VOYXACT® is now
FDA approved
VOYXACT is a prescription medicine used to reduce protein in the urine (proteinuria) in adults with a kidney disease called primary immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) who are at risk for their disease getting worse. It is not known if VOYXACT is safe and effective in children.
This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on reduction of proteinuria. It has not been established whether VOYXACT slows kidney function decline over the long-term in patients with IgAN. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory clinical trial.
VOYXACT works by
binding to APRIL
(A PRoliferation-Inducing Ligand)
and blocking its signaling.
Blocking APRIL reduces production
of abnormal IgA antibodies
(Gd-IgA1),
which play a role
in causing IgA nephropathy.
The effect of VOYXACT on proteinuria (protein in urine) was studied in the VISIONARY clinical trial of adults with IgA nephropathy.
- 510 adults with IgA nephropathy participated
- Adults were randomly assigned into 2 groups—about half received an injection of VOYXACT, and about half received a placebo injection (no active medicine)
- At the start of the study, 98% were receiving the maximum tolerated dose of blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors and ARBs)
- 40% of patients were also on blood sugar-lowering medications (SGLT2 inhibitors)
ACE inhibitors=angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
ARBs=angiotensin receptor blockers.
SGLT2 inhibitors=sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors.
uPCR-24h=24-hour urine protein-to-creatinine ratio.
Change in proteinuria at 9 months of treatment (n = 320)
After 9 months, people taking VOYXACT (n = 152) had about 50% less protein in their urine, while people taking placebo or no active medication (n = 168) had 2% more protein in their urine.
The results in this graph are based on an analysis of the first 320 adults in the trial at 9 months. This study is ongoing. These results were consistent across sex, age, race, ethnicity, and geographic region. At the beginning of the trial, participants had a mean uPCR-24h of 1.5 g/g.
uPCR-24h=24-hour urine protein-to-creatinine ratio.
The safety of VOYXACT was evaluated
in the VISIONARY clinical trial of adults
with IgA nephropathy.
Most adverse reactions were
reported as mild or moderate in
severity and resolved without
pausing or stopping treatment.
Ask your nephrologist if VOYXACT
may be right for you.
