About aprocitentan
Aprocitentan is Idorsia’s once-daily, orally active, dual endothelin receptor antagonist, which inhibits the binding of ET-1 to ET_A and ET_B receptors. In May 2022, Idorsia announced positive top-line results of the Phase 3 PRECISION study with aprocitentan for the treatment of patients with resistant hypertension. Detailed results were published in The Lancet and presented as a Late-Breaking Science presentation during the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions in November 2022. More details and commentary can be found in the dedicated press release and an investor webcast featuring Prof. Markus Schlaich, an investigator in PRECISION. On March 19, 2024, aprocitentan was approved as TRYVIO™ in the US, with availability planned for Q4 2024. On June 27, 2024, the European Commission granted market authorization for JERAYGO™ (aprocitentan).
