Anzor Pharmaceuticals is poised to share critical research on chronic kidney disease (CKD) at the upcoming 7th Annual Chronic Kidney Disease Conference in Boston, Massachusetts. CEO Christopher P. Adams will present findings on fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and its potential therapeutic applications.
The presentation comes at a crucial time, as CKD currently impacts more than 10 million Americans, contributing to significant health challenges and mortality rates. The research focuses on innovative approaches to addressing the complex interactions between kidney function, cardiovascular disease, and FGF23.
Through extensive animal model studies, researchers discovered that an FGF peptide ligand could significantly enhance kidney function. Of particular importance is the connection between cardiovascular disease—the primary cause of death in CKD patients—and elevated FGF23 levels.
Experimental studies across three murine models revealed that high endogenous FGF23 is not merely a biological marker but potentially plays a pathogenic role in both chronic kidney disease and cardiomyopathy. By blocking FGF23 signaling using a natural proteolytic product, researchers observed improvements in kidney and cardiac histology.
These findings represent a significant step forward in understanding potential therapeutic interventions for chronic kidney disease. The research suggests that targeted FGF-based therapies could offer new hope for patients struggling with this complex medical condition.
Anzor Pharmaceuticals continues to explore the broad applications of fibroblast growth factor therapies, with ongoing research targeting critical health issues in areas including obesity, chronic kidney disease, and skeletal disorders.
