"We are honored to share the body of clinical and scientific evidence supporting lasofoxifene as a potential treatment for metastatic breast cancer with many of the world’s leading breast cancer experts," said Mark Litton, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of LeonaBio. "Patients with metastatic breast cancer continue to face significant challenges as resistance emerges and treatment options become limited. We believe lasofoxifene has the potential to redefine the treatment paradigm for these patients through its differentiated mechanism of action and promising clinical profile. As we advance toward completion of enrollment in our pivotal Phase 3 ELAINE-3 trial, we remain focused on obtaining the data needed to bring a potential new therapeutic option to patients as quickly as possible."
Jessica Tao, M.D., a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, will present on lasofoxifene, including the Phase 3 ELAINE-3 clinical trial of lasofoxifene in combination with abemaciclib in the treatment of ER-positive (ER+), HER2-negative, ESR1-mutated metastatic breast cancer on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 8:02 am Hawaii time.
In addition, David Portman, M.D., Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sermonix and a consultant to LeonaBio, will lead an Industry Lunch Presentation on the development of lasofoxifene and its potential as a treatment for metastatic breast cancer on Thursday, August 20, 2026, at 12:25 pm Hawaii time.
"We are excited by the opportunities that success in ELAINE-3 could create, not only in potentially establishing lasofoxifene in combination with CDK4/6 inhibition as a new standard of care in metastatic breast cancer but also informing future testing in different combination strategies and additional breast cancer settings," concluded Dr. Litton.
