Vadadustat PDUFA Passed?

The vadadustat PDUFA date was on March 29, 2022; however, no press releases have been observed by Otsuka/Akebia nor has anything been posted on Drugs@fda.

Presumably, the companies will have to issue a press release once they officially hear from FDA. Below, FENIX provides brief thoughts on the missed PDUFA date.
