Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The aim of this study is to evaluate changes in blood pressure following the administration of esaxerenone in patients with colorectal cancer who develop hypertension during vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor therapy and show an inadequate response to antihypertensive treatment. In addition, the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio will be assessed to exploratorily investigate the effect of esaxerenone on proteinuria.

Key inclusion criteria

Patients who meet all of the following criteria will be considered eligible:
1) Patients with histologically or clinically diagnosed colorectal cancer.
2) Patients receiving treatment with a VEGF inhibitor, including bevacizumab, ramucirumab, or aflibercept, and who are expected to continue such treatment after enrollment.
3) Patients who developed new-onset hypertension or experienced worsening of pre-existing hypertension after initiation of VEGF inhibitor therapy.
4) Patients who have received either an angiotensin II receptor blocker or a calcium channel blocker as monotherapy at a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before enrollment.
5) Patients whose office blood pressure at enrollment meets either of the following criteria:
- Systolic blood pressure (SBP) of >=130 mmHg and <180 mmHg
- Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of >=80 mmHg and <110 mmHg
6) Patients in whom the urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio can be assessed before or at enrollment and serially evaluated during the study period.
7) Patients aged 20 years or older at the time of enrollment.
8) Patients who are able to provide written informed consent.

Key exclusion criteria

Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded:
1) Patients with a serum potassium level >5.0 mEq/L at the end of the pre-enrollment observation period.
2) Patients with severe renal impairment, defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
3) Patients with severe hepatic impairment, defined as Child-Pugh class C or an equivalent clinical condition.
4) Patients currently receiving a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, such as esaxerenone, spironolactone, or eplerenone.
5) Patients with serious cardiovascular disease, including unstable angina, myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months, or heart failure of NYHA class III or higher.
6) Patients with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, defined as HbA1c >=8.5%.
7) Patients with a clinically significant psychiatric disorder that is considered likely to interfere with study participation or medication management.
8) Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or may be pregnant.
9) Patients with a history of hypersensitivity to esaxerenone.
