What ProKidney Said About Rilparencel

Prokidney is a late clinical-stage biotechnology company developing rilparencel, a first-in-class autologous cell therapy intended to preserve kidney function in advanced CKD patients with type 2 diabetes. The therapy is in Phase 3 trials, with pivotal results expected in Q2 2027.

"At ProKidney, our mission is to transform the outlook for people with advanced chronic kidney disease by extending life without dialysis," he said. He said the discussion would focus on the science supporting the company's work and rilparencel's potential role.

Ethan Holdaway, vice president of strategic finance and investor relations, introduced the webcast as an American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week recap and corporate update. Holdaway said a replay would be made available on the ProKidney website after the event. Joining Culleton and Conway was Katherine Tuttle, executive director for research at Providence Inland Northwest Health and professor of medicine at the University of Washington.
