Nuvalent (NUVL) presented updated Phase 1 data for its lead ROS1 and ALK inhibitors at ESMO 2024, highlighting potential best-in-class profiles. Key updates include:
1. Rapid enrollment in Phase 2 trials for both programs, with pivotal data now expected in 2025.
2. Zidesamtinib (ROS1 inhibitor) showed 44% ORR in pre-treated ROS1+ NSCLC patients, with 83% having 6+ month response duration.
3. NVL-655 (ALK inhibitor) demonstrated 38% ORR in heavily pre-treated ALK+ NSCLC patients at the recommended Phase 2 dose.
4. Both drugs were well-tolerated with favorable safety profiles.
5. A Phase 3 trial (ALKAZAR) for NVL-655 in treatment-naïve ALK+ NSCLC patients is planned for H1 2025.
These updates suggest accelerated development timelines and potential for both drugs to address unmet needs in ROS1+ and ALK+ NSCLC treatment paradigms.
Nuvalent (Nasdaq: NUVL) has published a manuscript in Cancer Discovery detailing the design and characterization of NVL-655, their ALK-selective inhibitor for ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The publication highlights:
1. NVL-655's activity against ALK single and compound resistance mutations
2. Its selectivity for ALK over TRK family, potentially reducing neurological adverse events
3. Preclinical studies demonstrating brain penetrance and intracranial activity
4. Three case studies from the ALKOVE-1 trial showing tumor responses without CNS effects
The ongoing global Phase 2 portion of the ALKOVE-1 trial is designed with registrational intent. Updated Phase 1 data will be presented at the ESMO Congress 2024 in Barcelona.
Nuvalent (NUVL) announced updated Phase 1 data for its ALK-selective inhibitor NVL-655 and ROS1-selective inhibitor zidesamtinib at ESMO Congress 2024. Key highlights:
- NVL-655 showed 38% overall response rate (ORR) in heavily pre-treated ALK+ NSCLC patients, with 9.2 month median duration of response (DOR)
- Zidesamtinib demonstrated 38% ORR in ROS1+ NSCLC patients previously treated with ROS1 TKIs, with median DOR not reached
- Both drugs showed promising intracranial activity and favorable safety profiles
- Phase 2 trials with registrational intent are ongoing for both drugs in TKI-naïve and pre-treated patients
The company believes these results support the potential for NVL-655 and zidesamtinib to become best-in-class therapies for ALK+ and ROS1+ NSCLC, respectively.

Nuvalent (Nasdaq: NUVL) has announced the initiation of HEROEX-1, a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial evaluating its novel HER2-selective inhibitor, NVL-330, for pre-treated patients with HER2-altered non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The trial aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of NVL-330, as well as determine the recommended Phase 2 dose and characterize its pharmacokinetic profile.
NVL-330 has shown potential in preclinical studies to maintain activity against HER2 exon 20 mutations, be selective for HER2 versus wild-type EGFR, and demonstrate brain penetrance. These characteristics address key needs in HER2-mutant NSCLC treatment, for which there are currently no approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
