Of the 14,000 annual patients with multiple recurrences, there is a high turnover of ~50% of patients each year, meaning ongoing opportunities to ensure diagnosis and targeted treatment

Pricing Access Distribution
ARCALYST list price of $25,158 per month
Based on first and only FDA-approved therapy for recurrent pericarditis, in-line with specialty biologics with Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug designation
Helping to ensure patient affordability and access to treatment is one of our core principles and to this end, we offer a suite of programs to support affordability to eligible patients who are prescribed ARCALYST; eligible patients are able to get ARCALYST for a copay of as low as $0
Kiniksa's goal is to maintain rapid and broad access to ARCALYST for patients with Recurrent Pericarditis, CAPS, and DIRA
Payer mix for ARCALYST is largely commercial (>60%)
Payer engagement has increased awareness of recurrent pericarditis and the differentiated value of ARCALYST
The Kiniksa OneConnect program is a personalized treatment support program for patients prescribed ARCALYST
ARCALYST is distributed through a closed network of designated specialty pharmacies and the Veterans Affairs
The distribution network for ARCALYST was developed to provide a high and consistent level of patient support with broad access. Network pharmacies provide customized services to support patients

The vast majority of surveyed HCPs report that an efficacious IL-1α & IL-1β inhibitor with the target profile of KPL-387 would be best positioned to address unmet needs of patients living with recurrent pericarditis and is likely to expand the market
Key Needs Filled
Less frequent dosing
Streamlined preparation
Patient-friendly administration
~75%
~70%
Patient Preferences
Of all RP patients prefer the KPL-387 target profile over available commercial and investigational therapies
Of all RP patients would be willing to stay on a monthly autoinjector for longer, with fewer missed doses, compared to a weekly subcutaneous dosing presentation
~92%
HCP Preferences
Report high likelihood of prescribing KPL-387 for new patients, in the context of available commercial and investigational therapies
Current ARCALYST patients demonstrate high compliance and adherence, but HCPs receptive to switching upon patient request
~75%
Of ARCALYST-naïve patients would be more willing to take an injectable therapy if presented in an autoinjector
HCPs indicate a sizable increase in proportion of patients likely to use an IL-1α & β inhibitor if KPL-387 comes to market
"It [would be] easy to use because there is no need to mix and wait for it to work. The autoinjector [would] make it simple. It [would] also be more convenient to take it once a month." - ARCALYST patient
"The dosing regimen of once monthly versus once weekly is a
game changer for patients." - Physician
