(NASDAQ:AUPH / TSX:AUP) (“Aurinia” or the “Company”) , a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on advancing voclosporin across multiple inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, today announced new initiatives to support the lupus nephritis (LN) community and raise disease awareness on World Kidney Day, during National Kidney Month and beyond. These initiatives and resources include:\n\n\n\n#ALLINorange: Through the ALL IN program, Aurinia is once again partnering with the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) on its #ALLINorange campaign throughout the month of March to raise awareness and understanding of LN. The ALL IN program is a source of information, resources, and support for those affected by LN and their care partners. ALL IN community members and those who newly register in March will receive #ALLINorange disease awareness bracelets to show support for National Kidney Month and the LN community. More information is available at www.allinforln.com.\n\n\nALL IN Lupus Nephritis Awareness Resource Kit: Aurinia also launched today a new resource kit for people living with LN and their care partners. The kit was created with input from members of the LN community to help expand awareness and knowledge of lupus nephritis. The resource kit is available at www.allinforln.com/awarenesskit.\n\n\n\nThere is currently no FDA-approved therapy for LN, which is inflammation of the kidneys caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and represents a serious progression of SLE. LN affects up to 50% of the SLE patient population.\n\n\n“Observances such as National Kidney Month and World Kidney Day are a reminder that people living with lupus nephritis are affected by the severe symptoms and complications associated with this disease each and every day. We are honored to work together with the community to advance understanding of this serious disease,” said Neil Solomons, M.D. Chief Medical Officer at Aurinia. “The ALL IN program is a source of information, resources, and support for those affected by LN, and we are committed to continuing to build on materials and initiatives that benefit the community.”\n\n\nMore information about LN is available at www.allinforln.com.
