CSL Vifor and Travere Therapeutics announce standard EU approval for FILSPARI® in IgA Nephropathy

European Commission converts conditional approval of FILSPARI (sparsentan)  into standard marketing authorization for the treatment of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN)

Decision follows positive recommendation from Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) from February 2025

EU approval is based on the complete data set from the phase-III PROTECT study

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland and SAN DIEGO, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CSL Vifor and Travere Therapeutics, Inc., (NASDAQ: TVTX) are pleased to announce that the European Commission has approved the conversion of the conditional marketing approval (CMA) into a standard marketing authorization (MA) for FILSPARI for the treatment of adults with primary IgA nephropathy with a urine protein excretion ≥1.0 g/day (or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio ≥0.75 g/g). Standard MA is granted for all member states of the European Union, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.

“The decision by the European Commission is an important advancement for people living with IgAN in the EU”, said Dr. Vinicius Gomes De Lima, Head of Global Medical Affairs at CSL Vifor. “The standard approval, granted without changes to the indication, underscores the value of our clinical data, the dedication of our teams, and our ongoing commitment to deliver on our promise for patients. We look forward to continuing working closely with healthcare professionals, patient communities, and regulatory bodies to ensure access to FILSPARI across Europe.”

The European Commission’s standard approval of FILSPARI is a meaningful step forward for people living with IgA nephropathy across Europe,” said Dr. Jula Inrig, Chief Medical Officer at Travere Therapeutics.  “This decision not only validates the strength of the phase-III PROTECT study results but also reinforces our deep commitment to this rare kidney disease community. We remain dedicated to working with our partners, regulators, and healthcare providers to expand access and improve outcomes for those affected by IgAN.”

The European Commission’s decision follows CHMP’s recommendation to convert the CMA to standard MA from February 2025. The approval is based on a comprehensive clinical data set, including positive confirmatory results from the pivotal phase-III PROTECT study demonstrating that FILSPARI significantly slowed kidney function decline over two years compared to irbesartan.

FILSPARI is the only Dual Endothelin Angiotensin Receptor Antagonist (DEARA), a non-immunosuppressive therapy for the treatment of IgAN approved in Europe and is currently available in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, following the European Commission’s conditional marketing authorization in April 2024

About IgA Nephropathy (IgAN)

IgAN, also called Berger’s disease, is a rare progressive kidney disease characterized by the buildup of immunoglobulin A (IgA), a protein that helps the body fight infections, in the kidneys. The deposits of IgA cause a breakdown of the normal filtering mechanisms in the kidney, leading to blood in the urine (hematuria), protein in the urine (proteinuria) and a progressive loss of kidney function. Other symptoms of IgAN may include swelling (edema) and high blood pressure.

While rare, IgAN is the most common type of primary glomerular disease worldwide and a leading cause of kidney failure. IgAN is estimated to affect up to 250,000 people in the licensed territories (Europe, Australia and New Zealand).

About the PROTECT study

The PROTECT Study is one of the largest interventional studies to date in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and the only head-to-head vs. comparator trial in this rare kidney disease. It is a global, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-arm, active-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of 400 mg of sparsentan, compared to 300 mg of irbesartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker(ARB)), in 404 patients ages 18 years and up with IgA nephropathy and persistent proteinuria despite receiving at least 50% of maximum label dose and maximally tolerated angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or ARB therapy.

The PROTECT study met its primary endpoint at the pre-specified interim analysis with statistical significance. After 36 weeks of treatment, patients receiving FILSPARI achieved a mean reduction in proteinuria from baseline of 49.8 percent, compared to a mean reduction in proteinuria from baseline of 15.1 percent for irbesartan-treated patients. The two-year confirmatory results from the study showed treatment with FILSPARI achieved statistical significance on the eGFR chronic slope endpoint versus irbesartan and demonstrated clinically meaningful kidney function preservation. eGFR is a blood test that measure how well kidneys filter waste products from blood. Treatment emergent adverse events were well-balanced between sparsentan and irbesartan, except for dizziness and hypotension.

About FILSPARI (sparsentan)

FILSPARI is an innovative, non-immunosuppressive, single-molecule, dual endothelin angiotensin receptor antagonist with high selectivity for the endothelin A receptor (ETAR) and the angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor (AT1R). 

