Your Vision Our Mission Kalaris is a
clinical stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of treatments for prevalent retinal diseases Our lead asset, TH103, was invented by Dr. Napoleone Ferrara, whose pioneering research established the
anti-VEGF class of therapies for retinal and oncology diseases, to address major remaining unmet needs TH103 is an anti-VEGF therapeutic specifically engineered to achieve extended intraocular retention with enhanced VEGF inhibition VEGF = Vascular
Endothelial Growth Factor
Potential best in class, dual-action,
anti-VEGF therapeutic TH103 was engineered by Dr. Napoleone Ferrara for extended intraocular retention with enhanced VEGF inhibition Early clinical data from Phase 1a SAD study validates molecular design Ongoing Phase 1b/2 multi-dose trial
Preliminary Phase 1b/2 data expected in 1H 2027 $50MM oversubscribed private placement1 in December 2025 fortified balance sheet Sufficient cash runway to fund company into Q4 2027 1) Private placement included participation from both new and
existing investors, including ADAR1 Capital Management, Coastlands Capital, Invus, RTW Investments, Samsara BioCapital, Woodline Partners LP and others.
Engineered to improve upon a drug
class that has helped millions of patients, with optimization built directly into the molecule itself. Fully humanized, recombinant fusion protein designed for intravitreal delivery, with potential to be best-in-class for neovascular and exudative
retinal diseases. Targets VEGF as a soluble decoy receptor with high affinity for both VEGF and HSPG, engineered for increased and longer-acting activity. HSPG = Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans TH103

age-related macular degeneration in the United States. JAMA ophthalmology, 138(1), 40-47. Best outcomes may require clinic visits as frequently as every 1-2 months for monitoring and injections. Onerous visit frequency Physicians attempt to extend
the time between patient visits, reducing injection frequency. Current Solution Reduced injection frequency can lead to undertreatment and reduced efficacy. Suboptimal Outcomes "Although multiple anti-VEGF therapies exist, unmet need remains
high owing to treatment underutilization "1 regular treatment and monitoring requires substantial time commitment and may contribute to poor compliance. This treatment burden has been recognized by ophthalmologists; consequently,
personalized treatment strategies attempt to balance the treatment burden against potentially reduced efficacy"1

stronger durability outcomes after standard four-dose loading regimen Efficacy: rapid, robust response on BCVA and OCT parameters observed across dose levels at one month Safety: TH103 generally well tolerated, supporting
exploration of further dose-escalation
