Vera Therapeutics, Inc.

On #ClinicalTrialsDay, we celebrate the people who make medical progress possible. At Vera Therapeutics, it’s a day that’s personal to everyone on our team. Thank you to the people living with #IgAN who have trusted us with their time, their health, and their hope. Choosing to participate in a #clinicaltrial is an act of profound generosity. It takes courage to raise your hand for something that may not benefit you directly, but that could change everything for the patients who come after you. Thank you to the care partners who show up to every appointment, ask the hard questions, and carry so much alongside their loved ones. Thank you to the clinical site teams, the coordinators, nurses, and investigators, who bring both rigorous science and genuine humanity to this work every single day. You are the reason trials run, and why patients feel seen. We are grateful. And we are working every day to be worthy of the trust you’ve placed in us.

As #IgANAwarenessDay approaches, we’re reflecting on the urgent need for greater awareness, research, and innovation for people living with IgA nephropathy (#IgAN). IgAN is a serious, progressive kidney disease that can have a profound impact on patients, families, and care partners. At Vera, this day holds special meaning. It reinforces why we do this work, and why advancing new possibilities for people affected by IgAN matters so deeply. We’re proud to partner with The IgA Nephropathy Foundation to help elevate awareness and support the IgAN community.

Introducing IgANime: Where Manga Meets the #IgAN Journey! This is a creative, interactive experience that invites people to engage with the #IgAnephropathy (IgAN) community in a new way and we're proud to launch it on #IgANAwarenessDay. At Vera, patients are at the center of everything we do. We believe learning from the lived experiences of the IgAN community is essential to advancing understanding and helping drive innovation in IgAN. #IgANime uses manga to reflect themes of resilience, identity, hope, community, and personal agency. Visitors can create a custom anime character, discover patient stories, and learn more about IgAN through an experience designed to spark curiosity, build understanding, and honor the voices of patients. Visit iganime.com today to create your character!

Ten years ago, our founders set out with a clear belief: patients with #IgAnephropathy (#IgAN) need better options. That belief — grounded in urgency, empathy, and purpose — became the foundation for Vera. Today, we’re proud to celebrate a milestone shaped not only by commitment, but by how we work every day: with clarity, accountability, a willingness to break down barriers, and urgency for patients. From early research to the progress we’re building today, this journey has been powered by our founding team, our growing organization, our clinical partners, and the IgAN community at the heart of our work. We’re grateful for a decade shaped by these values, and even more energized for what’s ahead, as we continue working to bring new treatment options to patients with serious immunologic diseases. #LifeAtVera

On this Mother’s Day, we’re thinking about the moms who show up, all while quietly managing a disease most people have never heard of. IgA nephropathy doesn’t pause for holidays. For women living with IgAN, every day requires a kind of strength that rarely gets acknowledged, but should. Know a mom living with #IgAN?

Bonnie started The IgA Nephropathy Foundation with her husband, Ed and works full time as Director of the Foundation. #IgANephropathy #MothersDay

At Vera Therapeutics, our values guide everything we do. These values aren't just words - they define our unique culture and how we show up every day. We're starting a series exploring what they mean and how they shape our work. First up: Empathy. Empathy is our foundation. It's not a buzzword for us: it's the reason we exist. When we listen to patients living with IgAN and their care partners, we hear frustration, due to decades of a “wait and see” approach, years of uncertainty about disease progression, and the weight of a chronic illness. Our empathy – striving to truly understand what patients face - informs every decision we make. It's why we pursue possible solutions based on the source of disease. It's why we engage deeply in the community. It's why we show up to this work every single day. We have four more values to explore in the coming weeks. But this one - listening deeply, understanding what truly matters - is where we start. #LifeatVera #VeraValues

This National Donate Life Month, we honor the donors who give the ultimate gift and celebrate the lives they've saved. Organ donations touch many communities, including those living with kidney disease – a community we are committed to serving. We're grateful for the donors, healthcare teams, advocates, and families who support this lifesaving process. If you haven't already, please have the conversation about organ donation with your loved ones. Every donor makes a difference. #DonateLifeMonth #KidneyDisease

In recognition of #WorldHealthDay, we raise awareness around IgA nephropathy (IgAN), a chronic autoimmune disease we’re dedicated to fighting by pursuing science with rigor and intention. IgAN is a leading cause of kidney failure and affects millions of people worldwide. At Vera Therapeutics, we're committed to working with the patient and scientific community to uncover the deeper truths of this disease and make meaningful progress toward developing medicines that address the root cause of IgAN.
