    • The PRESERVE study plans to enroll approximately 150 patients across approximately 50 sites in the US, with a primary endpoint of complete renal response (CRR) at 6 months.
    • Clinical development of aritinercept, a dual inhibitor of BAFF and APRIL for autoimmune diseases, has been initiated in four potential indications.

    • For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, cash outflows from financing activities were $53.2 million, primarily driven by the repurchase of 5.0 million common shares for $74.9 million.
    • Financing activities were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common shares for equity awards, net of tax withholding payments, of $35.9 million.
    • The company reported a net decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $34.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
    • Forward-looking statements in the release caution that actual outcomes may differ materially due to risks associated with LUPKYNIS sales, clinical study timing, and other uncertainties identified in SEC filings.
