  • 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.

  • 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%).

  • 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.
