Ardelyx has agreed to license its phosphate transport NaP2b inhibitor program to Sanofi for an undisclosed up-front sum. The deal includes development and regulatory milestones that could be worth $198 million. The inhibition of NaP2b should be useful for treating hyperphosphatemia, or elevated serum phosphate, in patients with chronic kidney disease, according to Ardelyx.
