KDMNShares of Kadmon Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:KDMN) soared 20.56% or 75 cents to $4.28 per share on heavy volume after the company has announced that FDA has approved REZUROCK™ (belumosudil) 200 mg once daily (QD) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after failure of at least two prior lines of systemic therapy. With a surprise FDA approval Friday afternoon, Kadmon Holdings is on its way to becoming a commercial drugmaker. With the surge yesterday %K line is again on top over %D line showing the stock is back to new rally. Plus, the price is also back above the 200 day exponential moving average. The technical chart shows the buyers are back and a possible test of February highs around $5.73 is very likely. The 7 analysts offering 12-month price forecasts for KDMN have a median target of 10.00, with a high estimate of 20.00 and a low estimate of 8.00. The median estimate represents a +134.19% increase from the last price of 4.28. The company will host a conference call on Monday, July 19, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. ET to discuss the FDA approval of REZUROCK. I think the stock has room to go higher due to its high short interest. Watch the stock closely on Monday.

$KDMN Set To Keep Climbing$KDMN is set up well both technically and fundamentally. The FDA just approved CLOVIQUE (TM), A Room-Temperature Stable Trientine Hydrochloride Product. This bodes well for the company as it moves forward. According to the press release:
Product Offers Room Temperature Stability, Improving Convenience for Patients
NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 21, 2019 / Kadmon Holdings, Inc. (KDMN) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved CLOVIQUE™ (Trientine Hydrochloride Capsules, USP), a room-temperature stable, branded generic product. Trientine hydrochloride is used for the treatment of Wilson's disease in patients who are intolerant of penicillamine.
CLOVIQUE is the first FDA-approved trientine product in a portable blister pack that offers room temperature stability for up to 30 days, potentially providing patients more convenience. In a recently published survey, approximately 30% of Wilson's disease patients cited product storage as a medication-associated inconvenience of disease management.1
"CLOVIQUE is an innovative treatment option that can be stored at room temperature, which is an added convenience for Wilson's disease patients," said Harlan W. Waksal, M.D., President and CEO of Kadmon. "We are pleased to offer CLOVIQUE to patients in need as part of our goal to develop novel therapies for chronic, rare diseases."
Kadmon has immediately commenced commercialization activities for CLOVIQUE through Kadmon Pharmaceuticals, its wholly-owned commercial operation.
In September 2019, the FDA approved Kadmon's generic Trientine Hydrochloride Capsules USP, 250 mg, available in 100-count bottles. The FDA had determined Kadmon's Trientine Hydrochloride Capsules to be bioequivalent and therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug, Syprine® Capsules, 250 mg.
