Company Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. Toronto S.E.

Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. is a Canada-based fully integrated biopharmaceutical company. The Company is focused on delivering therapies to treat targeted patient populations with a high unmet medical need that are impacted by autoimmune, kidney and rare diseases. The Company has developed LUPKYNIS (voclosporin), an oral therapy for the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) and continues to conduct pre-clinical, clinical, and regulatory activities to support the voclosporin development program. LUPKYNIS is a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) immunosuppressant, that improves near and long-term outcomes in LN when used in combination with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and steroids. LUPKYNIS reduces cytokine activation and blocks interleukin IL-2 expression and T-cell mediated immune responses. Voclosporin, the active ingredient in LUPKYNIS, is made by a modification of a single amino acid of the cyclosporine molecule. Its product pipeline includes AUR200 and AUR300.
