We are extremely grateful to the patients, investigators, employees, and collaborators who have contributed to this moment," said Marshall Fordyce, 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.

Vera Therapeutics Chief Regulatory Officer William Turner Retires, Nancy Boman Succeeds
Vera Therapeutics (VERA) announced a planned transition of the chief regulatory officer position. William Turner, current chief regulatory officer of Vera Therapeutics, is planning to retire and transition to the role of strategic advisor in the third quarter of this year after a successful tenure at the company, including the recent accelerated approval of Vera Therapeutics' first therapy in IgA nephropathy, Trutakna.

Vera Therapeutics Aligns with FDA on Revised eGFR Analysis Plan
Vera Therapeutics announced it has aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on a revised, earlier ORIGIN 3 eGFR analysis plan to support full approval for atacicept in adults with IgAN. "The eGFR results are now expected in the third quarter of 2026. Pending these results, Vera Therapeutics plans to submit an sBLA for full approval in the fourth quarter of 2026. Alignment with the FDA on a revised eGFR analysis plan follows a recent workshop hosted by the National Kidney Foundation which included clinicians, researchers, regulators, and patient advocates. In addition, the alignment with the FDA has been supported by the eGFR results from the ORIGIN Phase 2b trial of atacicept in IgAN," the company stated. "We are excited for the potential to deliver the first approved therapy targeting both BAFF and APRIL in adults with IgAN, and to bring forward the eGFR analysis to potentially support full approval of atacicept in this indication at an earlier date," said Marshall Fordyce, M.D., Founder and CEO of Vera Therapeutics.
Vera Therapeutics Advances Atacicept for Potential FDA Accelerated Approval
"The team at Vera Therapeutics is focused on execution as we advance atacicept toward potential FDA accelerated approval in IgAN," said Marshall Fordyce, Founder and CEO of Vera Therapeutics. "During the first quarter, we made meaningful progress across key pre-commercial activities, including in sales, marketing, market access, compliance, and commercial operations, to support a successful U.S. launch, pending regulatory approval. We are excited for atacicept to potentially be the first approved drug targeting both BAFF and APRIL in IgAN patients."
