    A few days ago, Calliditas Therapeutics announced that the US FDA approved budesonide (Budesonide, English trade name: Tarpeyo) sustained-release capsules for the treatment of adult patients with primary immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy who are at risk of rapid disease progression


    IgA nephropathy is the main cause of chronic kidney disease and renal failure.


    As a targeted release oral preparation, budesonide uses Calliditas' TARGIT technology to allow the drug to pass through the gastrointestinal tract without being absorbed, and only be absorbed when it reaches the lower part of the small intestine


    This approval is based on positive data obtained from a phase 3 clinical trial


    Reference materials:
