Kezar Life Sciences reports Q2 EPS (34c), consensus (32c)

“This quarter, we’ve been laser-focused on executing on our three ongoing clinical trials to validate the broad potential of our product candidates,” said John Fowler, CEO. “Now actively recruiting patients, our PALIZADE and PORTOLA clinical trials are designed to demonstrate zetomipzomib’s potential to be a steroid-sparing, immunomodulating treatment for multiple autoimmune conditions. Our first-in-class protein secretion inhibitor, KZR-261, continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile as we proceed with our dose-escalation study, and represents only the first of several potential assets generated by our Sec61 translocon inhibition platform. I commend the Kezar team for their hard work and unwavering commitment to our mission of delivering novel treatments to patients fighting difficult-to-treat chronic diseases.”
