Presentation evaluates the long-term impact of XPHOZAH® on serum electrolytes and select nutrition biomarkers WALTHAM, Mass., April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ardelyx, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARDX), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative medicines that meet significant unmet medical needs, today announced an abstract accepted for poster presentation, sharing data on the long-term impact of XPHOZAH® (tenapanor) on serum electrolytes and select nutrition biomarkers, at the National Kidney Foundation’s (NKF) Spring Clinical Meetings, to be held May 7-10, 2026, in New Orleans. XPHOZAH, the first and only phosphate absorption inhibitor (PAI), is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reduce serum phosphorus in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on dialysis as add-on therapy in patients who have an inadequate response to phosphate binders or who are intolerant of any dose of phosphate binder therapy. XPHOZAH offers a different mechanism of action that blocks phosphate absorption at the primary pathway and is administered as a single tablet taken twice daily.

Tenapanor Decreases Serum Phosphate Without Altering Other Serum Electrolytes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease with Hyperphosphatemia on DialysisAuthors: Pablo E. Pergola, Yang Yang, Suling Zhao, Elizabeth Stremke, Susan Edelstein, David M. SpiegelPoster: G-353Display time: May 7, 2026, 5:15 - 7:30 PM CT In addition to the poster presentation during NKF Spring Clinical Meetings, Ardelyx is sponsoring a Peer Exchange, titled “Treating Hyperphosphatemia and Side Effect Management,” on May 8 at 12:15 PM CT, where Lisa Gutekunst, MSEd, RD, CSR, CDN, will facilitate a peer exchange session discussing first-in-class PAI XPHOZAH. The session will review the XPHOZAH mechanism of action, efficacy and safety data, and practical considerations for XPHOZAH as add-on therapy for the many dialysis patients on a phosphate binder with serum phosphorus levels above guideline-established targets. About XPHOZAH® (tenapanor)XPHOZAH, discovered and developed by Ardelyx, is a first-in-class, phosphate absorption inhibitor with a differentiated mechanism of action that acts locally in the gut to inhibit the sodium hydrogen exchanger 3 (N...
