We are a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company. Our team works to address complications of kidney disease. We have both a commercially available medicine and a late stage oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI), vadadustat, in global Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of anemia due to CKD. Vadadustat and other HIF-PHIs are based on Nobel Prize-winning science.
Vadadustat is an investigational drug that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any regulatory authority for use outside of Japan.
