Corporate presentation summary
12 Jan, 2026Strategic focus and portfolio highlights
Prioritizing novel therapies for cardiovascular diseases, especially recurrent pericarditis, with a strong foundation in ARCALYST and advancing clinical assets like KPL-387 and KPL-1161.
ARCALYST has generated ~$1.5B net revenue since launch, with 2026 revenue guidance of $900–$920M and only ~18% penetration into the multiple recurrence population.
KPL-387, a wholly owned IL-1 antagonist, is in Phase 2/3 trials for recurrent pericarditis, with Phase 2 data expected in 2H 2026; KPL-1161 Phase 1 to start by end of 2026.
Financial strength is underpinned by $414M in year-end 2025 cash reserves and a cash flow positive operating plan.
ARCALYST commercial performance and market dynamics
ARCALYST is the first and only FDA-approved therapy for recurrent pericarditis, with orphan drug exclusivity and a 50/50 profit split with Regeneron.
Q4 2025 net revenue reached $202.1M, representing ~65% YoY growth, with >4,150 prescribers and ~1,200 repeat prescribers.
Penetration into the multiple recurrence population is ~18%, with increasing use in first recurrence patients and strong payer approval.
ARCALYST list price is $25,158/month, with robust patient support programs and a largely commercial payer mix (~65%).
2026 net product sales are expected to reach $900–$920M, up from $677.5M in 2025.
Clinical and real-world evidence
ARCALYST reduced pericarditis recurrence risk by 96% in pivotal Phase 3 RHAPSODY trial; long-term extension data show sustained benefit with 97% recurrence-free rate beyond 18 months.
Real-world data confirm a 99.5% reduction in recurrence rates, independent of line of therapy at initiation.
ARCALYST monotherapy provided long-term prevention of recurrence over three years, with 96% of patients recurrence-free.
ACC clinical guidance now recommends IL-1 pathway inhibition as second-line therapy after NSAIDs/colchicine.