FILSPARI was developed by Travere Therapeutics and has been granted Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of IgA nephropathy in the UK, Europe and the U.S. FILSPARI is currently available in the U.S. and first markets in Europe. CSL Vifor has been granted exclusive commercialization rights for FILSPARI in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

Volvo Cars reports Q1 2025 results, launches SEK 18 billion cost and cash action plan

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ —

  • Q1 revenue was SEK 82.9 bn (SEK 93.9 bn in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 operating income (excl. JVs and associates) was SEK 1.9 bn (SEK 6.8 bn in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 operating income was SEK 1.9 bn (SEK 4.7 bn in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 EBIT margin (excl. JVs and associates) was 2.3 per cent (7.2 per cent in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 EBIT margin was 2.3 per cent (5.0 per cent in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 basic earnings per share was 0.40 SEK (1.12 SEK in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 fully electric car sales share at 19 per cent (21 per cent in Q1 2024)
  • Q1 electrified car sales share at 43 per cent (41 per cent in Q1 2024)

Volvo Cars today reports a group operating income (EBIT) of SEK 1.9 billion for the first quarter of 2025, following a drop in wholesales as part of a planned inventory reduction during Q4 last year, as well as adverse currency effects. The result also reflects the current turbulence in the world and a challenging external environment for the automotive industry.

To protect profitability and drive structural efficiencies on direct and indirect costs, as well as helping to offset external headwinds, the company has launched an accelerated cost and cash action plan totalling SEK 18 billion. The majority of the effects from this plan will be realised in 2026.

The plan includes SEK 3 billion in variable cost actions and SEK 5 billion in indirect spend efficiencies, half of which will impact EBIT already in 2026. Furthermore, SEK 10 billion will be added in additional cash actions to reduce working capital and capital expenditures during 2025 and 2026.

The reductions in investments are in addition to the already planned lower investments going forward, as previously communicated. As part of the action plan, there will be redundancies at its operations around the globe, but the company will come back with more details as soon as possible.

“The automotive industry is in the middle of a very difficult period with challenges not seen before,” said Håkan Samuelsson, Volvo Cars CEO. “Over the last few weeks, I have worked with the management team and other colleagues on a plan to make the company stronger and more resilient. While our strategy is clear, we must get better at delivering results. Given the turbulence in the market, we need to further improve our cash flow generation and lower our costs. While we still have a lot to do, our direction going forward is focused on three areas: profitability, electrification and regionalisation.”

Volvo Cars remains firm on its ambition of becoming a fully electric car company. Fully electric is the fastest growing market segment and Volvo Cars is a leader in this transition. 43 per cent of all the Volvo cars sold in the first quarter were electrified, meaning fully electric or plug-in hybrid, with almost a fifth of sales fully electric. During the first quarter, Volvo Cars also launched its next fully electric software-defined car, the ES90.

As Volvo Cars accelerates towards full electrification, its premium plug-in hybrids provide a pragmatic bridge for customers not yet ready to switch.

Volvo Cars also sees a need to adapt to a more regionalised world. This includes a more focused approach for each region in terms of product, technology, manufacturing and commercial. The company will empower its regions to better meet the needs of its customers, ensuring it is resilient and fit for growth.

The company will start by focusing on the US and China markets, as priorities. In China, it will adapt faster to the fast-changing auto sector and customer demands, and the company is looking into giving larger operational responsibility to the market. Volvo Cars will soon reveal its first extended range plug-in hybrid in China – a good example of its ability to tailor products to different demands in different markets.

Volvo Cars is also undertaking a strategic restructuring of its operations in the US and has created a new region, called Americas. This region includes the US, Canada and the Latin America markets and will be led by Luis Rezende.  At the same time, Mike Cottone will leave Volvo Cars and the company wishes to thank him for his almost 20 years of service. The restructuring further simplifies the company’s global operations into three streamlined regions: Americas, Greater China, and Europe & Rest of the World.

In the US, the company will sharpen the product line-up it needs for growth and how it can better use its existing manufacturing footprint there in the coming years – producing more cars where they are sold. Earlier this month, Volvo Cars started production of the important EX30 at its Ghent factory in Belgium.

Q1 results breakdown

The current turbulence in the broader world economy is reflected in the company’s financial results for the first quarter. In terms of retail sales, the company sold 172,219 cars in the first quarter, a drop of 6 per cent compared to the same period in 2024.

The result was also affected by currency effects and a 19 per cent drop in wholesale volumes after Volvo Cars lowered its inventories in Q4 last year. Revenues fell by 12 per cent to SEK 82.9 billion. The core EBIT of SEK 1.9 billion translated into a core operating profit margin of 2.3 per cent.

