About Retrophin, Inc.
Retrophin is a biopharmaceutical
company specializing in identifying, developing and delivering life-changing therapies to people living with rare disease. The Company s approach centers on its pipeline featuring sparsentan, a product candidate in late-stage development for
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN), rare disorders characterized by progressive scarring of the kidney often leading to end-stage renal disease. Research in additional rare
diseases is also underway, including partnerships with leaders in patient advocacy and government research to identify potential therapeutics for NGLY1 deficiency and Alagille syndrome, conditions with no approved treatment options. Retrophin s
R&D efforts are partially supported by revenues from the Company s commercial products Chenodal , Cholbam , Thiola and Thiola EC .
