Ardelyx Positive Data from Studies of Chronic Kidney Disease Therapy

  Ardelyx Inc., (Nasdaq: ARDX), a biopharmaceutical company founded with a mission to discover, develop and commercialize innovative, first-in-class medicines that meet significant unmet medical needs, today shared positive data on the use of XPHOZAH^® (tenapanor) in poster presentations at the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) Kidney Week 2023 meeting, currently being held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and will showcase XPHOZAH in an Exhibitor Spotlight event. Ardelyx’s presence at Kidney Week 2023 will honor the memory of Derek Forfang, Chair of the Ardelyx Patient Advisory Council and a passionate advocate for patients with kidney disease.

XPHOZAH, the first and only phosphate absorption inhibitor, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on October 17, 2023 to reduce serum phosphorus in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis as add-on therapy in patients who have an inadequate response to phosphate binders or who are intolerant of any dose of phosphate binder therapy. XPHOZAH offers a different mechanism of action that blocks phosphate absorption at the primary pathway and is administered as a single tablet taken twice daily.
