About the Company

ProKidney

Develops cell therapy to treat CKD

ProKidney develops rilparencel, a cell therapy designed to preserve kidney function in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The product is in late-stage clinical trials, and the goal is to delay or potentially avoid the need for dialysis by slowing the loss of kidney function. The treatment works by using transplanted or administered cells to support kidney tissue and function, offering a therapeutic option beyond standard care. ProKidney plans to commercialize rilparencel through sales to healthcare providers and direct-to-patient access, with potential partnerships with providers and insurers to expand access. The company differentiates itself by pursuing a first-in-class cell therapy specifically for CKD and focusing on a large, underserved patient population in the United States. Its mission is to transform CKD care by providing a treatment that preserves kidney function and reduces the burden of dialysis for millions of patients.
