- Hispanic Heritage Month | FibroGen
Advancing Therapeutic Options Around the World Hispanic Heritage Month Happy Hispanic Heritage Month from FibroGen! During Hispanic Heritage Month, from September 15 – October 15, we celebrate the many contributions of Hispanic members of our community. In honor of this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month, we spoke with Juan Graham , Chief Financial Officer, (pictured with wife Jes and daughter Journee), about what his Hispanic heritage means to him. Where were you born? I was born in Cuernavaca - a town south of Mexico City. However, I grew up in Monterrey, Mexico, as my parents relocated there to be closer to family when I was four. When did you come to the United States? I was born in Cuernavaca - a town south of Mexico City. However, I grew up in Monterrey, Mexico, as my parents relocated there to be closer to family when I was four. How does your heritage influence your work? I believe everyone’s heritage and background allows them to view the world from different perspectives. In my case, I was fortunate enough to have a father who was a physician. My father contracted polio as a child, and he lived a life that required him to work differently. At times this disadvantage provided him with daily challenges in which he needed to be creative in solving problems. I saw my father apply this same perspective professionally and personally raising a family of three with my mother. It is this perspective that influences my work the most. Things are not always what they appear. This perspective reminds me to stay curious, and that enables me to look at challenges (and solutions) in a variety of ways—that is not always easy in the finance function. How are you raising your daughter in ways that celebrate her heritage? My daughter was born in Tokyo, Japan to a Mexican father and Nuyorican (Puerto Rican from New York) mother. There is no shortage of celebrating cultures in our household. From celebrating holidays (not just Mexican, but others), eating traditional Mexican foods, and speaking English and Spanish, my hope is that she celebrates all cultures. We hope she honors her culture as she gets older and further identifies in different ways. For now, let’s just say (and I hate to sound cliche) but there is a lot of salsa dancing, Marc Anthony and mariachi music playing at different times throughout her day. Do you feel that people of Hispanic heritage have equal opportunities in the workplace, or do we still have a way to go? I believe this question is best answered by looking at data. Minorities are underrepresented in a variety of ways from access to healthcare, under representation in clinical trials, and generally in business. This holds true for other groups too (disabled populations, economic disparities, educational disadvantages). I believe we are making progress in ways beyond representation that are starting to impact our society, and if we continue to progress, we can affect and change the trajectory of these communities. That makes me excited. What is your advice to young people of Hispanic heritage looking to get their start in biotech or finance? Learn as much as possible from the people that are willing to support and help. Find these people. Find your people - they may be in your immediate community, but they may not. The good news is there are more and more increased networks that are available. Also, have an open mind towards your career and take as many opportunities as possible and challenges that will allow you to accelerate your learning. I love Formula 1 racing and follow the only Mexican driver in the circuit – Sergio (Checo) Perez. Despite ups and downs on race weekends, he shows resilience, a steady temperament and a mindset to never give up. I am inspired by this attitude, and we have our share of ups and downs in biotech and finance… I believe the same mindset is applicable to Hispanic and non-Hispanic minorities. Is there anything else you’d like to share? I am a proud Mexican. That allows me to celebrate all things that make life grand- family, food, music, love! BUT these are things all cultures celebrate and so in that way, my celebration of these things is a celebration of ALL cultures. At FibroGen, we also honor Hispanic Heritage Month by featuring several Hispanic-owned businesses in our weekly lunch rotation, including Cuban Kitchen , Guerrero’s Taqueria , and others.

