About Kodiak Sciences

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

Kodiak Sciences is based in Palo Alto, California and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker KOD. The SEC classifies its business as biological products, (no diagnostic substances). In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported a net loss of $230.0m. At that date it held total assets of $351.5m and shareholders' equity of $157.4m.

In its own words

Since its founding in 2009, Kodiak Sciences Inc. (“Kodiak,” the “Company,” “we” or “our”) has developed a new technology platform, the Antibody Biopolymer Conjugate (“ABC”) platform, for retinal medicines. Our goal is to prevent and treat the major causes of blindness by developing and commercializing next-generation therapeutics to address multiple unmet needs on the spectrum of retinal diseases.

Kodiak has developed three late-stage clinical programs based on its internal discovery and development engine. The lead investigational medicine, tarcocimab tedromer (“Zenkuda” or “KSI-301” or “tarcocimab”), is an anti-VEGF therapy built on Kodiak's proprietary ABC platform. Zenkuda has a mean ocular half-life in humans of 20 days, approximately three times longer than approved anti-vascular endothelial growth factor ("VEGF") therapies, and is designed to maintain effective drug levels in ocular tissues for longer. Zenkuda is being developed as a mainstay intravitreal biologic monotherapy that provides high immediacy, driven by the enhanced formulation, and high durability, driven by the ABC platform and our science of durability, with the ultimate objective of providing, once approved, a flexible 1-month through 6-month label for all patients with retinal vascular disease (treatment-naïve, treatment-experienced, mild patients and severe patients).
