Progress and Potential of FILSPARI in IgA Nephropathy

The company reported the strongest commercial quarter for FILSPARI, driven by increased demand from both new and repeat prescribers.
Management emphasized FILSPARI's role as a foundational therapy in IgA nephropathy, with ongoing efforts to generate clinical evidence supporting broad use and combination therapies.
Progress in expanding access internationally through CSL Vifor and Renalis was highlighted, with expectations for further growth.
The upcoming PDUFA date of August 28 for removing the embryo-fetal toxicity REMS and modifying the liver monitoring REMS is a key regulatory milestone.
Clinical data from the Phase II SPARTAN trial showed approximately 70% proteinuria reduction and nearly 60% of patients reaching remission, reinforcing FILSPARI's efficacy.
Real-world evidence and guideline recommendations are increasingly supporting FILSPARI's nephroprotective benefits, positioning it as a standard of care.