At the same time, despite the drop in wholesales, the company improved its free cash flow, supported by improvements in working capital as well as the sale of its stake in Lynk & Co. Volvo Cars also continued its path towards electrification and its fully electric sales share of 19 per cent in Q1 remained the highest among its premium legacy competitors.

More details on the first quarter performance can be found in Volvo Cars’ full financial report: Results Centre | Volvo Cars

Looking ahead

2025 will be a challenging and transition year given the uncertainties around macroeconomic, geopolitical and market developments. As Volvo Cars enters into the year, it sees that tougher market conditions and lower volumes combined with increased price pressure and tariff effects are impacting profitability.

The company’s long-term strategy, foundations for growth and path to improved profitability remain, and the accelerated cost and cash action plan has also been launched in order to further protect those elements. But given external developments and increased uncertainties, Volvo Cars is no longer providing financial guidance for 2025 and 2026.

In recent years, Volvo Cars has made strong progress in electrification and it was one of the fastest growing premium car companies in the world. The company aims to continue in that direction with the right cars, a competitive cost base and increased resilience, and will continue to build a stronger, more efficient and more valuable Volvo Cars.

Shaping Payments of Tomorrow: From AI to Real-Time Payments

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The payments landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by rapid advancements in technology and evolving consumer preferences. Here are four key trends that we believe will shape the future of payments.

Previn Pillay, Country Manager for Visa Malaysia
Previn Pillay, Country Manager for Visa Malaysia

Trend 1: Leveraging AI against fraud

AI will play a crucial role in personalising payment experiences and enhancing fraud detection capabilities. Deep learning algorithms will become more sophisticated in analysing transaction patterns and identifying potential risks in real-time.

Visa has been at the centre of AI in payments and invested $3.3 billion in our AI and data infrastructure over the last decade. This year, we introduced three new AI-powered risk and fraud prevention solutions, as part of the Visa Protect suite, that are designed to reduce fraud across immediate Account to Account (A2A) and card-not-present (CNP) payments, for transactions on and off Visa’s network. There is immense potential in the next generation of AI to help transform the payments experience, making it more secure and intuitive.

Trend 2: Digital identity simplifies authentication  

For years, passwords, security questions, even card numbers have served as stand-ins for individuals, and fraudsters have taken advantage of this fact. In the future, authentication will rely on highly secure credentials, namely one’s face, fingerprints, or other biometrics.

Visa has introduced solutions such as Click to Pay and Visa Payment Passkey to reduce reliance on traditional PINs and passwords and elevate the payment checkout experience. Visa Click to Pay eliminates clunky checkout processes and reduces the number of steps consumers require to pay for their online purchases.

Visa Payment Passkey requires consumers to do a one-time set-up to bind their devices and authenticate them at participating merchants, removing friction from the online checkout process.

Moving forward, centering biometric markers in payments authentication, in line with the best data privacy, cybersecurity, and AI governance practices will help make the checkout process more convenient and secure, benefiting both consumers and businesses.

Trend 3: Cross-border payments travel fast 

Cross-border money movement has historically been B2B-focused and primarily handled by traditional banks. Cross border payments transcend beyond B2B payments and include peer-to-peer payments or business to consumer payments.

Remittances is a significant part of cross-border payments. Visa’s data also shows new use cases for cross-border payments including payout to creators and digital wallet top-ups. As globalisation and global trade evolve, there is a huge demand for faster and more efficient cross border payment solutions to support the needs of consumers and businesses.

Visa Direct can power real-time and interoperable cross border transactions securely and efficiently, supporting more than 7 billion endpoints, including cards, accounts and digital wallets. Our key focus is building new partnerships and expanding our endpoints.

Trend 4: Real-time payments gain momentum

Real-time payments are growing rapidly across the world and are projected to reach $58 trillion by 2028 globally. The important task for regulators, policymakers and the broader payments ecosystem is to balance innovation with safeguards, protect against the risks associated with the instant and irreversible nature of RTP payments. Keeping consumers’ interests at heart, Visa has rolled out solutions such as Visa Protect for A2A Payments to help mitigate fraud on RTP networks and identify potential instances of fraud.

Interoperability is also key to facilitating trade and global growth, and we see governments working closely with the private sector to address some of the key pain points and gaps.

As we look to the future, these new trends will no doubt impact the way consumers and businesses pay and be paid, making it more seamless and secure for everyone, everywhere.
