About KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
KalVista
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company focused on the
discovery, development, and commercialization of small molecule protease
inhibitors for diseases with significant unmet need. The initial focus
is on inhibitors of plasma kallikrein, which is an important component
of the body’s inflammatory response and which, in excess, can lead to
increased vascular permeability, edema and inflammation. KalVista has
developed a proprietary portfolio of novel, small molecule plasma
kallikrein inhibitors initially targeting hereditary angioedema (HAE)
and diabetic macular edema (DME). The Company has created a structurally
diverse portfolio of oral plasma kallikrein inhibitors and is advancing
multiple drug candidates into Phase 1 clinical trials for HAE. The
Company has selected KVD900 as its program to be advanced as an
on-demand therapy for acute HAE attacks, and anticipates commencing a
Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in HAE patients in late 2018. In DME,
KalVista’s most advanced program, an intravitreally administered plasma
kallikrein inhibitor known as KVD001, began a Phase 2 clinical trial in
2017 that is anticipated to report data in the second half of 2019.
