Tailwinds

  • Engaging with the FDA and other government agencies to identify pathways for the potential accelerated availability of mavrilimumab as a therapeutic option for severe COVID-19 patients.
  • Initiating Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial of KPL-404 in rheumatoid arthritis in the second half of 2021.
  • KPL-404 has the potential to address a broad range of autoimmune diseases.
  • Vixarelimab is the only monoclonal antibody in development that targets both interleukin-31 (IL-31) and oncostatin M (OSM) pathways simultaneously.
  • Expectation about cash reserves funding current operating plan into 2023.

Headwinds

  • Delays or difficulty in enrollment of patients in, and activation or continuation of sites for, clinical trials.
  • Amendments to clinical trial protocols initiated or required by regulatory authorities.
  • Delays or difficulty in completing clinical trials, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Potential for changes between final data and any preliminary, interim, top-line or other data from clinical trials conducted by us or third parties.
  • Inability to replicate in later clinical trials the positive final data from earlier clinical trials or studies.
