GLASSIA is the first available ready-to-infuse liquid alpha1-proteinase inhibitor and is
indicated as a chronic augmentation and maintenance therapy in adults with clinically
evident emphysema due to severe congenital AAT deficiency. GLASSIA is administered
intravenously once a week to augment the levels of AAT in the blood. AAT is a protein
derived from human plasma with known and newly discovered therapeutic roles given its
immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tissue protective and antimicrobial properties.
GLASSIA is approved by the FDA and is marketed through a strategic partnership with
Baxalta in the United States.

About Kamada
Kamada Ltd. is focused on plasma-derived protein therapeutics for orphan indications, and
has a commercial product portfolio and a robust late-stage product pipeline. The Company
uses its proprietary platform technology and know-how for the extraction and purification
of proteins from human plasma to produce Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) in a highly-purified,
liquid form, as well as other plasma-derived Immune globulins. AAT is a protein derived
from human plasma with known and newly-discovered therapeutic roles given its
immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, tissue-protective and antimicrobial properties.
The Company's flagship product is GLASSIA®, the first and only liquid, ready-to-use,
intravenous plasma-derived AAT product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration. Kamada markets GLASSIA® in the U.S. through a strategic partnership
with Baxalta (now part of Shire plc) and in other counties through local distributors. In
addition to GLASSIA®, Kamada has a product line of seven other pharmaceutical products
administered by injection or infusion, that are marketed through distributors in more than
15 countries, including Israel, Russia, Brazil, India and other countries in Latin America and
Asia. Kamada has five late-stage plasma-derived protein products in development,
including an inhaled formulation of AAT for the treatment of AAT deficiency for which a
MAA was submitted to the EMA after completing a pivotal Phase 2/3 clinical trials in
Europe. Kamada has also completed its Phase 2 clinical trials in the U.S for the treatment of
AAT deficiency with inhaled AAT. In addition, Kamada's intravenous AAT is in development
for other indications such as type-1 diabetes, GvHD and prevention of lung transplant
rejection. Kamada also leverages its expertise and presence in the plasma-derived protein
therapeutics market by distributing more than 10 complementary products in Israel that
are manufactured by third parties.
