Five-year global investment to fuel R&D and manufacturing expansion, supporting development of new technologies and services designed to improve therapy access, care experience and outcomes for patients
Company to outline vision and showcase foundation for accelerated innovation later this week at 62nd ERA Congress in Vienna, Austria
VIENNA, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vantive, a vital organ therapy company with a 70-year legacy of kidney care innovation, today announced its plan to invest more than US $1 billion over the next five years in expanding research and development as well as production capacity. Building on the company's foundation, which will be showcased for the first time as a standalone Vantive portfolio at the 62nd European Renal Association (ERA) Congress, this global investment is intended to fuel innovation of digitally-enabled therapies designed to enhance care access, experience and outcomes for patients.
"As we prepare to take part in our first ERA Congress as Vantive, we are proud to unveil this significant investment, which underscores our commitment to shaping the future of kidney care and vital organ support," said Chris Toth, CEO of Vantive. "Better outcomes are possible when care is more accessible, more intuitive, and more connected to the needs of patients as well as the realities of the modern healthcare ecosystem. That's why we are focused on transforming where and how therapy is delivered - from life-saving critical care for patients in a hospital, to life-sustaining dialysis for patients at home."
Accelerating Innovation of Digitally-Enabled Therapies to Meet Patient and Clinician Needs
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is both widespread and expensive, with the annual cost of CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Europe alone estimated to exceed €140 billion per year.1 As aging populations and rising rates of diabetes and hypertension drive this growing CKD patient population, the pressure on health systems is intensifying. CKD is projected to become the fifth leading cause of death globally by 2040.2 In addition to the increasing burden of chronic kidney disease, there is a pressing need for acute organ support therapy options. For example, as many as 60 percent of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) may have acute kidney injury.3, 4 Time and resources are increasingly stretched, and clinicians urgently need smarter, scalable, and more sustainable care tools that can address more patients, more effectively while keeping pace with clinical complexity.
Vantive's investment in R&D and manufacturing capacity is intended to accelerate the pace of innovation to help healthcare systems meet this growing demand. Through the development of digitally-enabled dialysis and critical care products and services, Vantive aims to power earlier and better-informed clinical decision-making, minimize disruption of care for patients and clinical teams, shift kidney care management from episodic to proactive, and enhance patient-care team connectivity. The goal is to enable expanded access to more consistent, efficient, personalized care.
Showcasing Foundation for Growth at ERA 2025
As a new standalone company, Vantive is on a mission to extend lives and expand possibilities. To showcase this mission at ERA 2025, the company will be highlighting key products, digital solutions, advanced services and clinical studies that underscore Vantive's commitment to helping healthcare providers make better use of their limited resources while enhancing patients' freedom of choice and quality of life through equitable access to home-based therapies. These products, digital solutions, services and studies include:
- Remote Patient Management: The Sharesource Connectivity Platform is a two-way remote patient management platform that enables patients using at-home automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) to remain connected with their care teams throughout treatment, while allowing healthcare professionals to securely view and act on patients' data. Since introducing this technology 10 years ago, Sharesource has supported over 100 million home dialysis treatments for patients around the world. For at-home APD patients, use of Sharesource has been associated with improved patient adherence to therapy as well as lower incidence of all-cause mortality, reduced hospitalization rates and reduced drop-out rates.5,6
- Remote Patient Management Clinical Studies: Vantive will present studies examining the implementation of Sharesource Analytics 1.0 in peritoneal dialysis (PD) services, as well as the impact remote patient management tools can have on a PD care team's overall efficiency and clinical outcomes.
- Digital Health Solutions for ICU Healthcare Practitioners: Vantive's PrisMax System is the result of 30 years of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) innovation and ICU partnership. PrisMax was developed to address the most pressing challenges of ICU healthcare practitioners in treating critically ill patients. With TrueVue Connect digital health solutions embedded, this technology provides timely data to enable CRRT management and multi-organ support in the acute setting.
- Virtual Reality (VR) Training and Vantive Learning Services: Vantive Learning Services provides on-demand training to support clinicians in using Vantive's therapies. This includes Vantive's VR-based educational training, which offers intensive care staff an immersive training in the use of the PrisMax System to treat patients with critical kidney injuries. The VR technology includes a virtual 3D model of the PrisMax System, preventing the need to reduce frontline service to train staff.
Vantive will provide one-on-one product demonstrations, and CEO Chris Toth will provide additional insight into the company's vision at ERA 2025.
