Kiora Pharmaceuticals announced its membership in the RARE‑X Vision Consortium, a partnership with Global Genes that aims to accelerate the development of therapies for rare ocular disorders.
The consortium brings together advocacy groups, researchers, and industry partners to identify trial‑ready populations, standardize outcome measures, and share de‑identified patient data. Kiora’s inclusion provides access to a broader patient pool and collaborative research resources that can streamline its clinical programs.
Kiora’s pipeline includes KIO‑301, a molecular photoswitch for inherited retinal diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, choroideremia, and Stargardt disease, and KIO‑104, a therapy for retinal inflammation. Both candidates align closely with the consortium’s focus.
The partnership is expected to support Kiora’s clinical development plans and enhance the likelihood of successful trials, potentially shortening development timelines and improving study design.
Kiora reported a net loss of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, consistent with the same period last year, and ended the quarter with $20.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short‑term investments, projecting resources to last into late 2027.
The company’s market valuation is approximately $8.69 million, indicating a micro‑cap status.
