San Diego-based Lpath, a therapeutic antibody company, is the category leader in lipidomics-based antibody therapeutics, an emerging field of medicine that targets bioactive signaling lipids for treating a wide range of human disease. Lpath-s ImmuneY2 drug-discovery engine has the unique ability to generate therapeutic antibodies that bind to and inhibit bioactive lipids that contribute to disease. The company has developed three drug candidates, one of which (iSONEP for wet AMD) has initiated mid-stage clinical trials and another of which (ASONEP for cancer) will soon begin mid-stage clinical trials. The third candidate is a pre-clinical anti-LPA antibody, which has shown efficacy in animal models of fibrosis, pain, neurotrauma, and ocular disease. Lpath entered into an agreement with Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) in 2010 that provides Pfizer an exclusive option for a worldwide license to develop and commercialize iSONEP. For more information, visit .
