About Lpath:

Lpath, Inc., headquartered in San Diego, is the category leader in bioactive-lipid-targeted therapeutics, an emerging field of medical science whereby bioactive signaling lipids are targeted for treating important human diseases. ASONEP™, an antibody against Sphingosine-1-Phosphate (S1P), is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial in cancer and also holds promise against multiple sclerosis and various other disorders. ASONEP is being developed with the support of partner Merck-Serono as part of a worldwide exclusive license.

Lpath’s third product candidate, Lpathomab™, is an antibody against Lysophosphatidic Acid (LPA), a key bioactive lipid that has been long recognized as a valid disease target (cancer, neuropathic pain, fibrosis). The company’s unique ability to generate novel antibodies against bioactive lipids is based on its ImmuneY2™ drug-discovery engine, which the company is leveraging as a means to expand its pipeline.
