Mineralys Therapeutics Inc

Mineralys Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on developing medicines to target hypertension, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other diseases driven by abnormally elevated aldosterone. The Company’s product candidate, lorundrostat, is a proprietary, orally administered, highly selective aldosterone synthase inhibitor (ASI) that the Company is initially developing for the treatment of patients with uncontrolled hypertension (uHTN). Lorundrostat is designed to reduce aldosterone levels by inhibiting CYP11B2, the enzyme responsible for producing the hormone. The Company completed the Target-HTN trial, a Phase II proof-of-concept trial for lorundrostat in the treatment of uHTN. In addition to hypertension, the Company intends to develop lorundrostat for the treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
