Kadmon Reports Upcoming Milestones and Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2017 Financial Results



NEW YORK, March 6, 2018 – Kadmon Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KDMN) today provided an update on upcoming milestones and recent achievements, and reported financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2017.



In the past year, we have delivered on multiple key milestones, including reporting positive clinical results in cGVHD and IPF. Our successes bring us closer to our goal of developing innovative therapies for major unmet medical needs,” said Harlan W. Waksal, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Kadmon. “We are in a strong financial position to continue our programs in these and other diseases, with an emphasis on defining pathways to regulatory approval.”



2018 Anticipated Key Clinical Milestones:



KD025

·

Continue dialogue with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding the Company’s regulatory strategy for KD025 in various clinical indications

·

Initiate new Phase 2 clinical trial in cGVHD

·

Initiate new Phase 2 clinical trial in IPF

·

Initiate new Phase 2 clinical trial in scleroderma



KD034

·

Continue dialogue with the FDA regarding its review and potential approval of KD034, the Company’s generic trientine hydrochloride formulation, for the treatment of Wilson’s disease



Fourth Quarter 2017 and Recent Highlights



KD025

·

In October 2017, the FDA granted orphan drug designation to KD025 for the treatment of cGVHD. Throughout 2017 and early 2018, Kadmon reported positive results from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with steroid-dependent or refractory cGVHD, achieving clinical responses in approximately two-thirds of patients, with no treatment-related serious adverse events.  



·

In early 2018, Kadmon reported positive findings from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial in IPF, showing that KD025 was well tolerated and demonstrated clinical activity, with a median decline in forced vital capacity (FVC), a measure of lung function, of 48 mL at week 24, compared to a


 

median decline of 175 mL with best supportive care, an absolute difference of 127 mL and a relative difference of 73%.



·

Kadmon is designing a Phase 2 clinical trial of KD025 in scleroderma (also known as systemic sclerosis), a disease in which ROCK inhibition has been shown to have significant potential.



Tesevatinib



·

In November 2017, Kadmon initiated a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of tesevatinib for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).



·

In September 2017, Kadmon initiated a Phase 1 dose-finding clinical trial of tesevatinib for the treatment of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD).



KD034



·

In December 2016, Kadmon submitted an ANDA for its bottled generic formulation of trientine hydrochloride. In March 2017, Kadmon submitted a second ANDA for its generic form of trientine hydrochloride in blister packaging that offers room temperature stability. The Company is in dialogue with the FDA regarding the FDA’s review of KD034.
