The company ended Q4 2024 with $168.1 million in cash, expected to support operations into 2026. The Q4 net loss was $44.1 million ($0.84 per share), compared to $59.5 million in Q4 2023.
Key developments include two Phase 3 studies for tarcocimab: GLOW2 and DAYBREAK, with topline data expected in 1Q and 2Q 2026 respectively. The company plans to file a single BLA in 2026 for wet AMD, retinal vein occlusion, and diabetic retinopathy indications. KSI-501 is being evaluated in the DAYBREAK study, while KSI-101 received FDA Orphan Drug Designation and is progressing in the APEX Phase 1b trial.
R&D expenses decreased to $31.8 million in Q4 2024 from $46.6 million in Q4 2023, while G&A expenses reduced to $14.4 million from $16.7 million year-over-year.
Kodiak Sciences (KOD) has completed enrollment in its GLOW2 Phase 3 clinical trial of tarcocimab tedromer for diabetic retinopathy (DR). The study successfully randomized over 250 patients, surpassing the enrollment target. Topline clinical data is expected in Q1 2026, following the 48-week treatment duration.
The GLOW2 design mirrors the successful GLOW1 study, with an additional loading dose for provider flexibility. This represents Kodiak's second registrational study in DR. The company plans to file a single BLA for tarcocimab covering wet AMD, DR, and RVO after receiving DAYBREAK topline data in Q2 2026.
The treatment shows promise with only 4 doses required in Year 1 and bi-annual dosing thereafter, addressing the current challenge where less than 1% of DR patients receive treatment due to the high frequency of injections required with existing therapies.

The innovative 'duet' therapy targets both neuroinflammation and elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma treatment. It specifically targets the NLRP3 inflammasome while incorporating an IOP-lowering molecule, designed for quarterly dosing. This approach aims to address the underlying mechanism of optic nerve damage in glaucoma, which affects approximately 76 million people worldwide.
Dr. Dolly Chang, Chief Scientific Officer, will present 'Addressing Optic Neuropathy Through Neuroinflammation Modulation and IOP Lowering with the ABCD Platform: A Polymedicine Approach to Glaucoma' as part of the session 'Beyond IOP: Targeting Neuroprotection and Vision Restoration.'
