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

    -- Ended Quarter with $52.4 million in Cash; Sufficient for Funding Operations into 2Q 2024 --

    ARLINGTON, Mass., Nov. 08, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2022 and provided a corporate update.

    "We continue to advance our proprietary mesenchymal stem cell secretome (MSC-S) platform and expect to submit an investigational new drug (IND) application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the fourth quarter of 2022 for KPI-012 for the treatment of PCED," said Mark Iwicki, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Kala. "Pending IND clearance, we plan to initiate our Phase 2/3 clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2022, marking a significant step toward our goal of delivering the promise of MSC-S-based therapies to people living with rare and severe ocular diseases."

    PCED is a clinically burdensome condition with high unmet needs. It affects approximately 100,000 people in the United States each year and, if left untreated, can lead to infection, corneal ulceration or perforation, scarring, opacification and significant vision loss. Based on its multifactorial mechanism of action and preclinical and clinical data generated to-date, Kala believes KPI-012 may represent a significant advancement in the treatment of PCED and could become the first approved treatment for PCED across all its various etiologies. Kala also plans to explore the potential of its MSC-S platform for other rare corneal disease indications where it believes its secretome-based approach could deliver benefit.

    Third Quarter and Recent Business Highlights:

    Development-Stage Pipeline:

    KPI-012 is a human mesenchymal stem cell secretome, which contains numerous human-derived biofacters, such as growth factors, protease inhibitors, matrix proteins and neurotrophic factors that can potentially correct the impaired corneal healing that is an underlying etiology of multiple severe ocular diseases. Subject to submission and clearance of an IND, Kala plans to initiate a Phase 2/3 clinical trial of KPI-012 in PCED patients during the fourth quarter of 2022 with topline results expected in the first quarter 2024. The Phase 2/3 trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of KPI-012 in PCED patients with a broad range of underlying etiologies.

    Kala has received Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA for KPI-012 for the treatment of PCED.

    In addition, Kala is evaluating the potential of KPI-012 to treat other rare anterior segment diseases as follow-on indications, such as Partial Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency and ocular manifestations of moderate-to-severe Sjögren's. 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.

    Corporate Updates:

    In November 2022, Kala announced the appointment of Marjan Farid, M.D., to its Board of Directors. Dr. Farid, who is currently Professor of Clinical Ophthalmology, Director of Cornea, Refractive & Cataract Surgery, and Vice Chair of Ophthalmic Faculty at the Gavin Herbert Eye Institute, University of California Irvine (UCI), founded the Severe Ocular Surface Disease Center at UCI and is an industry leader in the care and treatment of corneal diseases.

    On October 20, 2022, Kala effected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split of its shares of common stock either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 50 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next whole number.

    Financial Results:

    The financial results 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, transaction costs related to the Alcon transaction, gain or loss on fair value remeasurement of deferred purchase and contingent consideration, gain on sale of the commercial business, loss on extinguishment of debt and other non-cash expenses. 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 September 30, 2022, Kala had cash and cash equivalents of $52.4 million, compared to $44.6 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2022. This increase reflects the net proceeds received from the sale of Kala's commercial portfolio and related intellectual property assets to Alcon Inc., which closed in July 2022, partially offset by cash used in operations. Included in Kala's cash and cash equivalents of $52.4 million as of September 30, 2022 is $2.8 million of cash collected on behalf of Alcon from the sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS following the close of the transaction. Based on its current plans, Kala anticipates that its cash resources as of September 30, 2022 will enable it to fund its operations into the second quarter of 2024. Kala continues to anticipate 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.

    Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results:

    • Net Product Revenues: For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Kala reported net product revenues of $0.4 million, representing approximately one week of net product revenues from sales of EYSUVIS and INVELTYS.

    • Cost of Product Revenues: For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, cost of product revenues was less than $0.1 million representing approximately one week of cost of product revenues as Kala completed the sale of its commercial portfolio to Alcon on July 8, 2022, compared to cost of product revenues of $0.9 million for the same period in 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, transaction costs related to the Alcon transaction, acquired in-process research and development expense, gain or loss on fair value remeasurement of deferred purchase consideration and contingent consideration, gain on fair value remeasurement of deferred purchase consideration, gain on sale of the commercial business, loss on extinguishment of debt and other non-cash expenses, transaction costs related to the acquisition of Combangio, and the impact of the termination of the lease for the Company's former corporate headquarters. 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. 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. 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.
