Patient needs in major disease areas—such as metabolic diseases, oncology, and liver fibrosis—remain the driving force behind our mission. Laekna, a science-driven biotechnology company, is committed to bringing novel therapeutics to patients around the world.

Leveraging our tremendous experience and extensive know-how in disease biology, we have built a pipeline of over 20 internally discovered innovative drug candidates with proprietary intellectual property rights. We keep expanding our global reach through strategic partnerships, fostering collaborative success across regions.

In oncology, the Phase III clinical trial of LAE002 (afuresertib) for breast cancer was completed and successfully met its primary endpoint. We plan to submit NDA to the CDE in 2026, which will mark Laekna’s pivotal transition from clinical development to commercialization. Laekna has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Qilu Pharma to further accelerate the delivery of this novel therapeutic to patients across China.

In metabolic diseases, building on our deep expertise and extensive knowhow in the ActRII pathway, we have established a globally competitive, differentiated portfolio comprising LAE102, LAE103, and LAE123. Top-line results from Phase I studies of LAE002 for obesity in China and U.S. demonstrated dose-dependent trends in lean mass increase and fat mass reduction, and a well-tolerated safety profile. The Phase I study in the U.S. was completed in collaboration with the global R&D leader Eli Lilly, aiming to jointly accelerate the global development of this high-quality weight management therapy. The Phase I SAD study of LAE103 has been commenced in Australia.

From our laboratory in Zhangjiang Pharma Valley in Shanghai, to clinical trials conducted across China, the U.S., and Australia, our footprint spans the globe. Looking ahead, Laekna will continue to  accelerate delivery of novel therapeutics to patients worldwide.
