About KD025-208

KD025-208 is an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial of KD025 for the treatment of cGVHD, a serious complication following allogeneic bone marrow or stem cell transplantation. The trial is being conducted in adults with steroid-dependent or steroid-refractory cGVHD and active disease. The dose-finding study includes 48 patients divided into three cohorts at different dose levels (KD025 200 mg QD, 200 mg BID and 400 mg QD), enrolled sequentially following a safety assessment of each cohort. As previously reported, in a preliminary analysis of data from the lowest-dose cohort (n=17), KD025 200 mg QD demonstrated clinically meaningful responses, with no drug-related serious adverse events recorded. In October 2017, KD025 received orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for cGVHD.
