Travere Therapeutics Announces Planned Retirement of Chief Research Officer in 2027

Travere Therapeutics, Inc., (Nasdaq: TVTX) today announced that William Rote, Ph.D., the Company’s chief research officer, plans to retire from the Company in February 2027 following 10 years of service. Jula Inrig, M.D., currently chief medical officer and a member of the Company’s executive leadership team, will expand her responsibilities to include the Company’s research organization and be named executive vice president, head of research and development and CMO.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors and everyone at Travere, I want to thank Bill for his extraordinary leadership, scientific vision and unwavering commitment to patients over the last decade,” said Eric Dube, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Travere Therapeutics. “Since joining Travere in 2017, Bill has played a pivotal role in transforming our company into a recognized leader in rare disease. He built and strengthened critical research and development capabilities, assembled exceptional teams across his organization, and helped to guide successful approvals in both IgA nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. His contributions have left an enduring mark on Travere and, most importantly, on the patients we serve.”

“It has been an incredible privilege to work alongside such a talented and mission-driven team,” said Dr. Rote. “I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together, including establishing Travere as a leader in rare kidney disease and helping bring important treatment options to patients who previously had few or no approved therapies. I look forward to continuing to work closely with Jula over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition.”

Dr. Inrig joined Travere in January 2022 as chief medical officer and has been responsible for overseeing the Company’s medical affairs, clinical development, clinical operations and pharmacovigilance functions. A nephrologist by training, she brings more than 20 years of experience in clinical research, drug development and global regulatory strategy. Prior to joining Travere, Dr. Inrig served as Global Head of the Renal Center of Excellence at IQVIA, where she helped lead the design and execution of clinical development programs that supported regulatory approvals in kidney disease and oversaw numerous global clinical trials, including pivotal studies in IgA nephropathy and FSGS. In her expanded role, Dr. Inrig will continue to lead her current organization while taking on additional responsibility for Travere’s broader research and development organization, including regulatory affairs, quality, technical operations, biometrics and research.
