Kaida is advancing targeted anti-cancer hormonal therapies to address the root cause of cancers affecting women. The Company’s lead program, KAD101 is a novel biologic that blocks the prolactin receptor to prevent cancer cell growth signals and incite autophagy initially targeting ovarian cancer. KAD101 has demonstrated encouraging results in a human clinical study with all patients showing tumor reduction with a clean safety profile as a daily injectable. The Company continues to progress the development of KAD101 toward the launch of its Phase 1 study, expected to commence in 2025. Additionally, the Company is advancing KAD102, an enhanced pure antagonist of KAD101, for the treatment of uterine cancer.
