Cara Therapeutics' Korsuva injection, approved for treating pruritus in adults with chronic kidney disease, may have its reimbursement period extended to 2027 by the US Medicare and Medicaid Services, potentially boosting the company's stock value. Despite a net loss of $26.7 million in Q1 2023, Cara Therapeutics has launched Kapruvia in several European countries and is progressing with Phase 3 trials for other potential treatments, indicating an active R&D pipeline. The company's financial outlook remains risky with ongoing losses and uncertainties in drug development, leading to a 70% stock devaluation since February. Cara remains a "Sell".
