PALO ALTO, Calif., March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kodiak Sciences Inc. ( KOD ) , today reported recent business highlights and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.
"Kodiak's momentum has continued to build, highlighted by positive Phase 3 topline results from the GLOW2 study and multiple advancing late-stage and pipeline programs that together reinforce the company's differentiated molecules, platform and long term growth strategy," said Victor Perlroth, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Kodiak Sciences ( KOD ).
"The GLOW2 Phase 3 study delivered strong topline results showing meaningful efficacy, safety and durability of Zenkuda (tarcocimab tedromer) in diabetic retinopathy. These results represent a significant validation of the company's ABC platform, and we intend to move on an accelerated timeline toward a multi-indication Biologics License Application (BLA) submission for Zenkuda."
We have also completed enrollment in the Phase 3 DAYBREAK study of both Zenkuda and KSI-501 in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), with approximately 690 subjects enrolled. Topline data is expected in September 2026.
We are also rapidly advancing KSI-101 with enrollment progressing well in the Phase 3 PEAK and PINNACLE studies. Topline results from PEAK are expected in 4Q 2026 and for PINNACLE in 2Q 2027. KSI-101 demonstrated compelling data in the Phase 1b APEX study in patients with macular edema secondary to inflammation (MESI). Final Phase 1b APEX data showed rapid and robust improvements in both vision and retinal anatomy, including high rates of ≥15-letter BCVA gains, early and sustained retinal drying, and encouraging durability. These findings support continued development and highlight the breadth of Kodiak's platform beyond anti-VEGF therapies into inflammatory retinal diseases.
Beyond our lead programs, we continue to expand a diversified pipeline of bispecific antibody candidates, including KSI-102 and KSI-103, targeting key inflammatory pathways, as well as retina duet programs in glaucoma and geographic atrophy. Our duet programs, built on the ABC platform, reflect a strategy to address a broad range of high prevalence retinal diseases with differentiated, multi-targeted approaches.
In parallel, we have made tremendous progress with our digital health and artificial intelligence capabilities through the VETi (Visual Engagement Technology and Imager) platform. Progress across hardware, software and machine learning is enabling the development of an AI-powered wearable headset with applications in retina care, alongside broader opportunities in identity security and cognitive science. This progress is reflective of Kodiak's long term planning and execution towards an enhanced identity as a vision sciences company, integrating proprietary therapeutics and next-generation vision technologies.
Recent Business Highlights
Zenkuda (tarcocimab tedromer)
On March 26, 2026, Kodiak announced positive topline results in GLOW2, the second Phase 3 study in diabetic retinopathy, demonstrating superiority of Zenkuda (tarcocimab tedromer) over sham.
Building on the success of GLOW1 and with all patients on a 6-month dosing interval, Zenkuda demonstrated superiority to sham with 62.5% of Zenkuda-treated patients achieving a ≥2-step improvement in diabetic retinopathy severity score (DRSS) compared to 3.3% of sham-treated patients (p
