^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".
