  • The company expects to initiate the pivotal study for this new molecule by the end of this year.
  • The new long-acting IL-31 program is complementary to Kindred's tirnovetmab, an interleukin (IL)-31 targeting antibody currently in pivotal efficacy study for the treatment of atopic dermatitis in dogs.
