Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc. Research Report

On November 8, 2013, Keryx Biopharmaceuticals Inc.

The Company stated that the data demonstrated Zerenex's ability to significantly reduce the need for IV iron and ESAs, while maintaining hemoglobin in dialysis patients. Ron Bentsur, the Company's CEO, commented, "While preliminary, I believe that the data from this OLE study to date reinforces the data observed in the long-term Phase 3 study. Importantly, it is encouraging to see that Zerenex appears to be safe and well tolerated for up to two years of cumulative exposure in clinical studies."
