Efficacy and Safety of Ocedurenone: Subgroup Analysis of the BLOCK-CKD Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ocedurenone (KBP-5074), a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, is documented to lower blood pressure in patients with stage 3b/4 chronic kidney disease (CKD) with uncontrolled or resistant hypertension (BLOCK-CKD study). However, the efficacy and safety of Ocedurenone in subgroups such as Hispanic patients or those with stage 4 CKD, diabetes, or very high albuminuria have not been reported.

Methods

A total of 162 patients were enrolled in the BLOCK-CKD study. The primary endpoint of these analyses was change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to day 84. Prespecified subgroup analysis of SBP focused on demographic (e.g., ethnicity, age) and medical (e.g., CKD stage, diabetes, albuminuria, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGF
