^Allschwil, Switzerland - June 23, 2023
Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) today announced that further data for aprocitentan,
Idorsia's investigational dual endothelin receptor antagonist evaluating the
treatment of patients with resistant hypertension, will be presented as an oral
presentation by Prof. Markus Schlaich, MD, at the European Society of
Hypertension's 32(nd) European Meeting of Hypertension and Cardiovascular
Protection, taking place in Milan, Italy, 23-26, 2023.
The presentation is scheduled for Monday, June 26 (14:05 - 14:15 CEST) in Yellow
Hall 1, as part of the "Resistant and Uncontrolled Hypertension 2" session,
entitled "Effects of the dual endothelin antagonist aprocitentan on ambulatory
blood pressure indices in patients with resistant hypertension - results from
the PRECISION study". The presentation focuses on the effects on relevant
indices of ambulatory BP measurements (ABPM), including post-hoc analysis of
patients at high risk of cardiovascular events based on night-time BP values.
The abstract can be found in the meeting program

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 (https://www.idorsia.com/investors/news-and-

2022) featuring Prof. Markus Schlaich, an investigator in PRECISION. A new drug
application (NDA) for aprocitentan was filed with the US FDA in December 2022,
and the market authorisation application (MAA) was submitted to the EMA at the
end January 2023.
