Following two prior rejections, the FDA has granted its long-awaited approval. Xphozah, an innovative phosphate absorption inhibitor, is now officially sanctioned for the management of serum phosphate levels in adult chronic kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis, particularly those who cannot tolerate conventional phosphate binders or exhibit insufficient responses to such treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company estimates that the condition, known as hyperphosphatemia, impacts the majority of the <strong>550K<\/strong> U.S. patients undergoing maintenance dialysis for chronic kidney disease. As per DelveInsight, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/chronic-kidney-disease-chronic-renal-failure-epidemiology-forecast\">total diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD<\/a> in the 7MM comprised of approximately <strong>16 million<\/strong> cases in 2022 and are projected to increase during the forecasted period (2023-2032). CKD has been identified as a female-dominant disease; in our analysis, the number of females suffering was higher than males. In 2022, <strong>52%<\/strong> of cases of CKD were in females, while <strong>48% <\/strong>of cases were in males in the 7MM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ardelyx faced a challenging journey towards approval, marked by obstacles following the issuance of an FDA complete response letter in 2021. During that period, the agency raised concerns about the medication\u2019s treatment effect, deeming it \u2018small and of unclear clinical significance.\u2019 But finally, on 17 Oct 2023, Ardelyx Inc. received FDA approval for <strong>XPHOZAH (tenapanor)<\/strong>, a groundbreaking phosphate absorption inhibitor. This medication is designed to lower serum phosphorus levels in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/chronic-kidney-disease-chronic-renal-failure-epidemiology-forecast\">adults with chronic kidney disease<\/a> who are on dialysis. It is intended as an additional treatment option for patients who do not respond well to phosphate binders or cannot tolerate them. XPHOZAH is taken twice daily as a single tablet and works through a unique mechanism that blocks the primary pathway of phosphate absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/infographics\/chronic-kidney-disease-chronic-renal-failure-market\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-1024x194.png\" alt=\"Chronic Kidney Disease Infographics\" class=\"wp-image-23441\" width=\"768\" height=\"146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-1024x194.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-300x57.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-150x28.png 150w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-768x145.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-1536x291.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics-1568x297.png 1568w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165319\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Infographics.png 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The approval of XPHOZAH marks a significant milestone for patients undergoing dialysis, their families, and the nephrology care community. It signifies a novel approach and a fresh treatment option for patients who, despite phosphate binder therapy, still grapple with elevated phosphorus levels. <\/em><strong><em>Ardelyx\u2019s President and CEO, Mike Raab<\/em><\/strong><em>, emphasized, that this accomplishment reflects our unwavering commitment to the kidney community since our inception in 2007. This approval underscores the compelling clinical merits and potential benefits that XPHOZAH can offer to countless patients. This therapy\u2019s journey began in our labs in 2008, and witnessing its availability for patients today is a testament to the relentless dedication, exceptional execution, and strong mission-driven ethos of the Ardelyx team. It is also a tribute to the patients, families, physicians, and clinical trial personnel who played a vital role in XPHOZAH\u2019s development. The kidney community eagerly awaits the launch of XPHOZAH, and our world-class team is well-prepared with a pioneering product.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>According to <\/em><strong><em>Dr. Glenn Chertow, a professor of medicine at Stanford University<\/em><\/strong><em>, he noted, \u201cManaging hyperphosphatemia has consistently posed a clinical challenge, especially as the majority of patients undergoing maintenance dialysis struggle to consistently reach their target serum phosphate levels despite conventional phosphate binder treatment. XPHOZAH, unlike phosphate binders, functions as a phosphate absorption inhibitor. In cases where patients do not adequately respond to phosphate binders, XPHOZAH has demonstrated its ability to increase the number of patients achieving their target serum phosphate levels. I am confident that XPHOZAH can enhance the care provided to hyperphosphatemia patients, offering a new treatment option with a complementary mechanism of action.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The FDA has granted approval for XPHOZAH for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd-treatment\">chronic kidney disease treatment<\/a> following an extensive development program, which involved over 1,000 patients across three Phase III clinical trials. These trials assessed the effectiveness and safety of XPHOZAH as a standalone treatment and in conjunction with phosphate binder therapy. All three CKD trials successfully met their primary and key secondary endpoints, named <strong>PHREEDOM, BLOCK, and AMPLIFY<\/strong>. The data from these clinical trials demonstrates that XPHOZAH significantly reduces elevated serum phosphorus levels in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis who received XPHOZAH treatment in clinical trials, diarrhea emerged as the predominant adverse reaction, affecting 43 to 53 percent of individuals. Notably, most cases of diarrhea were mild to moderate in nature and showed improvement over time or with a reduction in dosage. While diarrhea was commonly observed shortly after initiating XPHOZAH treatment, it could manifest at any stage during the course of therapy. Severe diarrhea, though less common, was noted in approximately five percent of patients undergoing XPHOZAH treatment in these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/blog\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd-treatment\">CKD trials<\/a>. Ardelyx