    -- Plan to Initiate Phase 2/3 Trial of KPI-012 for Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defect (PCED) in 4Q 2022; Topline Data Expected in 1Q 2024 --

    -- Received $60M Upfront Payment from Sale of EYSUVIS® and INVELTYS® to Alcon Inc. and Significantly Reduced Operating Expenses, Extending Cash Runway into 2Q 2024 --

    -- Conference Call and Webcast at 8:00 a.m. ET --

    ARLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:KALA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research, development and commercialization of innovative therapies for rare diseases of the eye, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

    "We continue to make meaningful progress toward our goal of developing novel medicines that can improve the care and treatment of eye diseases. In July, we completed the sale of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS to Alcon Inc., a business with decades of experience providing market-leading vision care globally, and an ideal acquirer to expand the reach of these assets," said Mark Iwicki, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Kala. "Now, we are focusing our efforts on KPI-012, our mesenchymal stem cell secretome (MSC-S) for the treatment of rare and severe ocular diseases. In addition to the clinical development of KPI-012 for PCED, we believe this product candidate has the potential to treat Partial Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency and ocular manifestations of moderate-to-severe Sjögren's. We also plan to initiate preclinical studies researching the utility of our MSC-S platform technology for retinal degenerative diseases, such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Stargardt Disease."

    Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

    Development-Stage Pipeline:

    KPI-012 is a mesenchymal stem cell secretome, which combines growth factors, protease inhibitors, matrix proteins and neurotrophic factors to potentially correct the impaired corneal healing that is an underlying etiology of multiple severe ocular diseases. Subject to the filing and clearance of an investigational new drug application, Kala plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of KPI-012 in PCED patients in the fourth quarter of 2022. In addition to PCED, Kala is evaluating the potential of KPI-012 for the treatment of Partial Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency and ocular manifestations of moderate-to-severe Sjögren's, both of which are areas of significant unmet medical need.

    Persistent corneal epithelial defect (PCED) is a persistent non-healing corneal defect or wound that is refractory to conventional treatments. If left untreated PCED can lead to infection, corneal ulceration and/or perforation, scarring, opacification and significant vision loss. PCED is a disease of impaired corneal healing and can be the result of numerous etiologies, including (but not limited to) neurotrophic keratitis, infectious keratitis, surgical or nonsurgical trauma, and significant ocular surface diseases of various causes. In PCED, the normal corneal healing process is impaired due to an imbalance of the key biomolecules that orchestrate the wound healing process. Kala believes that effective treatment of PCED across the various etiologies requires a multifactorial mechanism of action, such as that of KPI-012 .   PCED is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 100,000 cases per year in the United States and 238,000 cases per year in the United States, European Union and Japan combined. KPI-012 has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of PCED.

    Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD) is an ocular surface disease characterized by the loss or deficiency of limbal epithelial stem cells, which play an essential role in generation and repopulation of corneal epithelial cells and maintenance of corneal clarity and integrity. Due to their integral role in epithelial cell generation and repopulation, LSCD can result in recurrent epithelial breakdown, neovascularization, conjunctivalization, inflammation and other sequalae that can lead to loss of corneal clarity and vision impairment. Approximately 70% of LSCD patients – or about 70,000 patients in the United States – have partial deficiency of the limbal stem cells (Partial LSCD). There are currently no approved pharmaceutical products for the treatment of Partial LSCD, and while current disease management techniques may be able to impact certain sequalae, they do not address the underlying pathology and often do not provide significant clinical benefit. Patients with Partial LSCD could be appropriate candidates for a cell-free regenerative therapy such as KPI-012, which acts to maintain the integrity of the ocular surface and avoid the vision impairment and pain associated with LSCD. Partial LSCD is estimated to affect approximately 70,000 patients in the United States.

    Sjögren's is a chronic, multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by insufficient fluid production in certain glands of the body leading to substantial dryness, primarily dry eye and dry mouth. Approximately 90% of Sjögren's patients suffer from ocular manifestations and can experience significant ocular symptoms, which impact their daily life and productivity. As a result, the quality of life in Sjögren's patients can be significantly diminished. Despite currently available treatments, many Sjögren's patients do not achieve significant improvement in their ocular symptoms. There is a substantial need for new therapies that can address the ocular symptoms, visual impairment and quality of life for the approximately 95,000 moderate-to-severe Sjögren's patients in the United States.

    Kala also plans to initiate preclinical studies for KPI-014, the Company's program evaluating the utility of its MSC-S platform for retinal degenerative diseases such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Stargardt Disease, with the goal of selecting a retinal indication for development in the second half of 2023.

    In connection with the decision to focus research and development efforts on KPI-012, KPI-014 and its MSC-S platform, Kala ceased the development of its other preclinical pipeline programs, including KPI-287, its receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators.

    Corporate:

    In July 2022, Kala completed the sale of its commercial portfolio and related intellectual property assets to Alcon Inc. The sale included EYSUVIS, the first and only FDA approved medicine for the short-term (up to two weeks) treatment of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease, and INVELTYS, a twice-a-day corticosteroid for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. Kala received an upfront payment of $60 million in cash at closing and is eligible to receive up to $325 million in commercial-based sales milestones.

    Financial Results:

    The financial results and guidance below contain both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures. The non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction costs related to the Alcon transaction, transaction costs related to the Combangio transaction, gain or loss on fair value remeasurement of deferred purchase and contingent consideration, acquired in-process research and development and the impact of the termination of the lease for the Company's former corporate headquarters. Anticipated severance costs are also excluded for the purposes of estimating projected non-GAAP total operating expenses for the second half of 2022. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below; for a full reconciliation of Kala's GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the tables at the end of this press release.

    • Cash Position: As of June 30, 2022, Kala had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $44.6 million, compared to $92.1 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021. This decrease reflects cash used in operations. Kala's cash position as of June 30, 2022 does not include net cash received in July 2022 from the sale of its commercial business to Alcon Inc. Based on its current plans, Kala anticipates that its cash resources as of June 30, 2022, together with the net proceeds from the Alcon transaction and associated reduction in operating expenses, will enable it to fund its operations into the second quarter of 2024. Following the closing of the Alcon transaction, the Company reduced its corporate infrastructure, and anticipates approximately a 50% reduction in non-GAAP operating expenses in the second half of 2022 as compared to the first half of 2022 and a 60-70% reduction in non-GAAP total operating expenses for the full year 2023 compared to the full year 2021.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

    In this press release, the financial results of Kala are provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and using certain non-GAAP financial measures. The items included in GAAP presentations but excluded for purposes of determining non-GAAP financial measures for the periods presented in this press release are stock-based compensation expense, non-cash interest expense, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, transaction costs related to the Alcon transaction, transaction costs related to the Combangio transaction, gain or loss on fair value remeasurement of deferred purchase consideration and contingent consideration, acquired in-process research and development and the impact of the termination of the lease for the Company's former corporate headquarters. Anticipated severance costs are also excluded for the purposes of estimating projected non-GAAP total operating expenses for the second half of 2022. Management believes this non-GAAP information is useful for investors, taken in conjunction with Kala's GAAP financial statements, because it provides greater transparency and period-over-period comparability with respect to Kala's operating performance. These measures are also used by management to assess the performance of the business. Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures only as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, or as superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are unlikely to be comparable with non-GAAP information provided by other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures, please refer to the table at the end of this press release. A quantitative reconciliation of projected total non-GAAP operating expenses to total GAAP operating expenses is not available without unreasonable effort primarily due to Kala's inability to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of future stock-based compensation expense.
