Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00709137 ↗ Spironolactone Versus Amiloride as an Add on Agent in Resistant Hypertension Withdrawn VA Salt Lake City Health Care System N/A 2008-10-01 Joint National Committee 7 (JNC-7) defines resistant hypertension as a persistent elevation of blood pressure (BP) above goal - ≥ 140/90 mm Hg for the general hypertensive population or ≥ 130/80 mm Hg for persons with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease - for at least three months despite treatment with three or more optimally dosed antihypertensive agents, including a diuretic. The exact prevalence of resistant hypertension is uncertain but may include 5-20% of hypertensive persons in primary care settings and 15-35% of the older, higher cardiovascular risk hypertensive patients incorporated into recent clinical trials of antihypertensive therapy. Observational studies demonstrate that patients with resistant hypertension experience a higher rate of cardiovascular and renal target organ damage such as left ventricular hypertrophy, microalbuminuria, and renal insufficiency and more cardiovascular disease (CVD) events than patients whose hypertension is well-controlled. Additionally, resistant hypertension patients may be subjected to the considerable expense of multiple office visits, diagnostic testing for secondary causes of hypertension, and referral to hypertension specialists. Because multiple factors can contribute to resistant hypertension, an explicit, sequential approach to evaluation and management is essential to optimize blood pressure, reduce cardiorenal morbidity and mortality, and avoid unnecessary expense. A number of observational studies have suggested the potential efficacy of both spironolactone and amiloride when added to a 3 drug antihypertensive regimen, but to date no randomized study has directly compared the two agents. The goal of this study is to determine whether spironolactone or amiloride is the more effective fourth agent to add to a three drug regimen in patients with resistant hypertension.
NCT01095133 ↗ Do Acid Sensing Ion Channels Contribute to Heartburn? Completed University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Phase 1 2010-03-01 The purpose of this research study is to learn about whether treating the esophagus with amiloride reduces either the frequency or the time to onset of acid-induced heartburn in patients with nonerosive reflux disease. In particular, we are looking at people who have either had complete relief while using a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) or who have only had some relief of symptoms while on a PPI.
NCT01802489 ↗ Amiloride Clinical Trial In Optic Neuritis Completed Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Phase 2 2013-02-01 Optic neuritis (ON) is a common event in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and causes significant loss of nerve cells in the eye, resulting in poor vision. Optic neuritis also provides a sensitive way of testing the effectiveness of drugs that may help protect from loss of nerve cells in ON and therefore in MS. The investigators have identified through laboratory and early clinical research in humans that amiloride (a water tablet already in use) may be a drug that can be of benefit in optic neuritis by protecting from loss of nerves cells, ie a neuroprotective drug. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of amiloride as a neuroprotective drug in optic neuritis
NCT01802489 ↗ Amiloride Clinical Trial In Optic Neuritis Completed University of Oxford Phase 2 2013-02-01 Optic neuritis (ON) is a common event in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and causes significant loss of nerve cells in the eye, resulting in poor vision. Optic neuritis also provides a sensitive way of testing the effectiveness of drugs that may help protect from loss of nerve cells in ON and therefore in MS.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of amiloride as a neuroprotective drug in optic neuritis
NCT01804777 ↗ Epithelial Sodium Channel (ENaC) as a Novel Mechanism for Hypertension and Volume Expansion in Type 2 Diabetes Terminated Dialysis Clinic, Inc. Early Phase 1 2013-03-01 The purpose of this study is to determine with the administration of amiloride, observe an enhanced natriuresis, reduction in blood pressure and weight compared to the administration of hydrochlorothiazide in Type 2 Diabetics.

Clinical Trials Update, Market Analysis, and Projection for MIDAMOR

Last updated: February 1, 2026

Summary

Midamor (amiloride) is a potassium-sparing diuretic primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure. Recently, there has been increased interest in its expanded therapeutic potential, adverse event profile, and regulatory status. This report consolidates the latest clinical trial data, evaluates current market dynamics, and projects future growth based on emerging trends, competitor landscape, and regulatory shifts.

FAQs

1. What are the primary clinical advantages of MIDAMOR over its competitors?

MIDAMOR’s key advantages include a well-established safety profile, low cost, and efficacy in resistant hypertension cases. Its mechanism of potassium retention offers unique benefits in specific patient populations, such as those intolerant to other diuretics.

2. How might ongoing clinical trials influence MIDAMOR’s market position?

Positive trial outcomes could enable label expansion, increase off-label prescriptions, and open opportunities in new therapeutic areas like resistant hypertension and primary aldosteronism—significantly elevating its market share.

3. What are the main safety concerns associated with MIDAMOR?

Hyperkalemia remains the most significant adverse event, requiring monitoring, especially in CKD patients or those on concomitant medications affecting potassium balance.

4. How does generic competition impact MIDAMOR's market strategy?

Generic availability drives down prices but limits profit margins. It necessitates positioning MIDAMOR as part of combination therapies or for specialized populations where it offers distinct clinical benefits.

5. What regulatory pathways could facilitate MIDAMOR’s expanded use?

The FDA’s 505(b)(2) pathway for repurposed drugs and increasing acceptance of off-label use supported by clinical evidence provide routes for faster approval for new indications.
