About Cara Therapeutics
Cara Therapeutics is a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing
new chemical entities designed to alleviate pruritus by selectively
targeting peripheral kappa opioid receptors, or KORs. Cara is
developing a novel and proprietary class of product candidates, led
by KORSUVA™ (CR845/difelikefalin), a first-in-class KOR agonist
that targets the body’s peripheral nervous system, as well as
certain immune cells. In two Phase 3 trials, KORSUVA Injection has
demonstrated statistically significant reductions in itch intensity
and concomitant improvement in quality of life measures in
hemodialysis patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney
disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). Cara has successfully
completed its Phase 2 trial of Oral KORSUVA for the treatment of
pruritus in patients with CKD and is currently conducting Phase 2
trials of Oral KORSUVA in atopic dermatitis and primary biliary
cholangitis patients with moderate-to-severe pruritus.
The FDA has conditionally accepted KORSUVA™ as
the trade name for difelikefalin injection. CR845/difelikefalin is
an investigational drug product and its safety and efficacy have
not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
