Full Year 2025 Total Revenue and Net Product Sales Guidance
For 2025, Aurinia is increasing total revenue guidance from a range of $250 million to $260 million to a range of $260 million to $270 million and net product sales guidance from a range of $240 million to $250 million to a range of $250 million to $260 million.
“We continue to see solid growth for LUPKYNIS, partially driven by the new 2024 American College of Rheumatology lupus nephritis treatment guidelines, which recommend the incorporation of drugs like LUPKYNIS into first-line therapy in order to preserve kidney function,” stated Peter Greenleaf, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aurinia. “Additionally, we are excited about the positive results from our Phase 1 study of aritinercept, a dual inhibitor of B cell-activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL). Aritinercept was well tolerated at all dose levels tested and single doses led to robust and long-lasting reductions in immunoglobulins (antibodies). We look forward to initiating clinical studies in at least two autoimmune diseases in the second half of this year.”
