(&#8220;KindredBio&#8221;) is providing notice that due to a delay in receiving appropriate vendor reagent material, completion of the upcoming pivotal efficacy study for KIND-030, a monoclonal antibody targeting canine parvovirus, is now expected in the first quarter of 2021. Completion of the pivotal efficacy study for the treatment of established parvovirus infection had previously been anticipated by year-end 2020. As previously stated, approval of KIND-030 is subject to regulatory risk and timelines, and there is no set review timeline at the United States Department of Agriculture Center for Veterinary Biologics. Regulatory consultants to KindredBio anticipate possible delays to the regulatory review process due to COVID-19. KindredBio will provide an update on the timing of KIND-030&#8217;s expected approval at the time of announcing the company&#8217;s fourth quarter 2020 results.

Item 8.01    Other Events.
Kindred Biosciences, Inc. ("KindredBio") is providing notice that due to a delay in receiving appropriate vendor reagent material, completion of the upcoming pivotal efficacy study for KIND-030, a monoclonal antibody targeting canine parvovirus, is now expected in the first quarter of 2021. Completion of the pivotal efficacy study for the treatment of established parvovirus infection had previously been anticipated by year-end 2020. As previously stated, approval of KIND-030 is subject to regulatory risk and timelines, and there is no set review timeline at the United States Department of Agriculture Center for Veterinary Biologics. Regulatory consultants to KindredBio anticipate possible delays to the regulatory review process due to COVID-19. KindredBio will provide an update on the timing of KIND-030's expected approval at the time of announcing the company's fourth quarter 2020 results. Regulatory approval and review timeline are subject to the typical risks inherent in such a process.
KIND-030 is being pursued for two indications in dogs: prophylactic therapy to prevent clinical signs of canine parvovirus infection, and treatment of established parvovirus infection. On September 16, 2020, KindredBio reported positive results from its pivotal efficacy study for the prophylactic indication.
