Hi All,

Something interesting. Sparsentan has been accepted for priority review by the FDA for a NDA for IgA Nephropathy. This was off interim results in their Ph3 pivotal trial following 36 weeks of treatment. Sound familiar (as in trial design)?

Travere’s FSGS Ph3 met primary endpoint data for interim analysis but the FDA wanted more data for priority review.

Both trials are ongoing. Travere announced a licencing deal with Vifor (CSL) for IgA Nephropathy last September. This is just for one kidney indication for Spartensan.

It’s been a long haul for Travere as well, but I guess patience pays off.

DMX-200 has been shown to be synergistic in pre-clinical work with endothelin A inhibitors eg sparsentan (ie replacing the ARB with Spartensan). Probably worth reflecting back on this.
