About LeonaBio

From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission

SEC filings

LeonaBio is based in Bothell, Washington. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker LONA. The SEC classifies its business as biological products, (no diagnostic substances). In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported a net loss of $105.6m. At that date it held total assets of $92.2m and shareholders' equity of $27.8m.

In its own words

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of novel therapeutics for high unmet medical needs, including treatment-resistant metastatic breast cancer and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”), with the goal of improving patients’ lives.

Following a review of potential therapeutic and business opportunities, we acquired rights to a promising late-stage asset, lasofoxifene, for the potential treatment of ESR1-mutated (“mESR1”) metastatic breast cancer in December 2025. This late-stage program has generated promising clinical data and we believe it represents a unique and exciting opportunity to diversify our pipeline. We believe this program fits well with our later-stage clinical development experience, and complements our in-house asset, ATH-1105, a Phase-2 ready program for the potential treatment of ALS.

The drug development landscape in both oncology and neuroscience is evolving rapidly, driven by breakthroughs in genetics, disease biology, and molecular pathway research. We are leveraging this scientific momentum to advance a pipeline of innovative, late-stage assets both internally developed and strategically in-licensed with the goal of accelerating their path to market and maximizing their clinical and commercial impact.
