Travere Therapeutics Inc. (TVTX) is gearing up for a crucial milestone as it finalizes preparations to be ready for full approval of one of its drugs next month.

The drug in focus is Filspari, which was granted accelerated approval by the FDA to reduce proteinuria in adults with primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) at risk of rapid disease progression in February 2023.

IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger's disease, is a rare progressive kidney disease. It occurs when a protein called immunoglobulin A (IgA), which normally helps fight infections, builds up in the kidneys. This buildup affects the normal filtering mechanisms in the kidney, leading to blood in the urine (hematuria), protein in the urine (proteinuria) and a progressive loss of kidney function over time.
