Kodiak Sciences (Nasdaq: KOD) lost 47% of its stock market value on Monday after presenting top-line results from three Phase III studies of tarcocimab tedromer, an antibody biopolymer conjugate.

The DAYLIGHT study was a randomized, double-masked, active comparator-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a high intensity dosing regimen of tarcocimab tedromer in 557 treatment-naïve subjects with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
