Cantor Fitzgerald also maintained an Overweight rating on Travere, emphasizing the potential market uptake of FILSPARI for FSGS. The company anticipates that the FDA will decide on the acceptance of the sNDA for review in the second quarter of 2025. Travere’s Filspari continues to drive sales growth, with significant year-over-year increases, and the company is preparing for new product launches.

These developments reflect Travere’s strategic focus on expanding its presence in the nephrology market.
