Kala Pharmaceuticals

Weaving along Hawaii’s Na Pali Coast is the famous, breathtaking Kalalau trail. This trail is not only notable for its strenuous path and terrain that is difficult to traverse, but also known for its unsurpassed beauty. Kalalau was early inspiration for us, today representing our innovative spirit and deep commitment to advancing the treatment of eye diseases.

Kala is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare diseases of the eye. Kala’s biologics-based investigational therapies utilize Kala’s proprietary Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome (MSC-S) platform. Kala’s lead product candidate, KPI-012, is in clinical development for the treatment of persistent corneal epithelial defect (PCED), a rare disease of impaired corneal healing, which has received orphan drug designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Kala is also targeting KPI-012 for the treatment of Partial Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency and ocular manifestations of moderate-to-severe Sjögren’s and plans to initiate preclinical studies to evaluate the utility of its MSC-S platform for retinal degenerative diseases, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Stargardt Disease.
