Core Business and Products

Tarcocimab tedromer has shown consistent durability with fewer injections required, making it a promising option for patients. The company is actively advancing KSI-301 through various phases of clinical trials, showing significant promise in treating conditions such as wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).
Kodiak’s second innovative clinical program, KSI-501, is a first-in-class bispecific protein that targets both IL-6 and VEGF, intended to address inflammatory and high-prevalence retinal diseases. Additionally, Kodiak is developing KSI-101, the unconjugated bispecific protein portion of KSI-501, aimed at treating retinal inflammatory conditions.
