Title:
KD025-208: A Phase 2 Open-Label Trial of KD025 for Steroid-Dependent
Chronic Graft-Versus-Host Disease (cGVHD)
About KD025
KD025 is a selective oral inhibitor of
Rho-associated coiled-coil kinase 2 (ROCK2), a signaling pathway that
mediates cell movement, shape, differentiation and function and is
dysregulated in many chronic diseases, including cGVHD. In October 2017,
KD025 received orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for cGVHD. In April 2018, based on FDA guidance,
Kadmon announced a planned open-label, pivotal study of KD025 in cGVHD.
About cGVHD
cGVHD is a common and often fatal complication
following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a procedure that is
often used to treat patients with cancers such as myeloma or leukemia.
With cGVHD, transplanted immune cells (graft) attack the patient’s cells
(host), leading to inflammation and fibrosis in multiple tissues,
including skin, mouth, eye, joints, liver, lung, esophagus and GI tract.
About Kadmon Holdings, Inc.
Kadmon Holdings, Inc. is a fully
integrated biopharmaceutical company developing innovative products for
significant unmet medical needs. Our product pipeline is focused on
inflammatory and fibrotic diseases.
