NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2021 / Kadmon Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:KDMN) today provided a business update and reported financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2021.

"We continue to ramp up commercial launch preparation activities for belumosudil in anticipation of the PDUFA goal date of August 30, 2021. Labeling discussions with the FDA are progressing and we believe that belumosudil, if approved, will serve a critical, unmet need for patients with cGVHD," said Harlan W. Waksal, M.D., President and CEO of Kadmon. "In addition, we are exploring the therapeutic potential of belumosudil in systemic sclerosis, a disease with similar manifestations to cGVHD. We continue to enroll patients in two separate Phase 2 studies in this indication and expect to present initial data from the open-label study by year-end 2021. In parallel, we are advancing the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of KD033, our anti-PD-L1/IL-15 fusion protein. We look forward to sharing initial safety data from this trial at ASCO in June 2021 and additional clinical data in the fourth quarter of 2021."

2021 Anticipated Key Clinical Milestones:

Belumosudil in chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD)

  • Continue commercial launch readiness activities in anticipation of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of August 30, 2021

Belumosudil in diffuse subcutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc)

  • Continue enrollment in the open-label Phase 2 clinical trial of belumosudil in patients with dcSSc (KD025-215); the Company plans to present initial data from the trial by year-end 2021
  • Continue enrollment in ongoing placebo-controlled Phase 2 clinical trial in dcSSc (KD025-209)

KD033

  • Present initial safety data from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical trial of KD033, the Company's anti-PD-L1/IL-15 fusion protein, in patients with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, to be held June 4-8, 2021; additional clinical data from the trial are expected to be available in Q4 2021
  • Enrollment in the first two dose cohorts of the KD033 Phase 1 trial (KD033-101) was successfully completed; enrollment is ongoing in the next dose level (cohort 3)
