Summary

Detailed description

The present study is designed to follow-up on pre-clinical observations that administration of KC706 is associated with prevention of the development of lesions in a mouse model of PV. Patients participating in this study will be those with active disease in spite of ongoing treatment with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressive agents. The dose chosen for this clinical study is 300 mg once daily. The primary assessment of interest will be pemphigus lesion status during dosing with KC706.
