Atossa Therapeutics reports Q4 EPS (20c), consensus (22c)

“Metastatic breast cancer remains an area of critical unmet need, where improved therapies are urgently required,” said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Atossa. “(Z)-endoxifen has demonstrated promising anti-estrogenic and anti-tumor effects alongside a favorable tolerability profile, which we believe positions it as a potential next-generation therapy. We believe that pursuing an initial approval in metastatic breast cancer could offer a more efficient regulatory pathway, potentially enabling us to make (Z)-endoxifen available sooner to the patients who need it most. We also believe this strategy further supports our ability to expand the broader potential of (Z)-endoxifen to address multiple stages of breast cancer, from reducing tumor growth to preventing recurrence after successful treatment.”
