Kymera Therapeutics said it has received orphan drug designation from regulators for its acute myeloid leukemia treatment.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted the designation for KT-253, which targets a crucial regulator of the most common tumor suppressor and has been shown to rapidly induce cancer cell death.

Orphan-drug designation is a special status given to drugs that show promise for potentially treating rare, or orphan, diseases that have fewer than 200,000 cases a year in the U.S.

Shares slipped 2% to $24.15 in premarket trading.
