Kiora gets US patent for KIO-201 use with antibiotics for eye wound healing

Kiora Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:KPRX) said it was granted a U.S. patent covering hydrogel-based sustained release platforms, including KIO-201, which helps in controlled release of antibiotics to treat eye diseases. The Salt Lake City-based company added that the patent — No. 11,376,214 — relates to non-blurring, antibiotic-containing hydrogel compositions which have an extended contact time on the eye and have potential to improve the health of the ocular surface for accelerated wound healing. Kiora noted that KIO-201 is a chemically modified form of the natural polymer hyaluronic acid, formulated as an eye drop aimed to accelerate natural corneal wound healing. "In addition to potentially repairing corneal wounds as a standalone treatment, we see opportunities to employ our technology in combination with antibiotics to further accelerate wound healing and reduce post-surgical complications, including infections," said Kiora President and CEO Brian Strem.
