flag Tegoprubart, a new kidney transplant drug, showed similar kidney function to tacrolimus with fewer side effects, prompting advancement to Phase 3 trials.

flag Eledon Pharmaceuticals reported positive Phase 2 BESTOW trial results for tegoprubart, a new immunosuppressant, at Kidney Week 2025. flag In 127 kidney transplant patients, tegoprubart showed comparable kidney function—average 12-month eGFR of 69 mL/min/1.73 m²—while significantly reducing side effects like new-onset diabetes, tremor, hypertension, and heart failure compared to tacrolimus. flag It also lowered delayed graft function and dialysis duration, with similar infection and serious adverse event rates, and no cases of PTLD or PML. flag Though acute rejection was slightly higher, kidney function remained better in those staying on tegoprubart. flag Results support advancing tegoprubart to Phase 3 trials as a safer alternative to current standard therapy.
