Puma Biotechnology (PBYI) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Puma Biotechnology, Inc. is a late‐stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development and commercialization of targeted therapies for oncology patients. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Los Angeles, California, the company focuses on advancing molecularly defined cancer treatments that address significant unmet medical needs.

The company’s lead product is neratinib, marketed under the brand name Nerlynx in the United States. Neratinib is an irreversible small‐molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor designed to target the HER2 receptor, and it received FDA approval in 2017 for extended adjuvant treatment of early‐stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Nerlynx has since been explored in additional settings, including metastatic disease, reflecting Puma’s commitment to expanding therapeutic options for patients.

Beyond its approved product, Puma Biotechnology maintains a clinical‐stage pipeline that includes additional oncology candidates and combination regimens under evaluation in multiple cancer indications. Through ongoing trials, the company aims to build on Nerlynx’s platform and bring new treatment options to patients facing aggressive tumors.

Since completing its initial public offering on Nasdaq under the ticker PBYI in 2013, Puma has established commercial operations in the United States and forged partnerships to support product launches and regulatory filings in Europe and other global markets. Under the leadership of Founder and President/CEO Alan H. Auerbach, the company continues to leverage strategic collaborations and scientific expertise to drive its growth and development efforts.
