Award recognizes Lisata’s data-driven approach and innovative therapies designed to address the unmet medical needs of patients with advanced solid tumors
Annual BioTech Breakthrough Award is devoted to honoring excellence in life science and biotechnology solutions, services, and companies
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lisata Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LSTA) (or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and other serious diseases, today announced that it has been selected as ‘Specialized BioTherapeutics Company of the Year’ in the fourth annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program conducted by BioTech Breakthrough, a leading independent market intelligence organization that evaluates and recognizes standout life sciences and biotechnology companies, products, and services around the globe.
Lisata is recognized for its unique therapeutic approach and streamlined clinical development plans, designed to address the unmet medical needs of patients with advanced solid tumors. Through its proprietary CendR Platform® technology, which enables more effective tumor-targeted and tissue-penetrating delivery of anti-cancer drugs by activating the CendR transport mechanism, Lisata aims to improve the efficacy of existing standards-of-care and emerging anti-cancer therapies, including cytotoxics, immunotherapies, and RNA-based treatments.
By modifying the tumor microenvironment (“TME”), the Company’s investigational product candidate, certepetide, reduces the immunosuppressive nature of the TME, recruits cytotoxic T cells to the tumor, and simultaneously inhibits the metastatic cascade. Certepetide has shown favorable results in enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer and has received Fast Track and Orphan Drug designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (“PDAC”), along with Orphan Drug designation from the FDA for cholangiocarcinoma (“CCA”), and glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”). Lisata has also received a Rare Pediatric Disease designation for certepetide in osteosarcoma.
“Winning the ‘Specialized BioTherapeutics Company of the Year’ award is a testament to Lisata’s commitment to advancing the research and development of therapies to provide better outcomes for patients with solid tumors,” said David J. Mazzo, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Lisata. “Thank you to BioTech Breakthrough for this acknowledgment of the entire Lisata team and our partners. We will continue our focus on advancing our robust portfolio with the goal of bringing life-changing treatments to patients as quickly as possible.”
“Lisata is continuing to transform patient lives through the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative therapies for advanced solid tumors. The Company’s novel product candidate, certepetide, is currently being evaluated in several ongoing clinical trials for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including PDAC, CCA, GBM, colon cancer, appendiceal cancer, and melanoma,” said Bryan Vaughn, Managing Director of BioTech Breakthrough. “Lisata is also exploring certepetide’s potential in the treatment of non-oncologic applications such as endometriosis. This further demonstrates their commitment to developing cutting-edge therapies that address critical unmet medical needs, making them our well-deserved winner of the ‘Specialized BioTherapeutics Company of the Year.’”
The mission of the annual BioTech Breakthrough Awards program is to conduct the industry’s most comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the world’s top companies, solutions, and products in the life sciences and biotechnology markets today. This year’s program attracted thousands of nominations from over 14 different countries throughout the world, serving as a global recognition platform that encourages bold ideas and solutions that will shape the future of biotechnology.
About Certepetide
Certepetide is an investigational drug designed to selectively activate the C-end rule active transport mechanism in a tumor specific manner, resulting in systemically co-administered anti-cancer agents more efficiently penetrating and accumulating in the tumor. Additionally, certepetide has been shown to modify the tumor microenvironment, diminishing its immunosuppressive nature and inhibiting the metastatic cascade. Lisata and its collaborators have amassed significant non-clinical data demonstrating enhanced delivery of various existing and emerging anti-cancer therapies, including chemotherapies, immunotherapies and RNA-based therapeutics. To date, certepetide has also demonstrated favorable safety, tolerability, and clinical activity in completed and ongoing clinical trials designed to demonstrate its ability to enhance the effectiveness of standard-of-care chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer as well as the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy in a variety of solid tumors. Certepetide has been awarded Fast Track designation (U.S.) and Orphan Drug Designation for pancreatic cancer (U.S. and E.U.), as well as Orphan Drug Designation for glioma, osteosarcoma, and cholangiocarcinoma (U.S.). Additionally, certepetide has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation for osteosarcoma (U.S.).
