Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Aurinia or the Company) is a fully integrated biopharmaceutical company focused on delivering therapies to people living with autoimmune diseases with high unmet medical needs. In January 2021, the Company introduced LUPKYNIS® (voclosporin), the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved oral therapy for the treatment of adult patients with active lupus nephritis (LN) and continues to conduct clinical and regulatory activities to support the LUPKYNIS development program. Aurinia contracted with Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) as a collaboration partner for development and commercialization of LUPKYNIS in the European Union (EU), Japan, as well as the United Kingdom, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, Belarus, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Ukraine (collectively, the Otsuka Territories). On February 15, 2024, the Company announced the conclusion of its previously announced strategic review process and actions designed to enhance shareholder value. Aurinia executed a corporate restructuring in the first quarter that reduced employee headcount by approximately 25% and discontinued its AUR300 research and development program. For further discussion, refer to Note 19, Restructuring. On November 7, 2024, Aurinia announced it was implementing a strategic restructuring to sharpen the Company's focus on continued LUPKYNIS® growth and the rapid development of AUR200. This restructuring will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 45% and Aurinia anticipates a one-time restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2024 of approximately $15 to $19 million and will focus the Company’s LUPKYNIS commercial strategy on the highest growth drivers. The Company is also developing its pipeline asset AUR200, a differentiated, potential next generation therapy for autoimmune diseases that targets both BAFF (B-cell Activating Factor) and APRIL (A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand). On September 5, 2024, the Company announced the first participant has been dosed in a Phase 1 single ascending dose (SAD) study of AUR200.
