TVTX Stock Falls as FDA Extends Review Timeline for Filspari sNDA
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
TVTX shares fell after the FDA extended the Filspari sNDA review for FSGS by three months.
The delay followed an amendment request, with no new safety or manufacturing data required by FDA.
Filspari could become the first FDA-approved FSGS therapy, with Travere Therapeutics continuing launch prep.
Shares of Travere Therapeutics (TVTX - Free Report) were down 14.6% on Tuesday after the company announced that the FDA had extended the review timeline for the supplemental new drug application (sNDA) seeking label expansion for its marketed drug, Filspari (sparsentan), in the focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) indication by an additional three months.
A final decision from the regulatory body is now expected on April 13, 2026.
The extension comes after the company submitted additional information requested by the FDA to better define the clinical benefit of Filspari. The FDA classified these submissions as a major amendment to the sNDA and therefore extended the review timeline from Jan. 13, 2026, to April 13, 2026. The regulatory body, however, did not request any new safety or manufacturing data for Filspari.
Filspari is currently approved to slow kidney function decline in adults with primary IgA nephropathy who are at risk of disease progression.
TVTX’s Price Performance
In the past six months, shares of Travere Therapeutics have surged 72.1% compared with the industry’s increase of 20.4%.

More on the FDA Review Extension for TVTX’s Filspari sNDA
FSGS is a rare kidney disorder affecting more than 40,000 patients in the United States and a comparable number in the European Union. The disease is marked by progressive kidney scarring and proteinuria (protein in the urine), where leaked protein damages kidney structures and drives disease progression. Patients often experience edema, low blood albumin, abnormal lipid levels and hypertension, with many ultimately progressing to kidney failure. Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments for FSGS.
A potential FDA nod to Filspari in FSGS will make the drug the first medication to be indicated for the given indication. The drug is an oral, non-immunosuppressive potential therapy designed to address podocyte injury, a critical factor in the progression of FSGS.
If Filspari is approved for FSGS indication, Travere Therapeutics will be well-positioned for a successful commercial launch.
TVTX Post Preliminary Revenues for 2025
Earlier this week, Travere Therapeutics reported preliminary sales numbers for the fourth quarter and full-year 2025. The company expects total net product sales of about $127 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 and approximately $410 million for full-year 2025 in the United States.
Preliminary U.S. net product sales of Filspari were around $103 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting an increase of 108% year over year. For full-year 2025, preliminary U.S. net product sales of Filspari were approximately $322 million.
In October 2025, the company received a $40 million milestone payment from its partner, CSL Vifor, after achieving market access milestones. CSL Vifor has launched Filspari in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the United Kingdom, and Travere Therapeutics is entitled to receive further milestone payments tied to additional market access and sales.
Travere Therapeutics plans to continue building clinical evidence to support Filspari as a foundational treatment for IgAN through ongoing clinical studies. Also, the potential label expansion for Filspari in the FSGS indication is likely to aid sales further in 2026.
