“We recently received Fast Track designation for KVD900, illustrating the high level of unmet need in the HAE community for efficacious and safe, orally-delivered therapies,” said Andrew Crockett, CEO of KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. says in an operational update and financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended 31 October 2019. “Our Phase 2 clinical trial for KVD900 continues, and we expect to have data from that trial in 2020. The Phase 2 clinical trial of KVD001 in DME will provide data this month.”
