Dear Supporters and Partners,

We are thrilled to present our 2023 Annual Impact Report, a testament to the work and progress we’ve achieved together in advancing our shared mission of funding research, advocating for patients, and building a community for all impacted by polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

For over four decades, our supporters have helped move the needle on funding progress toward a cure, understanding more than ever about PKD, and improving the lives of those living with the disease. As we reflect on the past year, we have much gratitude for the unwavering support and collaboration of our dedicated partners, volunteers, and donors. At the PKD Foundation, we recognize the power of collaboration in driving meaningful change and creating lasting impact. This year, our partnerships were instrumental in expanding our reach, enhancing our programs, and amplifying our impact in the PKD community.

Here are just some of the 2023 highlights:

• In 2023, we awarded 20% more research grants than in 2022 due to the quality of the proposed studies and the Foundation’s commitment to fund the best research.

• Our ADPKD Centers of Excellence (COE) program increased the number of people who now have access to quality, holistic ADPKD care. COE locations grew by 57% and our inaugural cohort saw 20% more patients with ADPKD than in 2022. COE partnerships also connected researchers and clinicians to accelerate PKD research and advance expertise.

• Now with over 3,000 participants, our new and improved ADPKD Registry allows patients to provide their health information so researchers can utilize data that will accelerate a cure and improve care.

4 2023 Impact Report

• The PKD Foundation forged a strategic relationship with the Federal Drug Administration to leverage expertise, resources, and networks for an ARPKD Externally-Led Patient-Focused Drug Development meeting. This meeting resulted in a Voice of the Patient report that will be used by researchers to ensure the patient’s lived experience is at the forefront of drug development.

• Our Walk for PKD supporters and volunteers throughout the country raised over $1.1M in funding that can directly impact PKD research and expand care.

Behind every statistic and metric in this report are countless stories of impact and transformation. We are inspired by the resilience, courage, and compassion of the individuals and communities we serve. As we look to the future, we are committed to deepening and expanding our partnerships to tackle emerging challenges and seize new opportunities. Together, we will continue to innovate, collaborate, and advocate for people with PKD and their loved ones.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our partners, donors, volunteers, and supporters for their unwavering commitment to end PKD. Your generosity, dedication, and passion inspire us every day and drive us forward in our mission to create lasting change.

2023 Impact Report 7

ABOUT PKD

There are two types of PKD.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most common, life-threatening genetic diseases. In ADPKD, fluid-filled cysts develop and enlarge in both kidneys, eventually leading to kidney failure. It is the fourth leading cause of kidney failure, with more than 50% of people with ADPKD developing kidney failure by age 50. Once a person has kidney failure, dialysis or a transplant are the only options.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is a rare genetic disorder occurring in approximately 1 in 25,000 children, equally affecting boys and girls. While ARPKD can cause death in the first month of life, almost 80% of ARPKD children survive the newborn period.

Despite one-third of patients needing a transplant or dialysis in the first 10 years, the prognosis for ARPKD has changed dramatically. It is no longer considered a fatal condition. More than 90% of children who survive the newborn period reach their 20th birthday, and 50% do not require dialysis or a transplant yet.

RESEARCH

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

The PKD Foundation, established in 1982, was founded with a primary focus on research into finding a cure for polycystic kidney disease (PKD). At the Foundation’s inception, knowledge about the disease was limited. Genes causing the disease had not been identified, and only a few researchers were dedicated to PKD science.

Since then, we have continued to fund innovative research toward the path to a cure for PKD. Notably, in 2023 we awarded 20% more grants than in 2022. Each grant was chosen by our Scientific Advisory Panel, stakeholders, and ad hoc scientists.

We also funded three fellowships that acknowledge outstanding researchers. The fellowships recognize early-career scientists whose achievements and potential identify them as rising stars–the next generation of scientific leaders in PKD research.

Not only have we provided funding for PKD research over the past 41 years, but our advocates have leveraged more than $1 billion for federal research grants. The Foundation continues to advocate for the inclusion of PKD in research funding priorities with key stakeholders in the federal government.

20% increase in grant funding

Leveraged more than $1B for federal research grants since 1982

Additionally, in 2023, we made exciting strides in the autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) drug development space. In August, we hosted the first ever Externally-Led Patient-Focused Drug Develpment Meeting focused on ARPKD which united doctors, researchers, industry partners, the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), and ARPKD families to elevate the urgent needs of the ARPKD community.

ARPKD families emphasized the struggles of living with ARPKD and how important it is to have treatments. After the meeting, a Voice of the Patient report was created to inform future FDA decisions and oversight of ARPKD drug development. This landmark report will impact the future of ARPKD treatments and, in turn, improve the lives of people with ARPKD and their families who currently have no treatment to manage the disease.

The Foundation’s financial commitment over the years has yielded positive results on a local, national, and a global level. This includes initiating funding for young investigators from around the world, supporting innovative research ideas, and providing seed funding to allow researchers worldwide to apply for larger National Institutes of Health and Department of Defense grants. Every dollar directed to PKD research represents a stride toward understanding, treating, and ultimately curing this complex condition, offering hope and relief to millions worldwide.

