Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of individuals affected by kidney disease, primarily through its innovative treatments for anemia in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Akebia is known for its product Vafseo, a once-daily oral treatment for anemia in dialysis patients.
In its latest earnings report for the second quarter of 2025, Akebia Therapeutics highlighted significant growth in its product revenues, driven by the successful U.S. launch of Vafseo. The company reported total net product revenues of $60.5 million, with Vafseo contributing $13.3 million. Akebia also completed patient enrollment for the VOICE clinical trial and initiated the VOCAL trial, both aimed at further evaluating the efficacy of Vafseo.
Key financial metrics from the report include a notable increase in total revenues to $62.5 million, up from $43.6 million in the same quarter of the previous year. This growth was largely attributed to the sales of Vafseo and Auryxia, another product in Akebia’s portfolio. The company also reported a net income of $0.2 million, a significant turnaround from the net loss of $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2024.
Strategically, Akebia is expanding Vafseo’s reach by operationalizing protocols with major dialysis organizations, including DaVita, to increase patient access. The company is also advancing its clinical trials to solidify Vafseo’s position as a standard of care for anemia in CKD patients.
Looking ahead, Akebia remains focused on achieving profitability through the expansion of Vafseo’s label and the advancement of its clinical programs. The management is optimistic about the company’s financial health, supported by a strong cash position of $137.3 million, which they believe will sustain their growth and development plans.
