Our Opinion

LianBio is on the Cruelty-Free Investing usage of animals list because they undertake pre-clinical studies on animals to examine the safety profile of their medications.

Supporting Evidence:

The company stated in the following report that they exploit animals for drug testing.

“As a monotherapy in mouse xenograft models, BBP-398 prevented tumor growth of EGFR amplified and KRAS-mutant tumors. In a model of EGFR TKI-resistant NSCLC, neither IACS-13909, a preclinical compound with a profile similar to BBP-398, nor osimertinib led to tumor shrinkage in most mice. However, the combination of IACS-13909 with osimertinib led to tumor shrinkage in all treated mice.” (Page 160) Read the full document
