Conference Call Information
About Triferic
Triferic is a unique iron compound that is delivered to hemodialysis patients via dialysate, replacing approximately 5-7 mg of iron during their dialysis treatment. Triferic is introduced into bicarbonate concentrate, on-site at the dialysis clinic, which is subsequently mixed into dialysate. Once in the dialysate, Triferic crosses the dialyzer membrane and enters the blood where it immediately binds to transferrin and is taken to the bone marrow, similar to how dietary iron binds in the body. In completed clinical trials to date, Triferic has demonstrated that it may safely and effectively deliver sufficient iron to the bone marrow, maintain hemoglobin and not increase iron stores (ferritin), while significantly reducing ESA dose.
