LeonaBio, Inc.LONA
Health Care

Advances lasofoxifene for ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer alongside ATH-1105 for ALS. The clinical-stage company relies on licensed rights for lasofoxifene outside Asia and certain Middle East countries.

Develops a pair of clinical-stage small-molecule programs: lasofoxifene for ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer and ATH-1105 for ALS. Lasofoxifene is being studied with abemaciclib in ELAINE-3, while ATH-1105 is being prepared for an ALS clinical study.

The oncology program was in-licensed from Sermonix and Ligand; the company holds development and commercialization rights outside Asia and certain Middle East countries. Its portfolio therefore spans oncology and neurodegeneration rather than a single therapeutic area.

Operations are based in Bothell, Washington, with a small development team. Clinical execution and territorial license rights for lasofoxifene shape the business.