successfully concluded two open-label clinical trials (<strong>OPTIMIZE and NORMALIZE<\/strong>) aimed at assessing various strategies for incorporating XPHOZAH into clinical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23115725\/Key-Development-Milestones-of-Xphozah-1024x409.webp\" alt=\"Key Development Milestones of Xphozah\" class=\"wp-image-25365\" width=\"768\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23115725\/Key-Development-Milestones-of-Xphozah-1024x409.webp 1024w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23115725\/Key-Development-Milestones-of-Xphozah-300x120.webp 300w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23115725\/Key-Development-Milestones-of-Xphozah-150x60.webp 150w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23115725\/Key-Development-Milestones-of-Xphozah-768x307.webp 768w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/23115725\/Key-Development-Milestones-of-Xphozah.webp 1128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from Ardelyx, several companies across the globe are also diligently working toward the development of novel treatment therapies with a considerable amount of success over the years. Key players, such as <strong>Aronora, Inc. (AB002), ProKidney (Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT)), Boehringer Ingelheim\/Eli Lilly and Company (JARDIANCE (empagliflozin)), KBP Biosciences (KBP-5074), Novo Nordisk A\/S (Ziltivekimab)<\/strong>, and others, are developing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/chronic-kidney-disease-ckd-pipeline-insight\">therapies for chronic kidney disease treatment<\/a>. The anticipated launch of these chronic kidney disease therapies will give tough competition to Ardelyx\u2019 Xphozah.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the current treatment paradigm, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/chronic-kidney-disease-chronic-renal-failure-market\">overall CKD treatment<\/a> scope involves <strong>FARXIGA (SGLT2 inhibitor) <\/strong>which is used for diabetic and non-diabetic chronic kidney disease patients. FARXIGA captured a whooping market size of <strong>USD 111 million<\/strong> in 2019 and is expected to peak at <strong>USD 559 million<\/strong> by 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over recent years, top SGLT2 players have been in a race to rack up lucrative approvals. With <strong>Empagliflozin by Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,<\/strong> the chronic kidney disease treatment market can witness another approval with a medium uptake by 2023. Empagliflozin has collected landmark results with data from CKD trials and would be a competitor to FARXIGA as the data could help pave the way for a catch-up approval. With the label expansions, Farxiga\u2019s sales have improved dramatically, but Jardiance is nowhere lagging. Based on the DelveInsight model, the therapy is expected to generate a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/chronic-kidney-disease-chronic-renal-failure-market\">chronic kidney disease treatment market size<\/a> of <strong>USD 9 million<\/strong> by its launch year (2023), and this chronic kidney disease treatment market size is expected to increase and reach <strong>USD 772 million<\/strong> by 2032.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698042035038\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>1. What is chronic kidney disease?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Chronic kidney disease occurs when the kidneys get damaged and cannot filter blood as efficiently as they should. Chronic kidney disease is defined as abnormalities in kidney structure or function that have been present for more than three months and have a negative impact on health. Chronic kidney disease is categorized into five phases based on the extent of kidney damage and function. In stage 1, there is modest kidney disease, and in stage 5, the kidneys have stopped working. The severity of chronic kidney disease varies.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698042048396\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>2. What are chronic kidney disease symptoms?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In the early stages of kidney disease, there are usually no chronic kidney disease symptoms. It can only be diagnosed if a blood or urine test is performed for another reason and the results show a kidney issue. Tiredness, swollen ankles, feet, or hands, shortness of breath, unwellness, and blood in the urine indicate a more advanced stage.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698042063473\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>3. How is chronic kidney disease diagnosed?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Chronic kidney disease can be detected using blood and urine tests. The eGFR blood test measures the efficiency with which the kidneys function. Ultrasound, CT scan, X-ray, and MRI imaging examinations are also used for chronic kidney disease diagnosis.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1698042077158\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>4. How is chronic kidney disease treated?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There is no cure for CKD, however, treatment can help ease symptoms and keep it from worsening. The treatment approach involves dietary and lifestyle adjustments, as well as medications to decrease blood pressure, blood sugar, or cholesterol. Diuretics are medications that help the kidneys excrete water and reduce edoema. In some circumstances, dialysis may be required. When the kidneys have failed, as in severe CKD, a kidney transplant may be an option.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delveinsight.com\/report-store\/chronic-kidney-disease-chronic-renal-failure-market\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-1024x256.png\" alt=\"Chronic Kidney Disease Market Outlook\" class=\"wp-image-23439\" width=\"768\" height=\"192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-1024x256.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-150x38.png 150w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-1536x384.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook-1568x392.png 1568w, https:\/\/assets.delveinsight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/08165201\/Chronic-Kidney-Disease-Market-Outlook.png 1584w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ardelyx has struck gold on its third attempt with Xphozah (tenapanor), the chronic kidney disease medication.