RESEARCHER SPOTLIGHT

Texas

“As chair of the Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) at the PKD Foundation, I am continually reminded of the pivotal role the SAP plays in guiding PKD research. Our collaborative efforts ensure that we are not only funding, but also strategically advancing studies with the most potential to make a tangible difference. Looking back at my own 2014 research, it’s clear how those foundational studies funded by the PKD Foundation directly influenced the current clinical trials of RGLS8429. By understanding the genetic underpinnings of PKD and identifying promising therapeutic targets, we paved the way for RGLS8429 to emerge as a candidate drug. Today, RGLS8429 represents a new hopeful medicine for people with PKD. It is designed to address the root causes of kidney damage in PKD, potentially slowing or even reversing disease progression. Our hope is that this drug will improve life expectancy and quality for PKD patients, making it one of the most promising advancements in our fight against this challenging disease.”

REGISTRY

In 2019, we launched the ADPKD Registry, the first national patient-centered registry for people with ADPKD. Four years later, the Registry has opened much needed avenues for discussion and data exchange between patients and researchers.

In July, we launched an updated version, Registry 2.0, to make the program even more valuable to patients and researchers by linking anonymized electronic health record data into a central repository. This data will be critical to the development of new therapies and a path to a cure for PKD.

Here are the new features of Registry 2.0:

Link To Electronic Health Records – Initially, the Registry only had patient-reported outcomes via surveys regarding family history and how PKD impacts a patient’s life. Now, participating patients can link their electronic health records directly to the Registry. This lets researchers see updated patient labs, medications, and symptoms. Enhancing our ADPKD Registry to integrate patient-provided electronic health records helps researchers better understand ADPKD and drive new treatments.

Improved

User

Experience

– After hosting several forums with Registry participants, it was learned that parts of the original

Registry were unnecessarily time consuming. For example, the patient questionnaire now auto-populates for patients, so they do not have to complete the entire questionnaire with each Registry update.

Personal Impact Calendar – We wanted the Registry to help patients better understand their disease. In Registry 2.0, participants can answer three short questions about how the disease has affected their lives. From their answers, a personalized calendar shows their patterns of symptoms like fatigue and pain over time, which can be useful for both patients and their doctors.

Care Summary – This summary highlights information and trends such as kidney function, family history, and diet. The summary provides the patient’s background and potential conversation points with the person’s doctor.

Data Sharing Portal – We will create a data sharing portal for the Registry. After submitting a formal request, researchers will be able to log in to a portal that shows anonymous, aggregated patient data that could aid in the research process. Having all this data in one place can accelerate research in various aspects of PKD.

2023 Impact Report 15

As of December 31, 2023, over 3,000 people have participated in the Registry, and 200 people have connected their health records. 2023 was an important year in enhancing the patient and researcher Registry experience. Patients can have a more individualized profile of their disease to improve the impact of PKD, and researchers can easily view important data that will help them find a path to a cure.

Number of people in registry: 3,000

Number of health records connected: 200

EXCELLENCE CENTERS OF

18 2023 Impact Report

Whether someone is facing a new ADPKD diagnosis or if someone has been managing the disease for years, where one goes for care matters. That is why, in November 2022, we launched our Centers of Excellence (COE) program to provide people with ADPKD-specific care through comprehensive, patient-focused services and support from patient navigation teams.

The COE program recognizes institutions for their ADPKD-focused care and for their continuous contributions to ADPKD research by generating new clinical questions and supporting enrollment in the ADPKD Registry. This holistic and patient-centered approach brings us closer to our vision to end PKD.

Following a rigorous selection process by the COE Advisory Panel, which includes clinicians and patient stakeholders, we announced a 57% expansion of the Centers of Excellence program in 2023. Among those, nine healthcare institutions were recognized as new COEs, 14 institutions were deemed new Partner Clinics, and five were named Pediatric Clinics.

Care wise, our inaugural COE cohort saw a 20% increase in PKD patients who were seen in 2023. This proves that our elite designation for nephrology practices and clinics is increasing the number of ADPKD patients who can better manage their disease, improve their quality of life, and plan for the future.

Additionally, we awarded six Care Team Grants in 2023. These grants bolster institutions’ care teams, fostering patient navigation and supporting comprehensive, ADPKD-centered care. This three-year funding highlights their commitment to raising ADPKD care standards.

An important program benefit for both the COE network of ADPKD clinicians and the ADPKD patient community is COE clinic mentorship. Through peer-to-peer education among the COEs, clinicians partner with the PKD Foundation to share important ADPKD information and research. These collaborations foster ADPKD clinic and community growth.

We are proud of the COE program’s growth and impact in 2023. We are continuously working to expand the COE network to improve patient access and raise the standard of care for patients with ADPKD.

