Rhea-AI Summary

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.
