The company's lead product candidate, Zetomipzomib (KZR-616), is a selective immunoproteasome inhibitor currently under clinical investigation. Zetomipzomib is being tested in Phase 2 trials for five autoimmune diseases, including lupus nephritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis. In addition, Phase 1b/2 trials are underway for systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis, making it a promising candidate for treating multiple chronic immune-mediated diseases.
