In this Motley Fool Live video recorded on Aug. 25, 2021, Motley Fool contributors Keith Speights and Brian Orelli discuss whether or not Cara stock is a buy after the big news. Another biotech had some good news on the FDA front: Cara Therapeutics, ticker there is CARA, and its partner Vifor Pharma (OTC: GNHAY) announced on Monday that the FDA had approved Korsuva for trading moderate to severe pruritus associated with chronic kidney disease, and this is in adults undergoing dialysis.
