Beyond its approved therapy, KALA Bio is advancing a pipeline of investigational drug candidates targeting inflammatory and degenerative eye conditions. These include formulations under development for dry eye disease and post-operative ocular inflammation, each leveraging the company’s nanoparticle platform to achieve higher local drug concentrations while potentially reducing systemic exposure.
