Product Development Model

Leveraging our know-how and R&D approach,  we have implemented a product development model that consists of internal discovery, business development and translational research.

 

- Internal Discovery

- Business Development

- Translational Research

Our Strengths
LAE002 in registrational clinical trials with potentially better clinical efficacy and favorable safety profile 

 

LAE001 exhibits favorable efficacy profile
 for prostate cancer

Deep understanding 

into fundamental

disease biology and clinical practice

 

Integrated operation 

that well-positions us to capture international business opportunities

 

Seasoned management team

(1) Some indication(s) may not require a Phase II clinical trial prior to beginning pivotal Phase II or III clinical trials.

(2) Phase II registration-directed pivotal trial.

(3) The trial is a MRCT covering clinical sites in the U.S. and South Korea. We also plan to include the clinical site in China in the future.

(4) Current clinical trial(s) conducted only in China, but will be extended into MRCT(s) in pivotal trial(s).

(5) LAE003 has been conducted in several Phase I, Phase II clinical trials in various cancer indications prior to our in-licensing. We plan to repurpose the drug for rare disease indications with partners.
