Efficacy and safety of esaxerenone vs trichlormethiazide for the treatment of uncontrolled essential hypertension in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a subanalysis of the EXCITE-HT study.

ABSTRACT: This subgroup analysis of the randomized, open-label, parallel-group EXCITE-HT study explored the antihypertensive efficacy and safety of esaxerenone vs trichlormethiazide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), stratified by baseline antihypertensive agent (angiotensin receptor blocker [ARB] or calcium channel blocker [CCB]) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR; <30 or ≥30 mg/gCr). Using thresholds consistent with those used in the main study to interpret the difference in systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP), the between-group difference in least squares mean change (95% confidence interval [CI]) in morning home SBP/DBP at the end of treatment was -2.5 (-4.8, -0.2)/ - 0.7 (-2.0, 0.6) mmHg. Trends were consistent across all subgroups. The geometric mean UACR sign
