Akebia also provided an update on the Vadadustat development program yesterday morning including an expansion of the ongoing phase 2 For2ward and phase 3 Trilo2gy trials in collaboration with Otsuka (TYO:4578, Non rated). While this will delay the timeline for topline data in both programs, we see it as a positive overall as the company will now incorporate additional relevant endpoints with a greater number of patients for better positioning in commercialization.
