Lisata Therapeutics acquires Marea Therapeutics and raises $225M to advance cardioendocrine drug trials.

Lisata Therapeutics has acquired Marea Therapeutics, a biotech focused on cardioendocrine diseases, through a stock-for-stock deal. The transaction includes a private placement expected to raise about $225 million, which Lisata will use to fund clinical trials for Marea's drug candidates targeting severe hypertriglyceridemia and acromegaly. These trials are set to report results in late 2027. Post-acquisition, Marea's shareholders will hold the majority stake, while Lisata's prior shareholders and new investors will own smaller portions. This move expands Lisata's focus and resources toward advancing important cardioendocrine treatments.
