MPP Platform Technology: Successful Clinical Translation
• Advancing mucus-penetrating particle (MPP) technology based
ophthalmic product candidates into late stage clinical development
• Translation from research stage technology to positive phase 2 and 3
clinical trials in less than 2 years.
Kala Eyecare Focus: Front, Middle, and Back of the Eye
• Topical formulations target multiple ophthalmic indications affecting the
front, middle, and back of the eye
• KPI-121 hit all primary endpoints in first phase 3 trial in cataract surgery
and hit the primary sign endpoint in initial phase 2 dry eye trial.
• Novel RTKis formulated in MPP technology for retinal disease progressing
toward IND stage development

Kala Topical RTKis to Treat BOE Diseases
• Novel compounds with potent VEGFR2 inhibition and good selectivity
• Demonstrated topical delivery to back of the eye in large animals
• Demonstrated efficacy in VEGF driven rabbit leakage model
KALA PHARMACEUTICALS | Ophthalmology Innovation Summit| April 2015 | Page 8
Clinical Results: Successful Translation of MPP into Patients
• KPI-121 positive clinical results validates MPP technology applicability in
ophthalmology
Kala’s Next Steps:
• Advance development of KPI-121 in dry eye and post operative
inflammation.
• Readout of KPI-121 phase 2 trial in MGD.
• Advance RTKi program to clinical development candidate for VEGF driven
indications.
• Continue discussions with prospective partners regarding KPI-121 and
MPP technology applications in new areas.
Additional Applications: Women’s Health, GI, and Respiratory
• In-vivo data across many classes of compounds show promise in
therapeutic areas beyond ophthalmology.
