FREMONT, Calif. and TOKYO, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardelyx, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARDX), a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted, first-in-class medicines to improve the lives of patients with kidney and cardiovascular diseases, and Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (Kyowa Kirin, TSE: 4151) today highlighted new clinical data presented within five posters at Kidney Week 2020, this year's virtual Annual Meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) that is now underway.
Of the posters presented today, three highlight tenapanor clinical data from Ardelyx's Phase 3 trials in the U.S., including the BLOCK, AMPLIFY, and PHREEDOM studies, while two present results from the Phase 2 studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of tenapanor in Japanese patients on hemodialysis conducted by Kyowa Kirin, to whom Ardelyx has licensed exclusive rights to develop and commercialize tenapanor in Japan for the treatment of cardiorenal diseases. In Japan, Kyowa Kirin has conducted three Phase 2 trials of tenapanor as KHK7791. Tenapanor, which was discovered and developed by Ardelyx, is a first-in-class therapy currently under review for potential marketing approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis.
Kevin Martin, MD, Professor of Internal Medicine and Director, Division of Nephrology, Saint Louis University commented: "Despite the serious cardiovascular consequences of elevated phosphorus levels, and the development of a variety of phosphate binders, we have made little progress in achieving sustained control of hyperphosphatemia over the past 30 years. Recent advances in our mechanistic understanding of phosphate absorption have led to a whole new way of thinking about how to manage hyperphosphatemia. With its novel mechanism of action targeting paracellular phosphate transport and comprehensive clinical data continuing to support its efficacy and safety, I believe tenapanor, if approved, has the potential to truly transform the management of hyperphosphatemia."

About Tenapanor for Hyperphosphatemia
Tenapanor, discovered and developed by Ardelyx, is a first-in-class, phosphate absorption inhibitor currently under review by the FDA (PDUFA date: April 29, 2021) for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with CKD on dialysis. Tenapanor has a unique mechanism of action that acts locally in the gut to inhibit the sodium hydrogen exchanger 3 (NHE3). This results in a conformational change of the epithelial cell junctions, thereby significantly reducing paracellular uptake of phosphate at the primary pathway of phosphate absorption. Tenapanor has been studied in three Phase 3 clinical trials in the U.S., all of which have met their primary endpoint and support the potential role of tenapanor as a foundational treatment in the management of hyperphosphatemia. In 2017, Ardelyx and Kyowa Kirin entered into a license agreement that provides Kyowa Kirin exclusive rights to develop and commercialize tenapanor in Japan for the treatment of cardiorenal diseases. In Japan, Kyowa Kirin has conducted three Phase 2 trials of tenapanor as KHK7791.
About Hyperphosphatemia
Hyperphosphatemia is a serious condition resulting in an abnormally elevated level of phosphorus in the blood that is estimated to affect more than 745,000 dialysis patients in major developed countries. The kidney is the organ responsible for regulating phosphorus levels, but when kidney function is significantly impaired, phosphorus is not adequately eliminated from the body. As a result, hyperphosphatemia is a nearly universal condition among people with CKD on dialysis. Despite treatment with phosphate binders (the only approved therapy for hyperphosphatemia), 77% of CKD patients on dialysis are unable to consistently maintain phosphorus levels ≤5.5 mg/dL over a six-month period (Spherix Global Insights: RealWorld Dynamix, Dialysis 2019). Phosphorus levels greater than 5.5 mg/dL have been shown to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients requiring dialysis (Block 2004), and internationally recognized treatment guidelines recommend lowering elevated phosphate levels toward the normal range (<4.6mg/dL).
About Ardelyx, Inc.
Ardelyx is a biopharmaceutical company translating scientific breakthroughs into promise for patients, driven to advance targeted therapies where significant medical needs persist. We have developed a unique and innovative platform that has enabled the discovery of new biological mechanisms and pathways to create targeted, first-in-class, oral, small molecule therapies to meet these needs. Our lead candidate, tenapanor, is currently under FDA review for the control of serum phosphorus in adult patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. Our discovery platform has also led us to the discovery of a lead candidate in our RDX013 program for the potential treatment of high potassium, or hyperkalemia, a common condition in patients with kidney and/or heart disease.
