    Vertex Reports Phase IIb Data for Inaxaplin with 42.7% Proteinuria Drop in AMKD

    Question

    Vertex Reports Phase IIb Data for Inaxaplin with 42.7% Proteinuria Drop in AMKD

    Direct answer

    Vertex Pharmaceuticals disclosed Phase IIb AMPLIFIED trial results demonstrating that inaxaplin achieved a 42.7% reduction in UACR for APOL1-mediated kidney disease patients with modest proteinuria. In patients with comorbid type II diabetes, UACR reduction was 17.3%. With enrollment in the Phase II/III AMPLITUDE pivotal trial now closed, clinical focus shifts to final registrational endpoints for the first potential APOL1-targeted therapy. — bullish pressure on VRTX.
