This builds on the already compelling disease-modifying dose-dependent activity and well-tolerated safety profile for atacicept.

Key Points: 
  • This builds on the already compelling disease-modifying dose-dependent activity and well-tolerated safety profile for atacicept.
  • We look forward to the results of the ORIGIN trial which will be a first for the field.
  • Subjects were randomized 2:2:1:2 to atacicept 150 mg, atacicept 75 mg, atacicept 25 mg, or matching placebo.
  • Atacicept showed a dose-dependent effect on key biomarkers and clinical markers in a Phase 2a clinical study.

    Vifor Pharma today announced full results from its phase-IIIb DIAMOND trial showing that Veltassa allowed patients to achieve long-term potassium control, reduced the risk of recurrent hyperkalemia and prolonged optimized and guideline recommended renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) therapy.
  • For cases where hyperkalemia is the dominant reason for not giving guideline-directed RAASi therapy, Veltassa can be an enablement strategy to allow patients to get optimized RAASi therapy while simultaneously lowering the risk of hyperkalemia.
  • To date, Veltassa is the only potassium binder studied in placebo-controlled trials proven to control potassium without compromising RAASi in a variety of patient profiles.
  • DIAMOND is the largest interventional study for potassium binders assessing control of serum potassium, hyperkalemia events, and enablement of RAASi in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and hyperkalemia in more than 1,000 patients.
