Cara Therapeutics Inc.
Cara Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercialising new chemical entities designed to alleviate pruritus and pain by selectively targeting peripheral kappa opioid receptors (KORs). Cara is developing a novel and proprietary class of product candidates, led by KorsuvaTM (CR845/difelikefalin), a first-in-class KOR agonist that targets the body's peripheral nervous system. In phase-II trials, KorsuvaTM injection has demonstrated statistically significant reductions in itch intensity and concomitant improvement in quality of life measures in haemodialysis patients with moderate-to-severe CKD-aP and is currently being investigated in phase-III trials in haemodialysis patients with CKD-aP. Additionally, CR845/difelikefalin has also demonstrated efficacy in patients with moderate-to-severe pain, without inducing many of the undesirable side effects typically associated with currently available opioid pain therapeutics. *
