Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals International, Plc
A biopharmaceutical company that makes medicines for inflammatory diseases, including ARCALYST, the first and only FDA-approved therapy for recurrent pericarditis, a painful swelling of the sac around the heart. Kiniksa was founded in 2015 by a group of former colleagues from an earlier biotech firm who reunited to keep developing treatments for rare conditions. The name Kiniksa is an invented, distinctive-sounding corporate word with no traditional meaning.
