Ardelyx, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARDX) is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative, first-in-class medicines that address significant unmet medical needs. The company's mission is to enhance the treatment of renal and gastrointestinal diseases through its proprietary drug discovery and design platform.
One of Ardelyx's lead products is tenapanor, which has been developed to reduce the absorption of dietary sodium and phosphorus. It is being investigated for multiple conditions, including hyperphosphatemia in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis and irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). The company has made significant strides in these areas, recently gaining FDA approval for tenapanor under the brand names IBSRELA® and XPHOZAH®. IBSRELA is targeted at treating IBS-C, while XPHOZAH is aimed at controlling serum phosphorus levels in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.
Ardelyx has also forged strategic partnerships to extend the reach of its therapies globally. This includes collaborations with Kyowa Kirin in Japan, Fosun Pharma in China, and Knight Therapeutics in Canada.

The company anticipates even higher sales in 2024, projecting revenues between $140 million and $150 million. Additionally, XPHOZAH, which launched in November 2023, recorded $2.5 million in net product sales revenue in its first quarter. To support these products, Ardelyx is investing in expanding its sales team and digital capabilities, as well as enhancing its patient services through the ArdelyxAssist™ program.
