Frequently asked questions about KVD001

What is KVD001 used for in diabetic macular edema?

KVD001 is an investigational small molecule developed for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME), a complication of diabetes involving fluid accumulation in the retina. It was studied as an intravitreal injection, meaning it is administered directly into the eye. KVD001 is not approved and remains in clinical development.

What does KVD001 target?

KVD001 targets plasma kallikrein, an enzyme involved in the kallikrein-kinin pathway. By inhibiting this enzyme, KVD001 is designed to reduce vascular permeability and inflammation associated with diabetic macular edema. It is a small molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitor delivered via intravitreal injection.

Who is developing KVD001?

KVD001 is being developed by KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker KALV. KalVista is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating KVD001 in diabetic macular edema.

What phase is KVD001 in?

KVD001 is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed two trials, a Phase 1 single ascending dose study and a Phase 2 study in center-involving diabetic macular edema. There are currently no active trials. KVD001 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is KVD001 in?

KVD001 has been evaluated in two completed clinical trials. NCT03466099 was a Phase 2 study of intravitreal KVD001 in patients with center-involving diabetic macular edema, enrolling 129 participants in the United States. NCT02193113 was a Phase 1 single ascending dose study in DME patients, enrolling 14 participants.

Is KVD001 the same as KVD001 Injection?

Yes, KVD001 Injection is another name for KVD001. Both refer to the same investigational small molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitor developed by KalVista Pharmaceuticals for diabetic macular edema. It is administered as an intravitreal injection directly into the eye.
