Acute Kidney Injury Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Acute Kidney Injury Overview
AKI is commonly defined as an abrupt decline in renal function, clinically manifesting as a reversible acute increase in nitrogen waste products measured by blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels over the course of hours to weeks. Signs and symptoms of AKI includes, nausea, vomiting, weakness, dizziness and, pain in lower back. Some patients are asymptomatic (no noticeable symptoms) and others may have generalized non-specific (not specific to kidneys) symptoms.
Acute Kidney Injury Diagnosis
The diagnosis of AKI is traditionally based on a rise in serum creatinine and/or fall in urine output. The laboratory assessment includes the measurement of Serum Creatinine Level, Urinalysis, renal biopsy and others.
Acute Kidney Injury Treatment
The treatment for AKI depends on the cause of the condition. Most people need to stay in the hospital during treatment and until the recovery of the kidneys. Some possible treatments include temporary hemodialysis, medicines to control the amounts of vitamins and minerals in blood, treatments to keep the right amount of fluid in the blood. There is no approved treatment for AKI, the current treatment practices use conventional therapies (vasopressor, diuretics, statins and others) and renal replacement therapies.

AKI Drug Chapters
Drug chapter segment of the AKI report encloses the detailed analysis of AKI emerging (Phase-III and Phase II and Phase I/II) pipeline drugs. It also helps to understand the AKI clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, approval and patent details, advantages and disadvantages of each included drug and the latest news and press releases.
Emerging Drugs
SB-101: Sentien Biotechnologies
SBI-101 is a combination product that integrates allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) within an extracorporeal, blood-contacting device. MSCs are a unique source of therapeutic secreted factors that modulate the immune-mediated inflammatory response to acute organ injury. In September 2021, Sentien Biotechnologies partnered with Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to evaluate high dose cohort in Phase I/II trial of SBI-101 for treatment of AKI associated with sepsis.
RMC-035 (ROSgard): Guard Therapeutics
RMC-035 is a biological drug candidate (recombinant protein) administered to patients by IV infusion. In the future, it can be used as an in-hospital product for short-term treatment, for example, in connection with heart surgery and kidney transplantation. In April 2022, Guard Therapeutics announced that the Phase II study is called AKITA and is expected to provide blinded interim results by the first quarter of 2023 at topline results during the latter part of 2023.
OCE-205: Ocelot Bio
OCE-205’s innovation emanates from its design as a mixed agonist-antagonist peptide selective for the Vasopressin 1a (V1a) receptor with no vasopressin 2 (V2) receptor activity at drug concentrations achieved while treating ESLD. In August 2022, the company announced that the US FDA has granted ODD to its lead candidate OCE-205 for the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome.
RBT-1: Renibus Therapeutics
Renibus’ lead product, RBT-1, is a novel pharmacologic intervention combining stannous protoporphyrin and iron sucrose, induces a preconditioning protective effect on the kidney and other organs, upregulating the production of protective proteins to prevent post-operative complications following cardiothoracic surgery, including AKI, days in the ICU, time on ventilator, and hospital readmission rates. Recently, the company announced that an end of Phase II meeting with the FDA would take place in Q3 2022, and Renibus is planning to start a Phase III registration study by Q4 2022.
Note: Detailed emerging therapies assessment will be provided in the final report.

AKI Market Outlook
AKI pipeline with a novel mechanism of action and increasing incidence are major market drivers of AKI market. Additionally, the AKI pipeline is also expected to change the current dynamics of the market, which presently comprises biologics and molecules with new mechanisms of action.
Currently, there are no targeted pharmacotherapies approved for the treatment of AKI. At present, the therapeutic market size of AKI is mainly dominated by the use of Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) and off-label drugs, which include various classes such as ACE inhibitors, Angiotensin II-Receptor Blockers (ARBs), Diuretics, and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs).
Some patients develop stage 3 AKI and require Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT), and it is indicated for refractory hyperkalemia, volume overload, intractable acidosis, uremic encephalopathy, pericarditis or pleuritis, and removal of certain toxins.
The AKI pipeline possessed multiple potential drugs in late- and mid-stage developments to be launched shortly. Key players involved in robust research and development include SB-101: Sentien Biotechnologies, RMC-035 (ROSgard): Guard Therapeutics, OCE-205: Ocelot Bio, RBT-1: Renibus Therapeutics, and others are some of the major players that are going to alter the market dynamics in the coming years.

Analyst Commentary

  • The pipeline of AKI has diverse products targeting prophylaxis of AKI in several complications such as Sepsis, pre and post cardiac-surgery, and HRS-AKI
  • Several biomarkers such as NGAL, Cystatin-C, etc. are being tried and tested to diagnose AKI. Validation of these new biomarkers could provide additional tools to detect the onset and severity of kidney injury
  • Ocelot Bio’s lead asset is OCE-205, is the only drug targeting the patients of Cirrhosis with Ascites, who developed Hepatorenal Syndrome-Acute Kidney Injury
  • reCAP is the only drug in Phase III which is targeting AKI due to sepsis, once it is approved, it might capture a sizable market share because sepsis-AKI has a huge patient pool
  • Currently Exponential Biotherapies is conducting Phase II trial for EA-230 only in Netherlands based on this we have assumed that the drug will launch first in the EU-5 followed by the US and Japan
