New Launch of Evrenzo®, time to rethink CKD Anemia Treatment for dialysis dependent (DD) and non-dialysis dependent (NDD) CKD Patients

• Evrenzo® targets the HIF pathway which promotes endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) production and improves iron absorption and mobilization, resulting in a coordinated erythropoietic response.1

• Evrenzo® is an oral therapy, offering an alternative to the traditional ESA injection.2

• Evrenzo® achieves a high Hb target (Hb ≥110 g/L) attainment rate with clinical data showing up to 84% of NDD patients reaching their Hb targets after 26 weeks of treatment, and up to 88% of DD patients achieving their Hb targets after 24 weeks of treatment.6, 7

• Evrenzo® can reduce the need for IV iron.3, 4

• Evrenzo® has a comparable safety profile vs. current Standard of Care.5, 8
