  • Kiora Pharmaceuticals disclosed preclinical epilepsy data for ion channel modulator KIO-300, presented June 18-19, 2026 at the Epilepsy Foundation Pipeline Conference.
  • The study showed KIO-300 reduced seizure-like activity in an ex vivo temporal lobe epilepsy model, supporting potential expansion beyond ophthalmology.
  • Effects persisted beyond dosing in the model, suggesting durability without broadly suppressing normal brain electrical signaling.
  • KIO-300 is the active ingredient in KIO-301, the company’s ongoing Phase 2 vision-restoration program in mutation-agnostic retinitis pigmentosa.
