Lpath Inc.






Lpath Incorporated
4025 Sorrento Valley Blvd.
San Diego, CA 92121
Tel: 858-678-0800
FAX: 858-678-0900
 

Lpath, Inc. is a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of monoclonal antibodies targeted to bioactive lipids. Lipid-based therapeutics are an emerging field of medical science whereby bioactive signaling lipids are targeted for treating important human diseases that currently lack innovative and effective medicines.
 

Lpath's ImmuneY2 platform contains the ability to generate therapeutic antibodies that bind to and inhibit bioactive lipids that contribute to the spreading and growth of various diseases and inflammatory/auto-immune disorders.



 

Lpath, Inc. focuses on the discovery and development of monoclonal antibodies that target bioactive lipids. Numerous lipids that contribute to disease have now been identified through the various efforts of academics and industry. However, the challenge becomes one of generating a compound that neutralizes the relevant bioactive lipid. With its ImmuneY2™ platform technology and robust patent estate, Lpath is uniquely positioned to meet such challenges and exploit these opportunities.

Lpath has leveraged ImmuneY2 and generated monoclonal antibody drug candidates against several bioactive lipids, including sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), leukotrienes (LTs) and others.
 

Lpath is currently advancing LpathomabTM, a monoclonal antibody against lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a key bioactive lipid that has been recognized to be involved in disorders of the central nervous system (including pain, traumatic brain injury, neurodegeneration), fibrosis, ocular disease and cancer. Lpathomab has demonstrated strong preclinical activity in several animal models of these diseases, including neuropathic pain, diabetic neuropathy, traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. Lpathomab is currently in a phase 1 clinical trial.

The company is applying ImmuneY2 to other bioactive lipid targets, many of which are involved in important disease processes (e.g. inflammation, cancer, pain, asthma, and others) thereby adding to our pipeline of novel antibody-based drug candidates.

Lpath has a broad and deep intellectual property position in the bioactive lipid area, with over 50 issued or pending patents in the U.S., with corresponding international applications. Most of these patents were developed in-house using our proprietary technologies and expertise.
