AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Kodiak announces first patients enrolled in the global ALTO Phase 3 trial evaluating KSI-501 for diabetic macular edema (DME). The bispecific IL-6/VEGF therapy aims to deliver deeper, more durable control than anti-VEGF alone, with two dosing regimens and ~910 patients. A September 2026 DAYBREAK topline adds near-term upside if dual inhibition proves superior.
