description: "Kala Bio reported a narrowed Q2 net loss of $1.58 million, down from $11.16 million year-over-year. Total operating expenses dropped to $1.72 million, driven by significant reductions in R&D and general/administrative costs due to lower employee-related and stock-based compensation. Interest expense was nil as no indebtedness remained under the Oxford Finance loan agreement. The company continues shifting toward an on-premises AI platform-as-a-service model centered on the licensed Researgency agentic AI platform."