ADVOCACY

22 2023 Impact Report

In collaboration with PKD community advocates, members of Congress, and other kidney health organizations, we work to further legislation, inform government regulations, and secure essential federal funding opportunities to improve the lives of everyone in the PKD community.

The Securing the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network Act is just one of many pieces of legislation the PKD Foundation has endorsed. On September 22, 2023, the bill was signed into law. Through this law, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) can be improved and modernized, making it possible for more patients to be connected with available organs.

In our pursuit of furthering legislation and securing federal research funding, the Advocacy Champions Network (ACN) plays an important role. This dedicated group of 61 patients, family members, and clinicians works to build relationships with members of Congress to advance legislation supporting PKD research, treatments, and care. Thanks to their leadership in last year’s Advocacy Day, 110 meetings took place with members of Congress or their staff.

To recognize outstanding advocacy work, last year’s ACN awards ceremony honored Michelle Hoffmann and Greg Mainolfi. Michelle earned the ACN Champion of the Year award for her active involvement in Congress, media outreach, and participation in crucial PKD events. Greg received the Needle Mover Award for his exceptional commitment to advancing PKD legislation and unwavering advocacy.

Alongside our ACN awardees, two members of Congress received awards in 2023 for their invaluable support. Representatives Joe Wilson (R-SC-02) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY-12) were honored for their leadership in introducing the Living Organ Donor Tax Credit Act. Rep. Nadler has been a lead sponsor of the Living Donor Protection Act, and Rep. Wilson has been instrumental in advancing legislation for the congressional kidney caucus.

With the help of our supporters, our efforts to raise awareness of PKD and the needs of its community continue to drive change.

EDUCATION

26 2023 Impact Report

All PKD patients, families, and caregivers should have the tools and resources necessary to manage PKD. As the leader in PKD, we designed educational events to ensure PKD education was accessible and impactful for those in need.

Throughout the year, we hosted eight webinars on various topics such as collaborating with your provider and available treatment options. With only an internet connection needed, these webinars eliminated geographic barriers and provided interactive learning experiences.

From patients and caregivers to researchers and physicians, the PKD Connect Conference provided education, research updates, resources, and networking opportunities to 1,000 members of the PKD community, both in person and virtually. With accessibility a top priority, all 20 educational sessions were also livestreamed.

The inaugural Center of Excellence (COE) Conference welcomed COE network nephrologists and patient navigators nationwide. Through nine sessions, speakers shared their expertise with peers and patient stakeholders, discussing everything from care standards to clinical trials.

Building on the annual conference, members of the COE network were invited to participate in exclusive peer-to-peer education. Rotating topics and presenters, each learning

series created opportunities for COE members to connect and improve ADPKD care for patients.

Through our partnership with the International Society of Nephrology (ISN), we collaborated on the webinar, “Equity in ADPKD: Bridging Gaps for Better Patient Outcomes.” Our collaboration drew an audience from 10 countries. ISN continued this topic on their podcast, Global Kidney Care, which included PKD Foundation Outreach Ambassador Funke Ojuri as a participant.

With our partners at Medscape, we established our first continuing medical education (CME) course—Genetic Testing in PKD: A Multi-Specialty Discussion. Nearly 300 nephrologists and more than 500 primary care physicians have participated. This is an important step in helping physicians understand the role of genetic testing in ADPKD.

FUNDRAISING COMMUNITY

34 2023 Impact Report

Every day, people from across the country are raising funds to impact the lives of people with PKD and their loved ones.

The Walk for PKD is the largest fundraising event for polycystic kidney disease (PKD), raising over $35 million since its inception in 2000. The event unites patients, families, friends, physicians, and researchers to strengthen the community for everyone impacted by PKD. In 2023, the Walk for PKD had 40 locations and more than 5,100 Walkers. Together, they raised over $1.1 million for PKD research.

Beyond the Foundation’s annual Walk events, members of the PKD community hosted their own fundraisers through our Fundraise Your Way program. Across the country, people turned their passions into fundraisers, supporting the PKD Foundation and creating a brighter future for those with PKD.

Hosted by Bekki and Mike Haggard, the annual Miami Kidney Casino Night raised over $234,000. Karyn and Jerry Waxman hosted the 22nd Annual Memphis Golf Tournament and the inaugural Sarasota Golf Tournament. Combined, they raised more than $140,000. In his annual Celtic Golf Tournament, Dan Hughes exceeded his past tournament totals—raising over $50,000.

Along with hosting events, members of the PKD community took part in physical challenges to raise money for PKD research.

Fourteen runners participated in the Chicago Marathon, raising over $34,000. The annual Angel’s Giving Back 5K and golf tournament raised $60,000. Tom McGivney and his wife, MaryAnn, conquered Mt. Kilimanjaro to honor his father and brother, collecting $6,500 in donations for the PKD Foundation.

These are just a few of the events hosted last year that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to support the PKD Foundation’s mission. A big thank you to all of our volunteers, fundraisers, and event organizers for helping us fund life-saving PKD research.
