Will zilebesiran, an RNA interference therapy, be effective, safe, and improve the treatment of hypertension?

The main problem with zilebesiran is that it only has a modest effect on blood pressure, and it is likely to have to be used as add-on therapy, which will probably reduce any benefits on adherence it has. It was also difficult to reliably interpret the results of KARDIA-1 as blood pressure went up significantly in the placebo group. KARDIA-1 did not answer previous concerns about zilebesiran; (i) what happens during volume depletion, sepsis, and pregnancy when angiotensinogen is inhibited long term or (ii) will it be effective in a high sodium diet.

Abstract

The main problem with zilebesiran is that it only has a modest effect on blood pressure, and it is likely to have to be used as add-on therapy, which will probably reduce any benefits on adherence it has. It was also difficult to reliably interpret the results of KARDIA-1 as blood pressure went up significantly in the placebo group. KARDIA-1 did not answer previous concerns about zilebesiran; (i) what happens during volume depletion, sepsis, and pregnancy when angiotensinogen is inhibited long term or (ii) will it be effective in a high sodium diet.
