P4A are joined by Xortx Therapeutics' CEO, Dr Allen Davidoff, as he discusses the commercial plans for their novel therapy XRX-008 to treat patients with Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD).
Allen discusses the company vision for developing novel therapies for rare progressive kidney disorders, and tells us about the launch journey for their main therapeutic candidate for AKPKD. How they managed to complete enrolment for late phase study in record time by engaging with patients and advocacy groups early, to really understand the patient journey and how the disease affects their quality of life. This helped to shape the clinical trial design by truly putting the patients at the forefront of all decisions and to ensure they were involved at all stages of the process, to be as burdensome as possible. This helps to ensure; 1, you find the right patients quickly 2, aids swift recruitment & retention rates are high 3. faster time to the market.
