Film-coated tablet for the treatment of resistant hypertension in adults in combination with at least three antihypertensive medicinal products
Jeraygo contains the active substance aprocitentan and is used to treat adults with resistant hypertension. Resistant hypertension is high blood pressure that cannot be adequately controlled despite treatment with at least three other antihypertensive medicinal products.
In deciding whether to authorise Jeraygo, Swissmedic took into account the assessments of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as well as the corresponding medicinal product information texts.
Since the assessment of the clinical data was based on the assessment reports of these foreign authorities, the preconditions for a full SwissPAR (Swiss Public Assessment Report - a detailed report for professionals) and a resulting Summary report on authorisation are not met. Swissmedic refers to the authorisation of the foreign reference authorities.
