We are united in our efforts to provide patients with reasons to believe that they can receive effective treatments while carrying on with their daily living.
AVEO is an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company committed to delivering medicines that provide a better life for cancer patients.
AVEO’s strategy is to focus its resources toward development and commercialization of its product candidates in North America, while leveraging partnerships to support development and commercialization in other geographies. AVEO’s lead candidate, FOTIVDA® (tivozanib), received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in March 2021 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following two or more prior systemic therapies. FOTIVDA® was approved in August 2017 in the European Union and other countries in the EUSA territory for the treatment of adult patients with advanced RCC. AVEO has previously reported promising early clinical data on ficlatuzumab (anti-HGF IgG1 mAb) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), pancreatic cancer and acute myeloid leukemia, and expects to make a go/no-go decision on the initiation of a pivotal Phase 3 study of ficlatuzumab in HPV negative HNSCC following feedback from the FDA. AVEO’s pipeline of product candidates also includes AV-380 (anti-GDF15 IgG1 mAb). AVEO has previously reported the acceptance of its investigational new drug application in the U.S. for AV-380 and its initiation of a Phase 1 clinical trial for the potential treatment of cancer cachexia. AVEO’s earlier stage pipeline includes monoclonal antibodies in oncology development, including AV-203 (anti-ErbB3 mAb) and AV-353 (anti-Notch 3 mAb). AVEO is committed to creating an environment of diversity and inclusion.

On January 19, 2023, AVEO Oncology was acquired by LG Chem, Ltd. (“LG Chem”), expanding LG Chem’s oncology portfolio. AVEO now operates as an LG Chem company with a shared mission of providing innovative solutions to improve cancer patients’ lives.
The combined synergy of AVEO and LG Chem will result in a global oncology organization with a robust portfolio of innovative products and deep capabilities from discovery to clinical, biologics manufacturing and U.S. commercialization, at a scale capable of delivering on its mission to improve the lives of patients with cancer.
Bringing together AVEO and LG Chem provides significant momentum for AVEO to evolve to the next level, a global top 20 oncology leader in the next 5 years.
