Insights
The upcoming SABCS presentations represent a significant milestone for Atossa's (Z)-endoxifen development program. The research spans important areas including breast cancer prevention, treatment efficacy and combination therapy potential. The KARISMA-Endoxifen trial's data on mammographic breast density reduction is particularly noteworthy, as this is a key biomarker for breast cancer risk assessment.
The EVANGELINE study results focusing on premenopausal ER+/HER2- breast cancer patients could be transformative, potentially offering an alternative to current standard treatments requiring ovarian suppression. The pharmacokinetic data and quality of life measures will be important for understanding the drug's real-world applicability and patient acceptance.
The synergistic molecule discovery presentation suggests Atossa is exploring ways to enhance (Z)-endoxifen's effectiveness through combination approaches, which could expand its therapeutic potential and market opportunities.

About (Z)-Endoxifen
(Z)-endoxifen is the most potent Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) for estrogen receptor inhibition and also causes estrogen receptor degradation. It has also been shown to have efficacy in the setting of patients with tumor resistance to other hormonal treatments. In addition to its potent anti-estrogen effects, (Z)-endoxifen has been shown to target PKCβ1, a known oncogenic protein, at clinically attainable blood concentrations. Finally, (Z)-endoxifen appears to deliver similar or even greater bone agonistic effects while resulting in little or no endometrial proliferative effects compared with standard treatments, like tamoxifen.
Atossa is developing a proprietary oral formulation of (Z)-endoxifen that does not require liver metabolism to achieve therapeutic concentrations and is encapsulated to bypass the stomach, as acidic conditions in the stomach convert a significant proportion of (Z)-endoxifen to the inactive (E)-endoxifen. Atossa’s (Z)-endoxifen has been shown to be well tolerated in Phase 1 studies and in a small Phase 2 study of women with breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen is currently being studied in four Phase 2 trials: one in healthy women with measurable breast density, one in women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, and two other studies including the EVANGELINE study in women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. Atossa’s (Z)-endoxifen is protected by four issued U.S. patents and numerous pending patent applications.
