Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Kalaris Therapeutics, Inc. reported a third-quarter 2026 net loss of $11.0 million, compared with $11.9 million in the prior-year quarter. Research and development expense was $8.3 million versus $9.1 million, and general and administrative expense was $3.5 million versus $3.6 million. Basic and diluted net loss per share was $0.46, compared with $0.64.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $82.9 million as of September 30, 2026, versus $118.0 million as of December 31, 2025; the decrease primarily reflected cash used in operating activities. Based on current operating plans, Kalaris expects its September 30 balance to fund operations into 2028. Preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 TH103 study in neovascular age-related macular degeneration are now expected in 2H 2027. The company completed technology transfer from a pilot to a commercial-scale manufacturer, with initial test batches meeting target specifications.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net loss was $33.397 million, compared with $33.440 million for the same period of 2025.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

marketable securities financial
"cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities"
Marketable securities are financial assets — such as publicly traded stocks, bonds, and short-term government bills — that a company can quickly sell for cash at a known price. Investors watch them because they show how much ready cash a company can access without selling core operations, like keeping money in a highly liquid savings account versus being tied up in a house, and they affect short-term risk, financial flexibility, and balance-sheet strength.
Phase 1b/2 medical
"ongoing Phase 1b/2 study of TH103 in nAMD"
Phase 1b/2 is a combined early-stage human study that first checks a drug’s safety and side effects in a small group and then expands to test whether it shows signs of working in patients. Think of it as a product test that first confirms it’s safe to use, then looks for early evidence of benefit; positive results can significantly reduce clinical risk and increase a company’s value, while negative results raise the opposite.

Kalaris Reports Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Business Update

Preliminary data from the ongoing Phase 1b/2 study of TH103 in nAMD is now expected in 2H 2027

Recently completed technology transfer from pilot to commercial-scale manufacturer with test batches meeting target specifications

$82.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2026 now expected to fund operations into 2028

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., November 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)—Kalaris Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: KLRS) (“Kalaris”), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of treatments for prevalent retinal diseases, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026 and provided a business update.

Business Updates

 

  •  

Kalaris continues to enroll a Phase 1b/2, multiple-ascending dose, dose-finding study evaluating up to four monthly loading doses of TH103 in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of repeat doses of TH103 in approximately 60-80 patients at different dose levels and to identify the optimal dose for potential Phase 3 development.

 

  •  

In the third quarter, the pilot manufacturer for clinical supply of TH103 produced a batch that did not meet the applicable release specification for aggregation due to a batch-specific operational issue. A new batch of material is now expected in Q2 2027.

 

  •  

As a result of this supply interruption, data from the Phase 1b/2 study is now expected in 2H 2027, which will include durability data from initial patient cohorts.

 

  •  

Kalaris has now successfully completed the technology transfer from the pilot manufacturer to KBI Biopharma, the drug substance manufacturer selected to deliver the planned commercial-scale supply. Test batches achieved the target specifications required for Phase 3 clinical development.

 

  •  

Potential initiation of a Phase 3 program is now expected in 2028, resulting in an extension of the anticipated cash runway into 2028 and beyond the preliminary Phase 1b/2 data readout.

“Kalaris made meaningful progress in the third quarter,” said Andrew Oxtoby, Chief Executive Officer of Kalaris Therapeutics. “We continue to enroll and dose nAMD patients in the ongoing Phase 1b/2 study. In addition to progressing the clinical trial, we have successfully completed the tech transfer to a new commercial-scale manufacturer, with initial test batches achieving the target specifications. Given the paramount importance of ensuring critical quality attributes at the scale required for Phase 3 and commercial supply, this was a significant accomplishment in Q3 and strengthens our confidence in our future clinical supply.”


Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2026

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: As of September 30, 2026, Kalaris had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $82.9 million, compared with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $118.0 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily a result of cash used in operating activities during the period. Based on its current operating plans, Kalaris expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of September 30, 2026 will be sufficient to fund its operations into 2028.

Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $8.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with $9.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in manufacturing and process development activities, partially offset by an increase in contract research organization and other clinical expenses as Kalaris opened additional investigational sites and enrolled patients in its Phase 1b/2 clinical trial of TH103.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, compared with $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in professional services, consulting and other general and administrative expenses, partially offset by an increase in personnel-related costs.

Net Loss: For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, net loss was $11.0 million compared with a net loss of $11.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2026 was 23,804,981.

About TH103

TH103 is an investigational dual-targeting biologic with the potential to be best-in class for neovascular and exudative retinal diseases. TH103 was engineered by VEGF scientific discoverer Dr. Napoleone Ferrara to achieve extended intraocular retention with enhanced VEGF inhibition through optimized binding to VEGF receptor 1 ligands and concurrent heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) anchoring. It is a fully humanized, recombinant fusion protein designed for intravitreal delivery, with potential applications as a treatment for exudative and/or neovascular retinal diseases, such as neovascular Age-related Macular Degeneration (nAMD), diabetic eye disease and retinal vein occlusion. TH103 is currently being investigated in a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial in patients with nAMD.

About Kalaris

Kalaris Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of treatments for prevalent retinal diseases. Founded by renowned scientist Dr. Napoleone Ferrara, whose pioneering research led to the development of anti-VEGF therapy, the company is committed to advancing novel therapeutic approaches for patients with sight-threatening retinal conditions with major unmet medical needs.
