Travere Therapeutics — Filspari (sparsentan) $TVTX

for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis

NDA

FDA approved Filspari (sparsentan) to reduce proteinuria in adult and pediatric patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

About

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a serious kidney disease where scarring damages the organ's filters, leading to harmful protein loss and often progressing to kidney failure. Filspari (sparsentan) is a once-daily pill that works by blocking two key hormone pathways that contribute to this scarring and protein leak. By targeting these dual mechanisms, it may help reduce protein loss and protect long-term kidney function better than older standard therapies.

Pivotal trial

DUPLEX Phase 3 completed NCT03493685

To determine the long-term nephroprotective potential of treatment with sparsentan as compared to an angiotensin receptor blocker in patients with primary and genetic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
