Kodiak Sciences: Shares Up On Positive Eye Disease Data - But I Remain On Sidelines

Summary Kodiak Sciences (KOD) surged after positive Phase 3 GLOW2 data for Zenkuda in diabetic retinopathy, demonstrating strong efficacy and risk reduction. KOD plans BLA submissions for Zenkuda across DR, RVO, and Wet AMD, targeting a $15bn market dominated by Roche and Regeneron, with less frequent dosing as a differentiator. Despite robust clinical progress and a 1,300% one-year rally, I maintain a Hold rating due to funding needs, potential dilution, and a congested competitive landscape. Market adoption risks, incumbent strength, and possible near-term fundraising temper enthusiasm, even as pipeline data continues to impress. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Kodiak Sciences: Anti-VEGF Could Win Nicely On Retinal Disorders

Summary Kodiak Sciences basically uses a novel biopolymer conjugate platform to develop more durable, next-generation retinal disease therapies. Today, KOD’s pipeline includes Phase 3 candidates for DR, RVO, and wet AMD, targeting an $18 billion TAM by 2028. The main catalyst to watch now is their upcoming pivotal data in 2026 that could lead to FDA approval by 2027. KOD also recently partnered up with Nona Biosciences to enhance its ability to develop multi-target, human monoclonal antibodies. From a valuation perspective, I also think KOD trades near cash value with a strong runway into 2026. So, I believe it’s a decent “Buy” at these levels. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Kodiak: Tarcocimab Faces High Barriers To Entry Despite Resurrection (Rating Upgrade)

Summary Kodiak's stock surged 160% since September 2023, despite initial setbacks with tarcocimab in diabetic macular edema studies due to unexpected cataract development. Tarcocimab showed superiority over sham and better tolerability in a Phase 3 diabetic retinopathy trial, prompting Kodiak to resurrect the asset and initiate more pivotal trials. My previous recommendation was "sell" due to high risk and limited upside, but recent positive data and clinical advancements warrant a reassessment. KOD merits a "hold" ahead of key developments in their clinical trials, but this isn't for the faint of heart and works best within a barbell portfolio. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

GreenWood Investors - Kodiak Sciences: The Busted Biotech World

Summary Kodiak Sciences busted earlier this year as its first of six pivotal Phase 3 trials on its lead compound, tarcocimab, failed its very poorly designed clinical trial. Subsequent to us taking a stake, Kodiak announced positive data on its most recent registration trial BEACON. Shares have perked up since announcing the BEACON top line data. We are well-aligned with the insiders at the company and the improving fundamentals, we can’t really just “sit this out,” until market conditions improve. The following segment was excerpted from this fund letter. Kodiak Sciences (KOD) A great example of companies that can perform in any environment is busted biotech world. One of the sectors undergoing the most pain in the recent year has been biotech, where we have invested in since 2004. Subsequent to the quarter end, we added a second company to our portfolio, and are actively engaged in researching more busted biotechs. Both our newest, Kodiak Sciences (KOD) and MEI Pharma (MEIP) have important regulatory catalysts in the very near future, and they have ample cash to get them through to the value inflection catalyst points. These are the types of names that can perform in any economic environment. The downside is protected by the cash position, and yes, while those cash positions are being spent on funding drug development, the long runways give us ample time to realize these value inflection milestones. We have been buyers of both companies as the market remains relatively indifferent to the looming regulatory updates. Kodiak Sciences busted earlier this year as its first of six pivotal Phase 3 trials on its lead compound, tarcocimab (formerly KSI-301), failed its very poorly designed clinical trial. The company’s drug will fill a significant unmet medical need, particular for diabetic and elderly patients with macular edema who have given up going to their doctor every 1-2 months to get their eye injected with Regeneron’s EYLEA. Industry research suggests that well over half of patients have chosen deteriorating vision over the inconvenience of getting their eyes injected every 1-2 months. That’s where tarcocimab comes in. In recent trials, even the “failed” trial, it has shown that 60-70% of patients can go five months or longer while maintaining the same significantly improved vision. While there are multiple therapies available for these patients, there are none that have the durability of tarcocimab. Subsequent to us taking a stake, Kodiak announced positive data on its most recent registration trial BEACON. Tarcocimab seeks to disrupt a $13 billion industry, but more importantly, fill an important gap in the macular edema market. In our conversations with doctors actively engaged in research & clinical trials, they are very eager to have a drug that they can dose less frequently. Shares have perked up since announcing the BEACON top line data, but given they still trade below cash levels, they give us a lot of upside as subsequent trials prove out that the drug works. Given the rest of the pivotal trials will read out in the next nine months, we won’t have to wait long until tarcocimab is able to serve the significant unmet medical need, and file for approval with the FDA next year. We also expect a very important update to MEIP’s regulatory strategy which will alleviate market concerns on its own drug’s timeliness to market. While many catalysts depend on a healthy market environment to play out, these do not. They can perform in any economic scenario. Trying to predict with accuracy when the stock will reflect the underlying developments is impossible. But we do know that if you miss the most material upside days of certain stocks, the realized returns are significantly more mediocre. To the extent we are well-aligned with the insiders at the company and the improving fundamentals, we can’t really just “sit this out,” until market conditions improve.

Kodiak Sciences: Potential For Comeback After Trial Setback

Results from the BEACON study, which is using KSI-301 for the treatment of patients with retinal vein occlusion, are expected by Q3 of 2022. The global retinal vein occlusion market is estimated to be worth $25.66 billion by 2028. Additional trial readouts using new dosing schedules such as diabetic macular edema, non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and treatment naive Wet-AMD are expected in 2023. Kodiak Sciences had $671.7 million in cash as of March 31, 2022, enough cash to fund operations for at least the next 12 months.

Kodiak Sciences: KSI-301 Disappoints

Lead asset KSI-301 is being tested in six pivotal trials in retinal diseases including wet AMD, diabetic macular edema, retinal vein occlusion and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Topline wet AMD data was released and KSI-301 failed to show non-inferiority against standard of care treatment Regeneron’s (REGN) Eylea in improvement in visual acuity. The study did not meet the primary endpoint. While KSI-301 appears safe and effective, it may not become a blockbuster.

Highlighting Kodiak Sciences: A Great Buy Here Ahead Of Phase 3 Wet AMD Data For KSI-301 This Quarter

KSI-301 has shown higher retinal bioavailability and longer half-life than the comparator for this Phase 3 trial, the blockbuster drug Eylea (Aflibercept). Kodiak is attempting to prove non-inferiority in efficacy as shown by BCVA at 1 year vs. Eylea while showing the advantage of less frequent dosing. The first price target is $90 after positive data from the wet AMD Phase 3 trial this quarter or 70% upside potential in the stock (implied move from the options).
