Kala Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:KALA) announced that the FDA has granted Fast Track designation for its KPI-012 therapy, aimed at treating persistent corneal epithelial defect (PCED), a rare and serious eye condition affecting approximately 100,000 patients in the U.S. This designation aims to expedite the development and review process, facilitating more frequent interactions with the FDA. KPI-012, based on a human mesenchymal stem cell secretome (MSC-S) platform, seeks to address the unmet medical needs of PCED patients, for whom no approved treatments currently exist. Kala is advancing its Phase 2b clinical trial, with promising initial safety results reported, and aims to present topline data in Q1 2024, potentially using this trial as one of the two pivotal studies required for a Biologics License Application (BLA).
