LSTA fundamentals

Lisata Therapeutics, Inc. is engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of innovative therapies for the treatment of advanced solid tumors and other major diseases. Its product, LSTA1, is designed to activate a novel uptake pathway that allows co-administered or tethered anti-cancer drugs to target and penetrate tumors. It also actuates this active transport system in a tumor-specific manner, resulting in systemically co-administered anti-cancer drugs more efficiently penetrating and accumulating in the tumor, while normal tissues are unlikely to be affected. The company was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Basking Ridge, NJ.
