About Akebia Therapeutics
Akebia Therapeutics is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of people impacted by kidney disease.

Akebia also markets Auryxia (ferric citrate), which faces increasing generic competition. Beyond its commercial portfolio, Akebia is advancing a rare kidney disease pipeline that includes ebribafusp, a next-generation complement inhibitor being studied in IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and C3 glomerulopathy, and praliciguat, currently in a Phase 2 trial for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