Search Results 79 items found for "" Anemia | FibroGen Anemia Understanding Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and Chemotherapy Induced Anemia (CIA) Anemia is a medical condition characterized by the reduced capacity of the blood to carry oxygen. Patients suffering from anemia may have insufficient levels of or impaired red blood cells and low levels of hemoglobin (Hb), an essential protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen to cells throughout the body. Anemia is associated with increased risks of hospitalization, cardiovascular complications, the need for blood transfusion, exacerbation of other serious medical conditions, and death. Even in milder forms, anemia can lead to significant fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and decreased quality of life. The more severe the anemia, the greater the health impact on patients. Severe anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer, inflammation, and other chronic illnesses and conditions. Despite its prevalence, when anemia develops in association with a disease for which a patient receives separate treatment, the associated anemia is often left untreated. Anemia is particularly prevalent in patients with CKD, a critical healthcare problem most commonly caused by diabetes and hypertension. CKD affects more than 200 million people worldwide (KDIGO Kidney Int Suppl. 2013:S1–150), and anemia significantly increases medical care costs for those patients. CKD is generally a progressive disease characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function that may eventually lead to kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Patients with ESRD require renal replacement therapy: either dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation. CKD accompanied by anemia is associated with worse health outcomes than CKD alone, including more rapid progression of CKD and increased death rate. Although chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy, it is often not recognized and is frequently undertreated. CIA can adversely affect long-term patient outcomes, as the anemic environment may limit the effectiveness of some chemotherapy agents. The incidence and severity of CIA depends on a variety of factors, including the type, schedule, and intensity of therapy administered, or whether the patient has received prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. An estimated 30% to 90% of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy develop anemia. Approximately 650,000 cancer patients undergo chemotherapy every year in the United States. Explore Our Pipeline We are developing products with the potential to change lives. LEARN MORE ESG | FibroGen ESG ESG ESG Policy Links Environment, Health and Safety At FibroGen, we have embraced a corporate vision statement across our enterprise: Our mission is to improve the lives of people globally by developing innovative therapies anchored in high-quality science and our passion for patients. Further, to enable our vision of excellence, we established a set of company-wide core values: empowerment, integrity and respect. Empowerment – We lead, inspire, trust and encourage each other to share ideas and assume new challenges to excel. We are accountable to each other and our commitment to our patients. Environment, Health and Safety For pharmaceutical companies, the product life cycle and supply chain require the use of valuable resources. FibroGen is committed to continuously reducing its environmental footprint. We adhere to California environmental, health and safety standards and city ordinances. Reports from city inspections are shared with the management and appropriate corrective actions are executed across the Company. We have i mplemented programs to recycle or donate electronic equipment when possible, provide organic compost services in the workplace, use environmentally preferred office and janitorial supplies, reduced paper waste, and have worked with our collaboration partners to reduce the amount of our product packaging and to implement good shipping practices to consolidate waste. In addition to adhering to environmental regulations, we offer a subsidized public transit commuter program, onsite electric vehicle charging stations, a flexible work from home policy, global access to video conferencing and meetings, and online medical monitoring to reduce travel. Ensuring that we have numerous programs in place to increase safety is critical to our success and fosters an experience of excellence at FibroGen. We continue to invest in lab and employee safety as well as employee health. We are also making investments in product safety and quality, and patient safety through our support of patient advocacy groups, patient support groups, expanded drug access programs, and clinical trial extensions. See our Enterprise-Level Environmental Policy Social, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Our state-of-the-art human capital management system has significantly expanded our capabilities to develop and assess our employees. The biotechnology industry is an extremely competitive labor market and recruiting and retaining employees is critical to the continued success of our business. We are highly committed to building a diverse, dedicated, and impassioned team to deliver innovative therapies to patients facing serious unmet medical needs. Our core values of empowerment, integrity and respect for people are fundamental to how we attract, grow, engage, and retain our people. We focus on recruiting, retaining, and developing employees from a diverse range of backgrounds to conduct our research, development, commercialization, and administrative activities. We consistently review and evaluate our people practices to ensure that we develop and retain a diverse, engaged and talented workforce. Our offerings include competitive, innovative and equitable pay practices, comprehensive health and wellness benefits, retirement and life insurance offerings, learning and giving programs, and flexible work arrangements. In addition to our employee and manager fundamentals learning programs, we offer wellness workouts, personal coaching and resiliency sessions, as well as access to LinkedIn Learning - an on-demand global learning management system. Our employees are offered up to 20 hours of internal career development programs each year in addition to tuition reimbursement eligibility. We build comprehensive development and succession plans at all levels in the organization to ensure that we have a strong pipeline of ready talent to meet our business outcomes. We also foster cross-functional growth opportunities and sponsor an annual promotions nomination and approval process. The Company implemented pay transparency practices for all U.S. employees in December 2022. This initiative is part of our commitment to reduce gender and racial pay gaps by ensuring our pay practices are transparent for candidates and employees. Additionally, every two years, we hire outside counsel to complete a pay parity study, which includes differences in pay by gender, ethnicity, tenure and other demographic factors. We review the results of the study with the Compensation Committee of the Board and use such results to inform whether we have any gaps that need to be addressed. In our most recent pay parity study, there were no significant findings. Minor differences in pay did not trend to one gender or the other; differences were not substantial and easily attributed to variables such as years of experience, education or certifications. We have increased our human capital and diversity efforts, and we expanded our diversity dashboards for statistical reporting to ensure visibility of our