Kalaris Therapeutics (KLRS) said Friday that additional patients from its phase 1a trial of TH103 in neovascular age-related macular degeneration showed improvements in vision and retinal anatomy.
The expanded dataset includes 17 treatment-naive patients and three treatment-experienced patients in the safety cohort, with all 20 patients completing six months of follow-up, according to the company.
Kalaris said the expanded efficacy analysis showed "robust" structural and functional improvements, and no cases of intraocular inflammation were noted among six patients treated with the 2.5 mg dose using product manufactured after process adjustments to reduce impurities.
The company said it continues to enroll and dose patients in an ongoing phase 1b/2 study evaluating a standard four-dose loading regimen of TH103 in treatment-naive patients using an ascending-dose design.
Kalaris said it expects to report initial data from the phase 1b/2 study in H1 of 2027.
Shares of Kalaris Therapeutics were down more than 8% in premarket activity Friday.
