Pending the submission and FDA review of the BLA, the company said it looks forward to a potential PDUFA date and commercial launch in 2026.
The ORIGIN 3 trial is a global, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of atacicept in patients with IgAN who have persistent proteinuria and remain at high risk of disease progression.
Participants are randomized 1:1 to at-home self-administered once-weekly subcutaneous injections of atacicept 150 mg or placebo for a 104-week double-blind period, followed by a 52-week open-label extension.
The primary efficacy endpoint is the change in proteinuria as evaluated by urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR) through 36 weeks in an interim analysis of at least 200 participants.
The key secondary efficacy endpoint is a change in kidney function measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) through 104 weeks in the full study population.
In addition, the company is currently conducting the ORIGIN Extend trial, which provides extended access to atacicept for participants from the ORIGIN Phase 2b or Phase 3 trials until commercial availability in their region and captures longer-term safety and efficacy data.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vera Therapeutics Stock Prediction For 2025</h2>
Equity research analysts on and off Wall Street typically use earnings growth and fundamental research as a form of valuation and forecasting. But many in trading turn to technical analysis as a way to form predictive models for share price trajectory.
Some investors look to trends to help forecast where they believe a stock could trade at a certain point in the future. Looking at Vera Therapeutics, an investor could make an assessment about a stock's long term prospects using a moving average and trend line. If they believe a stock will remain above the moving average, which many believe is a bullish signal, they can extrapolate that trend into the future using a trend line. For Vera Therapeutics, the 200-day moving average sits at $37.56, according to <a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, which is above the current price of $19.45. For more on charts and trend lines, <a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener">see a description here.</a>
Traders believe that when a stock is above its moving average, it is a generally bullish signal, and when it crosses below, it is a more negative signal. Investors could use trend lines to make an educated guess about where a stock could trade at a later date if conditions remain stable.
Price Action: VERA stock is up 14.60% at $21.62&nbsp;at the last check Wednesday.

BRISBANE, Calif., April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vera Therapeutics, Inc.

"We are grateful for the IgAN community's strong interest in the clinical development of atacicept that helped drive us towards completing full enrollment in the ORIGIN 3 trial with a total of 431 participants. Complete enrollment represents another key milestone on the path to potential approval of the first B cell modulator targeting both BAFF and APRIL for IgAN," said Marshall Fordyce, M.D., Founder and CEO of Vera Therapeutics. "We anticipate the 36-week primary efficacy endpoint data from the trial this quarter, which supports our planned Biologics License Application for an accelerated approval to the U.S. FDA in the second half of 2025. ORIGIN 3 follows the positive long-term results from the ORIGIN Phase 2b trial that demonstrated sustained and substantial reductions in Gd-IgA1, hematuria and proteinuria, and showed stabilized kidney function through 96 weeks, positioning atacicept as a potential best-in-class IgAN therapy. Pending the submission and thorough FDA review of the BLA, we would look forward to a potential PDUFA date and commercial launch in 2026."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy VERA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Vera Therapeutics&#8217;s case, it is in the Health Care sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, VERA has a 52-week high of $51.61 and a 52-week low of $14.20.

On Saturday, Vera Therapeutics Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VERA#NASDAQ">VERA</a>) released data from its ORIGIN Phase 2b trial of atacicept in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), which showed stabilized kidney function through 96 weeks <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/g41562227/vera-therapeutics-announces-96-week-egfr-stabilization-in-origin-phase-2b-study-of-atacicept-in-ig" rel="noreferrer noopener">of long-term follow-up</a>.
These data were presented in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week 2024 and published in a&nbsp;manuscript&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Over 96 weeks, participants treated with atacicept demonstrated a -66% reduction in galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1), resolution of hematuria in 75% of participants, a -52% reduction in proteinuria, and a mean annualized estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope of -0.6 mL/min/1.73m2/year.
The cumulative generally favorable safety profile of atacicept remained consistent with that observed during the randomized period, with a 90% completion rate of atacicept treatment.
The company says these data support the potential for atacicept to offer long-term, comprehensive IgAN disease modification and provide further confidence in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 ORIGIN 3 trial of atacicept in IgAN.
The company plans to initiate an ORIGIN Extend study in the fourth quarter of 2024, which will provide ORIGIN participants with extended access to atacicept before its commercial availability.
The ORIGIN 3 trial is on track to announce topline results in the second quarter of 2025, with planned FDA marketing application submission later in the year.
Earlier this year, Vera Therapeutics revealed 72-week data from the open-label extension (OLE) period of its Phase 2b ORIGIN clinical trial of atacicept in participants with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).&nbsp;
Data from the OLE showed the consistent and sustained reductions of serum galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-lgA1), hematuria, and urine protein to creatinine ratio (UPCR), as well as the stability of eGFR over 72 weeks&nbsp;in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/01/36807507/whats-going-on-with-vera-therapeutics-stock-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">participants with IgAN</a>.&nbsp;
Price Action: VERA stock is up 12.2% at $46.12 at last check Monday.
