---|
| CIN-107 0.5 mg | Experimental | Drug: CIN-107 | Remain on background anti-hypersensitive regimen for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, patient will receive the highest dose of CIN-107 (2 mg) and discontinue their background antihypertensive agent(s) for 4 weeks |
| CIN-107 1 mg | Experimental | Drug: CIN-107 | Remain on background anti-hypersensitive regimen for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, patient will receive the highest dose of CIN-107 (2 mg) and discontinue their background antihypertensive agent(s) for 4 weeks |
| CIN-107 2 mg | Experimental | Drug: CIN-107 | Remain on background anti-hypersensitive regimen for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, patient may remain on CIN-107 (2 mg) and discontinue their background antihypertensive agent(s) for 4 weeks or withdraw study participation depending on BP control |
| Placebo | Placebo comparator | Drug: Placebo | Remain on background anti-hypersensitive regimen for 8 weeks. After 8 weeks, patient will receive the highest dose of CIN-107 (2mg) and discontinue their background antihypertensive agent(s) for 4 weeks |
- CIN-107 (Drug), also known as Baxdrostat: CIN-107 tablets by mouth once daily
- Placebo (Drug): Placebo tablets by mouth once daily
+Outcome measures
Primary outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Mean Seated Systolic BP (SBP) [8 weeks]: The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in mean seated SBP after 8 weeks of treatment in patients with uncontrolled HTN (Part 1).
Secondary outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Mean Seated Diastolic BP (DBP) [8 weeks]: The change from baseline in mean seated DBP with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)
- Change From Baseline in 24-hour Urine Aldosterone [8 weeks]: The change from baseline in 24-hour urine aldosterone levels with CIN 107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)
- Change From Baseline in 24-hour Serum Aldosterone [8 weeks]: The change from baseline in 24-hour serum aldosterone levels with CIN 107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)
- Percentage of Patients Achieving a Mean Seated SBP <130 mmHg [8 weeks]: The percentage of patients achieving a mean seated SBP <130 mmHg ("responders") with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1; Weeks 1 to 8)
- Change From Baseline in 24-hour Urine Renin [8 weeks]: The change from baseline in 24-hour urine renin levels with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)
- Change From Baseline in 24-hour Serum Renin [8 weeks]: The change from baseline in 24-hour serum renin levels with CIN-107 compared to placebo after 8 weeks of treatment (Part 1)
