Akebia Therapeutics®, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKBA), a biopharmaceutical company with the purpose to better the lives of people impacted by kidney disease, and U.S. Renal Care (USRC), the nation’s largest privately held and fastest-growing kidney care provider, are pleased to announce today the decision by USRC Kidney Research to stop the Vafseo Outcomes In Center Experience (VOICE) trial following a planned interim analysis.
