Re: ABT/Reata

Bardoxolone is an oral, first-in-class antioxidant inflammation modulator that works by increasing the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of the kidneys. In two Phase 2 clinical trials, bardoxolone significantly improved kidney function in patients with advanced CKD and Type 2 diabetes. CKD currently affects more than 50 million adults worldwide, and the number of patients is rapidly increasing throughout the world.

Are there any publicly traded small-cap biotechs working on drugs that increase eGFR?
