(CinCor), a US-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company. The acquisition will support cardiorenal pipeline by adding CinCor Pharma, Inc. candidate drug baxdrostat (CIN-107), an aldosterone synthase inhibitor (ASI) for blood pressure lowering in treatment-resistant hypertension in CKD.
Global Hypertension in CKD Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization has declared it a public health emergency. As the COVID-19 cases are surging, the risk for patients acquiring chronic kidney disease is also increasing. For instance, according to a study conducted in May 2020 by the researchers at Mount Sinai Health System in New York City, U.S., the occurrence of kidney disease might increase as a post-COVID-19 effect in most of the COVID-19-positive patients. Moreover, according to the National Kidney Foundation, a study found that COVID-19-positive patients hospitalized in the span of March 11 and April 26, 2020, were likely to develop acute kidney injury (AKI) twice as often as non-COVID patients.
COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global hypertension in CKD market during the forecast period. According to the Indian Journal of Medical Sciences, on June 6, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the conduct of clinical trials due to the unavailability of trial site staff, restrictions for travel, investigational product availability, and others. These challenges are hindrances for developing new treatments for patients suffering from hypertension with CKD.
Global Hypertension in CKD Market: Key Developments
On May 2023, AstraZeneca Plc. announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the drug Farxiga (dapagliflozin) to reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) death, hospitalization for heart failure (hHF), and urgent heart failure (HF) visits in adults with HF.
