On June 5, 2019, Ardelyx, Inc. (the “Company”) updated its progress and projections with respect to its ongoing clinical trials for its lead compound tenapanor, indicating that it currently expects to announce data in the third quarter of 2019 from its Phase 3 AMPLIFY clinical trial evaluating tenapanor as adjunctive therapy with phosphate binders for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in end-stage renal disease, or ESRD, patients on dialysis. This update narrowed the Company’s previous projection that it expected to announce such data in the second half of 2019. The Company reiterated its previously announced projection that it expects to announce data in the fourth quarter of 2019 from its ongoing Phase 3 PHREEDOM clinical trial evaluating tenapanor as monotherapy for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia in ESRD patients on dialysis.
