Single-Dose Zilebesiran Cuts BP Out to 6 Months: KARDIA-2
Quick Glance: Zilebesiran: Long-Term Blood Pressure Reduction in KARDIA-2
  • Administering a single subcutaneous dose of the RNA interference agent zilebesiran resulted in significant decreases in systolic blood pressure compared to placebo at 3 months when incorporated into a standard antihypertensive therapy in the KARDIA-2 study.

  • These effects persisted for up to 6 months in the majority of patients, despite the addition of supplementary antihypertensive treatment.

  • Regarding side effects, treatment with zilebesiran was linked to higher rates of mild hyperkalemia, hypotension, and a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate, with most cases being non-severe, temporary, and resolving without intervention.

  • The detailed outcomes of the KARDIA-2 study were unveiled by Akshay Desai, MD, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, during the recent American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session held in Atlanta, Georgia.
