Earlier this week we shared the news that the first patient has been dosed in #KOURAGE, our Phase 2 trial evaluating Auxora for the treatment of severe acute kidney injury with associated acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). There are currently no approved therapies for AKI and we look forward to continuing to evaluate Auxora as a potential treatment for this severe and underserved disease.
