The timing of the NDA submission is in line with expectations (1Q guidance by the company). If Reata is granted priority review an approval can be expected as early as 4Q 2021 with launch in early 2022, making bardoxolone the first approved drug specifically for the treatment of CKD in Alport Syndrome.
