About Kamada
Kamada Ltd. is focused on plasma-derived protein therapeutics for orphan indications, and
has a commercial product portfolio and a robust late-stage product pipeline. The Company
uses its proprietary platform technology and know-how for the extraction and purification
of proteins from human plasma to produce Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) in a highly-purified,
liquid form, as well as other plasma-derived Immune globulins. AAT is a protein derived
from human plasma with known and newly-discovered therapeutic roles given its
immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tissue-protective and antimicrobial properties.
The Company's flagship product is Glassia®, the first and only liquid, ready-to-use,
intravenous plasma-derived AAT product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. Kamada markets Glassia® in the U.S. through a strategic partnership with
Baxalta (formerly Baxter International Inc.'s BioScience business and now part of Shire plc)
and in other counties through local distributors. In addition to Glassia®, Kamada has a
product line of seven other pharmaceutical products administered by injection or infusion,
that are marketed through distributors in more than 15 countries, including Israel, Russia,
Brazil, India and other countries in Latin America and Asia. Kamada has five late-stage
plasma-derived protein products in development, including an inhaled formulation of AAT
for the treatment of AAT deficiency that its MAA was submitted to the EMA after
completing a pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trials in Europe and is in Phase 2 clinical trials in the
U.S. In addition, Kamada's intravenous AAT is in development for other indications such as
type-1 diabetes, GvHD and prevention of lung transplant rejection. Kamada also leverages
its expertise and presence in the plasma-derived protein therapeutics market by
distributing more than 10 complementary products in Israel that are manufactured by
third parties.