recruitment candidates as well as employee demographics. In 2022, FibroGen launched Women’s Network Group, which is devoted to supporting and encouraging women to develop and advance their skills and leadership potential by providing opportunities for connection, collaboration, mentorship, and support. The Group is open to all employees regardless of gender. Engagement includes such opportunities as special guest speakers, panel discussions with senior leaders, learning workshops “I am Remarkable” and book club discussions for example. In 2022, we conducted a company-wide employee engagement survey. We had an overall participation rate of 92% with over 90% of respondents reporting that they felt highly engaged. Further, for the first time an independent firm established a diversity, equity and inclusion index based upon 10 employee questions within the survey to measure the effectiveness of, and employee sentiment about, our progress in nurturing a culture of diversity, equity, belonging and inclusion; our diversity index score was 88%. These scores significantly exceed normative industry participation and engagement benchmarks. Additionally, we have facilitated training in unconscious bias, increased transparency and communications with employees through increased “Ask Me Anything” all-employee sessions and town halls, and our employee assistance programs have been expanded to include tele-health options and digital applications for expanded access. Meanwhile, we launched a collaboration, connection, communication, and recognition platform, called FibroGen Unite, Support, Engage (“F.U.S.E”). We encourage employees to use this platform to recognize each other for living our vision and values and for the everyday things we do. FibroGen believes that we have a responsibility to give back to our community by supporting career opportunities for those who would not otherwise have had access to learning, developing, and mentoring in our industry. During the summer of 2022, we partnered with NextGene Girls and Young Community Developers and re-launched our high school and college internship program by providing meaningful opportunities in science for young women and men of color and those in underserved areas. We believe that by growing a pipeline of talent today, we will benefit the biotech industry and the community at large tomorrow. In addition, we partnered again with our local community Family House and donated toys to children that are either hospitalized at or receiving treatment from UCSF’s Benioff Children’s Hospital. We also participated in and donated to the PanCAN Purple Strides Walk in Oakland, California to promote clinical trials and important research to improve the lives of patients with pancreatic cancer. See our Human Rights Policy Governance and Risk Management To enhance our corporate governance efforts, we maintain an internal audit function, made substantial improvements to our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program and strengthened our internal controls over financial reporting. Throughout the year, the Board and its Committees engage with management to discuss a wide range of enterprise risks, such as risks related to FibroGen’s businesses, cybersecurity, enterprise risk management, and they confirm the alignment of risk assessment and mitigation with business strategy. In 2022, we began implementation of enterprise risk management (“ERM”) and performed an enterprise risk assessment to help us manage the risks and seize opportunities that may arise as we seek to accomplish our corporate goals. ERM has implications for all areas of our business, including how we approach new challenges and opportunities and allocate resources. One of the organic benefits of a formal ERM process is that it builds and strengthens the habit of thinking about enterprise-level, functional, and project-level risks with a patient-first mindset. Our employees, officers and directors were asked to attend meetings and workshops, and provide input via surveys to help the Company identify potential risks and ways to mitigate them. As we pursue our mission of delivering therapies in areas of significant unmet need, ERM will facilitate and support the delivery of our corporate objectives. This will be achieved through understanding and identifying risks and opportunities while putting the appropriate plans in place to capitalize on the ERM approach. To better support our preparation for commercialization and scale our Company to continue meeting the needs of our patients globally, we streamlined multiple existing systems in 2022 and launched the enterprise resource planning system, System Analysis Program (“SAP”), at the beginning of 2023, covering areas such as Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing. With the implementation of this advanced technology platform, we aim to create a better, more stable user experience for employees and reduce our Company’s overall risk profile through greater reliance on automated controls. With respect to cybersecurity risks, the company continually invests in new information and cybersecurity services and technologies and provides employee awareness training and information around phishing and other cybersecurity risks, with the intention to protect the company against cybersecurity risks and security breaches. Our compliance program is an essential application of our core value of integrity. In November 2022, we observed Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week, with the core principles of awareness, recognition, and reinforcement of the compliance and ethics at work. Employees are enrolled in the annual compliance program, which emphasizes the shared responsibility for all colleagues to be good stewards of our organization through our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of business conduct and ethics. The annual compliance program includes certifications to confirm that employees understand and agree to abide by FibroGen’s corporate policies and guidelines, including our Anti-Bribery Policy, Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Insider Trading and Trading Window Policy, Whistleblower Policy, and Related Persons Transactions & SEC Compliance Policy, as well as engaging video program and presentations to enhance the understanding of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in general and to clarify our anti-bribery and data privacy guidelines. In addition, the Company operates a telephone hotline and whistleblower website available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, that allow employees to report unethical practices anonymously. See our Code of Vendor and Partner Conduct See our Global Code of Ethics for Clinical Trials Social, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Governance and Risk Management Integrity – We intend to hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in all we do: our work to bring therapies to market, the science we perform and our commitment to each other. Respect for People – We strive to foster individual growth and promote an environment that supports continued learning. We stand together as a community to build and sustain a culture of diversity, equity & inclusion; and value each other’s opinion and work collaboratively to achieve optimal outcomes while treating each other with high regard and dignity. We also believe it is critical to conserve our world’s resources and strive to create a safe and healthy environment for our employees and patients. These values are an integral part of our culture, our rewards, and recognition and performance management systems. We plan to continue our efforts in 2023 in critical environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) areas.

