Corporate presentation summary
14 Jan, 2026Transforming chronic kidney disease (CKD) care
Rilparencel is a first-in-class autologous cell therapy with RMAT designation, targeting patients with stage 3b/4 CKD and type 2 diabetes, aiming to preserve kidney function and delay dialysis or transplantation.
Over 1 million people in the U.S. have stage 3b/4 CKD and diabetes, representing a significant market opportunity.
Standard of care therapies do not prevent progression to kidney failure in a large proportion of patients, highlighting unmet needs.
Rilparencel is made from a patient’s own kidney cells, requires no genetic modification, preconditioning, or lifelong immunosuppression, and has shown a favorable safety profile.
Clinical development and results
Phase 2 studies demonstrated statistically significant stabilization of kidney function, with an 85% improvement in annual eGFR slope in patients meeting phase 3 criteria.
No rilparencel-related serious adverse events were observed; safety profile was comparable to kidney biopsy.
Phase 3 PROACT 1 trial is ongoing, with pivotal topline results for the eGFR slope surrogate endpoint expected in Q2 2027.
FDA has agreed to use annualized eGFR slope as a surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval.
Enrollment for the accelerated approval efficacy analysis is expected to complete by mid-2026.
Manufacturing and operational execution
Two adjacent, company-owned manufacturing facilities totaling 180,000 square feet in Winston-Salem, NC, support clinical and future commercial supply.
Ongoing capital investment is focused on process readiness for BLA submission and commercial launch.
Expansion of in-house manufacturing capacity is aligned with clinical and commercial milestones.
