“This is a very exciting time for Eos Biosciences. In addition to expanding and solidifying our patent portfolio, we are making very significant progress on the pre-clinical development and scale-up manufacturing of our products,” Omar Haffar, Ph.D., Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, said. “We are also implementing a strategic expansion of our product pipeline into immuno-oncology, and the application of Eosomes to other high impact disease areas, such as CNS. We expect to report positive progress in these and other areas in the near future.”

HER3 is over-expressed on TNBC and many types of HER2+ metastatic and drug-resistant solid tumors.
