Krystal Biotech (NASDAQ: KRYS) reported promising preliminary results from its KYANITE-1 study evaluating inhaled KB707 in lung tumor patients. The study showed significant efficacy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, with a 27% objective response rate (ORR) and 73% disease control rate (DCR).
The trial involved 37 patients, including 17 with advanced NSCLC. Among 11 evaluable NSCLC patients, who had received median 4 prior therapy lines, KB707 demonstrated notable results with 7 patients still on treatment.

Based on these positive results, Krystal Biotech has expanded the study to include combination therapy cohorts with anti-PD-1 therapy and chemotherapy. The treatment has been generally well-tolerated with mostly mild to moderate adverse events.
