Our Approach
Developing
breakthrough
products.
We have an emerging pipeline of programs to prevent disease progression, improve outcomes and protect against organ damage in cardio, renal and metabolic diseases.

RBT-1 (stannic protoporfin / iron sucrose)
Renibus’ second late-stage program RBT-1, recently completed the PROTECT Phase 3 trial in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The results suggest that further development in higher-risk patients may be warranted, which is currently being evaluated.
Veverimer
Veverimer is a non-absorbed polymer that binds hydrochloric acid (HCl) in the stomach and is designed to increase serum bicarbonate concentrations without the addition of sodium or potassium. Veverimer is in Phase 3 development for the treatment of adults with chronic kidney disease and metabolic acidosis.
