Comment
This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the previously filed Schedule 13D filed by Baker Bros. Advisors LP (the "Adviser"), Baker Bros. Advisors (GP) LLC (the "Adviser GP"), Julian C. Baker and Felix J. Baker (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Except as supplemented herein, such statements, as heretofore amended and supplemented, remain in full force and effect. The Adviser GP is the sole general partner of the Adviser. Pursuant to management agreements, as amended, among the Adviser, Baker Brothers Life Sciences, L.P. ("Life Sciences") and 667, L.P. ("667", and together with Life Sciences, the "Funds"), and their respective general partners, the Funds' respective general partners relinquished to the Adviser all discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held by the Funds, and thus the Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the Funds' investments and voting power over investments. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable.

Item 4
Purpose of transaction
Item 4 of Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended, as the case may be, as follows: The disclosures in Item 5 below are incorporated herein by reference. This Amendment No. 12 is being filed to report the acquisition of common stock ("Common Stock") of Kodiak Sciences Inc. (the "Issuer") reported in Item 5(c) that resulted in a more than 1 percent change in beneficial ownership. The disclosure regarding the purchases in Item 5(c) below is incorporated herein by reference. The Funds hold securities of the Issuer for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons or their affiliates may purchase additional securities or dispose of securities in varying amounts and at varying times depending upon the Reporting Persons' continuing assessments of pertinent factors, including the availability of shares of Common Stock or other securities for purchase at particular price levels, the business prospects of the Issuer, other business investment opportunities, economic conditions, stock market conditions, money market conditions, the attitudes and actions of the board of directors of the Issuer (the "Board") and management of the Issuer, the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of securities of the Issuer and other plans and requirements of the particular entities. The Reporting Persons may discuss items of mutual interest with the Issuer's management, other members of the Board and other investors, which could include items in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Depending upon their assessments of the above factors, the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may change their present intentions as stated above and they may assess whether to make suggestions to the management of the Issuer regarding financing, and whether to acquire additional securities of the Issuer, including shares of Common Stock (by means of open market purchases, privately negotiated purchases, exercise of some or all of the Stock Options (as defined below) to purchase Common Stock of the Issuer) or to dispose of some or all of the securities of the Issuer, including shares of Common Stock, under their control. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, at the present time, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals with respect to any extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer including, without limitation, those matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Company context
Kodiak (NASDAQ: KOD) is a precommercial biotechnology company and a leader in retinal medicines development. We plan to file a biologics license application (BLA) for Zenkuda in the fourth quarter of 2026. We believe Zenkuda is a potential new first-in-class investigational therapy for patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO). In the recent DAYBREAK Phase 3 study comparing Zenkuda with standard of care aflibercept, patients treated with Zenkuda showed strong immediacy of clinical effect through the loading phase, comparable vision gains and fluid control through the one-year primary endpoint, with a majority of patients treated on an every 6 month dosing interval using a strict treat-to-dryness real world retreatment approach. We also remain on track to announce topline data in December 2026 for KSI-101 in the Phase 3 PEAK study in patients with macular edema secondary to inflammation (MESI), in which KSI-101 is being evaluated for superiority against sham-treated patients. We are planning to file a BLA for KSI-101 in the second quarter of 2027. Looking to Zenkuda and KSI-101, we have the potential to receive marketing authorization for two retinal medicines by the end of calendar year 2027 or early 2028. Additionally, we continue to accelerate our development plan for tabirafusp-ted in the currently enrolling ALTO Phase 3 study exploring the potential for tabirafusp-ted, our