LEARN MORE Copy of Anemia | FibroGen Anemia Understanding Anemia of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Chemotherapy Induced Anemia (CIA) and Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Anemia is a medical condition characterized by the reduced capacity of the blood to carry oxygen. Patients suffering from anemia may have insufficient levels of or impaired red blood cells and low levels of hemoglobin (Hb), an essential protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen to cells throughout the body. Anemia is associated with increased risks of hospitalization, cardiovascular complications, the need for blood transfusion, exacerbation of other serious medical conditions, and death. Even in milder forms, anemia can lead to significant fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and decreased quality of life. The more severe the anemia, the greater the health impact on patients. Severe anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), cancer, myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), inflammation, and other chronic illnesses and conditions. Despite its prevalence, when anemia develops in association with a disease for which a patient receives separate treatment, the associated anemia is often left untreated. Anemia is particularly prevalent in patients with CKD, a critical healthcare problem most commonly caused by diabetes and hypertension. CKD affects more than 200 million people worldwide (KDIGO Kidney Int Suppl. 2013:S1–150), and anemia significantly increases medical care costs for those patients. CKD is generally a progressive disease characterized by the gradual loss of kidney function that may eventually lead to kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Patients with ESRD require renal replacement therapy: either dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation. CKD accompanied by anemia is associated with worse health outcomes than CKD alone, including more rapid progression of CKD and increased death rate. Although chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) is one of the most common side effects of chemotherapy, it is often not recognized and is frequently undertreated. CIA can adversely affect long-term patient outcomes, as the anemic environment may limit the effectiveness of some chemotherapy agents. The incidence and severity of CIA depends on a variety of factors, including the type, schedule, and intensity of therapy administered, or whether the patient has received prior myelosuppressive chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. An estimated 30% to 90% of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy develop anemia. Approximately 650,000 cancer patients undergo chemotherapy every year in the United States. Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders characterized by poorly formed or dysfunctional blood cells, resulting in chronic anemia in most patients. Anemia in MDS patients is associated with increased risk of hospitalization, cardiovascular complication, need for blood transfusion, exacerbation of other serious medical conditions, and death. In addition, anemia frequently leads to significant fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and decreased quality of life. Currently, there are few options available for treating anemia in MDS. Patients with MDS typically rely on repeated blood transfusions. Further, in most MDS patients in China, anemia is under-treated due to limited blood supply and challenges in accessing transfusions.

LEARN MORE Pamrevlumab | FibroGen Pamrevlumab Investigating the Groundbreaking Potential of Anti-CTGF Therapy Pamrevlumab is a potential first-in-class antibody being developed by FibroGen to inhibit the activity of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), a common factor in proliferative disorders as well as certain cancer cell types. Pamrevlumab is in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer, locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC), and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD), and Fast Track designation to pamrevlumab for the treatment of patients with LAPC, and DMD. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has also granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to pamrevlumab for the treatment of patients with DMD. Pamrevlumab has demonstrated a safety and tolerability profile that has supported ongoing clinical investigation in LAPC, and DMD.
