Kidney Transplantation An Urgent Need to Improve the Outcomes for Patients
Transplanted Kidneys Often Fail Too Soon and the Cycle Begins
The average kidney transplant recipient experiences kidney failure within 10-15 years post-transplant and the cycle begins again.
Too many kidney transplant recipients go through it more than once during their lifetime, transitioning between dialysis and transplantation multiple times depending on their health status, availability of donor organs, and other factors.
This cycle puts a tremendous burden on kidney transplant recipients — physically, emotionally and financially — as well as the broader healthcare system.
Waiting lists for kidney transplants are getting longer, often 4-5 years or more.
The global need for organ transplants is projected to more than double in the next decade.
Too many patients on dialysis die each year waiting for a kidney transplant.

We are advancing tegoprubart, a novel therapeutic in clinical development for patients receiving organ transplants.
Eledon is committed to improving the lives of patients by developing first-in-class/best-in-class treatments for transplantation and neurodegeneration. If you are a patient or healthcare professional interested in learning more about our current and planned clinical trials, please contact: info@eledon.com.

Eledon is striving to both extend the functional life of transplanted organs and reduce side effects of current immunosuppressive treatments such as kidney toxicity, high blood pressure, and tremor.
There has been little innovation for transplantation immunosuppressant therapies in decades. We’re working to change that.
At Eledon, our mission is One Transplant for Life.
