Develops cell therapy for chronic kidney disease
Senior
Winston-Salem, NC, USA
ProKidney focuses on treating Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) through a novel cell therapy called rilparencel. This therapy aims to preserve kidney function in patients with advanced CKD, potentially delaying or eliminating the need for dialysis, which many patients currently rely on. ProKidney is in the late stages of clinical trials for rilparencel, with early data indicating its effectiveness in maintaining kidney function. Unlike other treatments, ProKidney specifically targets CKD, a condition affecting over 35 million adults in the U.S., and aims to fill a significant gap in available therapies. The company's goal is to provide a groundbreaking treatment that improves the quality of life for CKD patients and reduces their reliance on dialysis.
