Akebia Therapeutics®, Inc. (NASDAQ:AKBA), a biopharmaceutical company with the purpose to better the lives of people impacted by kidney disease, today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion recommending the European Commission (EC) to approve XOANACYL® (Ferric Citrate as Coordination Complex) for the treatment of concomitant elevated serum phosphorous and iron deficiency in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Averoa, a renal-focused biopharmaceutical company, licensed the rights to develop and commercialize ferric citrate from Akebia in the European Economic Area and certain countries in Europe and the Middle East. Averoa recently announced the positive opinion from CHMP here: https://averoa-pharma.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/20250402-AVA1014-Positive-opinion-EN-VF-2.04.2025.pdf.

The EC will review the CHMP recommendation, and a final decision is expected in approximately two months.
