TheracosBio president and CEO Brian Connelly said: “These data strengthen the evidence that Brenzavvy supports improvements in systolic blood pressure, which is beneficial for patients with kidney disease.

“Brenzavvy represents an important addition to the treatment options for type 2 diabetes.”

A separate open-label study examined a group of 34 patients with severe diabetes of HbA1c > 10.5 and ≤ 12.0%.

A significant 1.09% reduction of HbA₁꜀ was observed from baseline with a placebo-adjusted treatment effect of −0.53%. along with a mean change of −2.82% in the open-label group.

Systolic blood pressure levels were reduced by 5.03mm Hg compared to a placebo-adjusted reduction of 7.07mm Hg.

Some of the most common side effects while taking Brenzavvy include female genital mycotic infections, changes in urination and urinary tract infections.
