London – July 28, 2026 – Kiniksa Pharmaceuticals International, plc (Nasdaq: KNSA) (Kiniksa), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing novel therapies for diseases with unmet need, with a focus on cardiovascular indications, today reported second quarter 2026 financial results and recent portfolio execution.

“In the second quarter, Kiniksa continued to drive growth in new and repeat prescribers of ARCALYST in recurrent pericarditis, which led to a meaningful increase in patients on therapy. As a result, we have raised our 2026 ARCALYST net sales guidance to between $980 and $995 million,” said Sanj K. Patel, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Kiniksa. “In our clinical portfolio, KPL-387 Phase 2 data supported initiation of the pivotal Phase 3 trial, PASTORALE, which is now enrolling and dosing patients. We are excited to advance KPL-387 with its target product profile of once-monthly subcutaneous dosing in a liquid formulation. We expect to bring this potential additional treatment option to patients in the 2028/2029 timeframe. Additionally, we continue to develop KPL-1161 with a target profile of once-quarterly dosing and are on track to initiate a Phase 1 trial by the end of this year.”

Portfolio Execution

ARCALYST (IL-1α and IL-1β cytokine trap)

●ARCALYST net product revenue was $243.6 million for the second quarter of 2026.

●As of the end of the second quarter of 2026, approximately 21% of the 14,000 multiple-recurrence patients were actively on ARCALYST treatment.

1

●Since launch, more than 5,000 prescribers have written ARCALYST prescriptions for recurrent pericarditis.

●As of the end of the second quarter of 2026, average total duration of ARCALYST therapy in recurrent pericarditis was approximately 3 years, in line with the median duration of disease.

​

KPL-387 (monoclonal antibody IL-1 receptor antagonist)

●Kiniksa today announced data from an interval analysis of the ongoing KPL-387 Phase 2/3 trial in recurrent pericarditis. The Phase 2 dose-focusing portion of the trial is designed to evaluate the dose response and safety of different subcutaneously (SC) administered KPL-387 dose regimens and to support dose selection for the pivotal Phase 3 portion of the trial.

—Participants in the KPL-387 300 mg SC monthly dose group experienced rapid and sustained reductions in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) pain and inflammation as soon as after the first dose:

—Primary Efficacy Endpoint*

◾Time to Treatment Response1: 4.0 (3.0, 6.0) days.

—Secondary Efficacy Endpoints*

◾Time to Pain Response: 4.0 (3.0, 6.0) days.

◾Time to C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Normalization2: 8.0 (7.0, 9.0) days.

—KPL-387 efficacy was durable throughout the monthly dosing interval.

—KPL-387 was generally well-tolerated, consistent with the well-known safety profile of interleukin-1 (IL-1) pathway inhibition.

●Kiniksa is enrolling and dosing patients in PASTORALE, the pivotal Phase 3 portion of the Phase 2/3 clinical trial.

—PASTORALE is an event-driven, double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized withdrawal (RW) study enrolling up to approximately 85 participants with recurrent pericarditis. PASTORALE is evaluating the efficacy and safety of KPL-387 300 mg SC administered once-monthly in a liquid formulation.

—The primary endpoint is time to first adjudicated pericarditis recurrence during the RW period.

●Kiniksa is also conducting a supplemental Phase 2 Transition to KPL-387 Monotherapy Dosing & Administration Study evaluating the efficacy and safety of dosing regimens used to transition patients from standard therapies to KPL-387 monotherapy.

​

KPL-1161 (Fc-modified monoclonal antibody IL-1 receptor antagonist)

●Kiniksa is conducting preclinical development activities with KPL-1161 with a target profile of quarterly SC dosing. The company expects to initiate a Phase 1 first-in-human clinical trial by the end of 2026.

​
