“The accelerated approval and commercial launch of TRUTAKNA represent transformative milestones for Vera Therapeutics and are the result of of years of hard work and dedication.
We are extremely grateful to the patients, investigators, employees, and collaborators who have contributed to this moment,” said Marshall Fordyce, M.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vera Therapeutics.
“We are thrilled that TRUTAKNA is available to eligible patients as the first and only therapy to inhibit both BAFF and APRIL in IgAN patients.
We are focused on a successful U.S. launch of TRUTAKNA, and we continue to advance the ORIGIN 3 program in support of a potential full approval.”
“Our team has decades of experience commercializing innovative therapies, successfully launching multiple blockbusters and kidney therapies,” added Matt Skelton, Chief Commercial Officer of Vera Therapeutics.
"Since receiving approval, our team has been promoting TRUTAKNA, and the early reception has been encouraging.
We are laying the groundwork for long-term leadership in helping IgAN patients.
We believe that the efficacy and safety profile of TRUTAKNA and the quality of our people will allow us to effectively serve nephrologists and IgAN patients in their treatment decisions.”
TRUTAKNA positioned to address significant patient need as the first and only BAFF and APRIL inhibitor approved for IgAN .
IgAN is a serious, progressive kidney disease driven by B-cell–mediated immune complex formation.
TRUTAKNA is the first FDA-approved therapy to target both B-cell activating factor (BAFF) and A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand (APRIL), the key upstream drivers of IgAN pathophysiology.
There are approximately 160,000 diagnosed IgAN patients in the U.S., roughly ~75% of whom are commercially insured.
Strong clinical profile positions TRUTAKNA as a potential foundational therapy in IgAN .
The accelerated approval of TRUTAKNA was based on results from the ORIGIN Phase 3 trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in November 2025.
3At 36 weeks, TRUTAKNA demonstrated a 46% reduction from baseline and 42% reduction versus placebo in proteinuria, with consistent benefit across all prespecified subgroups.
4TRUTAKNA-treated patients also showed a 68% reduction in galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and resolution of hematuria in 81% of patients with hematuria at baseline.
TRUTAKNA was generally well tolerated, with no serious, severe, or opportunistic infections and no cases of hypogammaglobulinemia observed.
In addition, there were no clinically significant effects of anti-drug antibodies on the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, or efficacy of TRUTAKNA over the treatment period.
TRUTAKNA is a once-weekly, at-home autoinjector, a desirable presentation for patients with proven success in other diseases.
Experienced team executing on U.S. specialty launch .
Vera Therapeutics has assembled an experienced cross-functional organization across sales, marketing, market access, patient support, and medical affairs with decades of experience in rare disease and kidney therapies.
Eligible commercially insured patients may pay as little as $0 out of pocket through the TRUTAKNA TRU SUPPORT™ program.
