Company Overview

Kodiak Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: KOD) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for retinal diseases and other conditions affecting the eye. The company’s research is centered on antibody biopolymer conjugates, a technology designed to extend the duration of action of biologic medicines in ocular tissues and potentially reduce the frequency of administration.

Its lead development program has been tarcocimab tedromer, also known as KSI-301, an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy investigated for retinal vascular diseases, including diabetic macular edema, diabetic retinopathy and neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Kodiak has also pursued KSI-501, a bispecific antibody biopolymer conjugate designed to target both VEGF and interleukin-6 pathways in retinal disease.

Founded in 2009 and based in Palo Alto, California, Kodiak Sciences has focused primarily on research and clinical development rather than commercialized products. The company was founded and led by Victor H. Perlroth, who has served as its chief executive officer and a member of its board. Its clinical development activities have primarily addressed global ophthalmology markets through clinical trials and collaborations.
