Structured fields used in claim comparison tables when every cited study has a complete layer.

Key findings

Enhanced stability/half-life via PEGylation; favorable efficacy/safety signals with caveats for uncontrolled BRIDGE/BRIGHT; BALANCE CI above −3 and including zero; 97% BALANCE completers continued therapy.

Methodology

Summarized pharmacology and phase 1/2 plus BRIDGE/BRIGHT/BALANCE evidence, including BALANCE ITT eGFR slopes and extension uptake.

Limitations

Review does not replace reading primary trial protocols; BRIDGE/BRIGHT lack controls.
