About Us:

Vera Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VERA), is a late-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments for serious immunological diseases. Vera’s mission is to advance treatments that target the source of immunologic diseases in order to change the standard of care for patients. Vera’s lead product candidate is atacicept, a fully humanized fusion protein self-administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly that blocks both B -cell activating factor (BAFF) and a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL), which stimulate B cells and plasma cells to produce galactose deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and associated auto-antibodies which together form immune complexes which are fundamental in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). In addition, Vera is also considering evaluating the role of atacicept in other immunologic disorders. Additionally, Vera is developing MAU868, a monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize infection with BK Virus, a polyomavirus that can have devastating consequences in certain settings such as kidney transplant.
