Inflammation plays a central role in many retinal diseases, often leading to tissue damage and vision loss over time.

KIO-104 is a potent, locally delivered small molecule in development to address retinal inflammation. By targeting inflammation, KIO-104 aims to protect and improve vision in conditions such as posterior non-infectious uveitis, diabetic macular edema and other retinal inflammatory diseases.

The ongoing Phase 2 KLARITY study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of KIO-104 in patients with posterior non-infectious uveitis, diabetic macular edema, and other retinal inflammatory diseases.

At Kiora Pharmaceuticals, we are dedicated to advancing therapies that have the potential to slow, stop, or restore lost vision. Our work is guided by science, but ultimately driven by the patients and families impacted by inherited retinal diseases.

These conditions can affect daily life in profound ways, and too often, treatment options are limited or unavailable. That’s why our team is committed to developing innovative, mutation-agnostic therapies designed to expand possibilities for patients—regardless of their genetic cause.

Every step forward in research brings us closer to a future where more people living with vision loss have access to meaningful treatment options.

Our small-molecule photoswitch — KIO-301 is intended to restore functional vision in patients with late-stage inherited retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa.

As Brian M. Strem, PhD, President & Chief Executive Officer of Kiora Pharmaceuticals explains, KIO-301 is a light‑responsive small molecule that, “literally change[s] shape in the presence or absence of light…capable of going into these retinal ganglion cells… and [turning] them into light‑sensing cells by altering some of their molecular…ion channels.”

This approach bypasses damaged rods and cones, targeting ‘alive’ retinal ganglion cells to enable a novel therapeutic modality for vision reactivation. Learn more about KIO-301 at https://kiorapharma.com/pipeline-science/kio-301/

When season 9 of Love Is Blind premiered on Netflix, viewers met Madison Maidenberg — a blinding eye disease advocate living with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare inherited retinal disease that may lead to vision loss.

Madison serves as a brand ambassador for the Foundation Fighting Blindness, helping to raise awareness and funds for research aimed at treating and curing retinal diseases. Her story is bringing national attention to the lived experiences of people with retinitis pigmentosa and the importance of continued innovation in vision restoration.

At Kiora Pharmaceuticals, we share that mission. We’re developing KIO-301, an investigational therapy designed to help restore lost vision for people affected by inherited retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa.
