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) reported Q2 2024 financial results and pipeline progress. Key highlights include:
- $658.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, expected to support operations into 2027
- Ongoing enrollment in Phase 2 trials for NVL-655 (ALK program) and zidesamtinib (ROS1 program)
- FDA breakthrough therapy designation granted for both NVL-655 and zidesamtinib
- Initiation of HEROEX-1 trial for NVL-330 (HER2 program)
- Plans to present updated Phase 1 data at ESMO Congress 2024
Financial results for Q2 2024:
- R&D expenses: $49.2 million
- G&A expenses: $16.0 million
- Net loss: $57.2 million
Nuvalent aims to deliver at least one pivotal dataset in 2025 towards potential product approval in 2026.
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).
This marks Nuvalent's third program to enter clinical development in under three years, highlighting the company's commitment to rapid progress in developing targeted cancer therapies.
Nuvalent (Nasdaq: NUVL) announced upcoming presentations of updated data from two clinical trials at the ESMO Congress 2024 in Barcelona. The presentations will focus on:
1. NVL-655, an ALK-selective inhibitor, from the ALKOVE-1 Phase 1/2 trial in ALK-positive solid tumors.
2. Zidesamtinib (NVL-520), a ROS1-selective inhibitor, from the ARROS-1 Phase 1/2 trial in ROS1 fusion-positive solid tumors.
Additionally, Nuvalent will present new preclinical data on zidesamtinib's intracranial activity. These presentations highlight Nuvalent's progress in developing targeted therapies for clinically proven kinase targets in cancer.

He expressed excitement about advancing Nuvalent's mission to deliver targeted therapies for cancer patients.
Nuvalent, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in targeted cancer therapies, announced its participation in the 2024 Jefferies Global Healthcare Conference. The event will feature a fireside chat with CEO James Porter and CFO Alexandra Balcom on June 5, 2024, at 4:30 p.m. ET. The session will be live-streamed and available on the company's website for 30 days.
Nuvalent announced that the FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation (BTD) for NVL-655, a novel ALK-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) designed to treat locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients previously treated with two or more ALK TKIs. ALK rearrangements occur in up to 5% of metastatic NSCLCs, with 40% of these patients presenting brain metastases at diagnosis, and 50% developing resistance mutations after treatment. NVL-655 aims to address these challenges with brain-penetrant properties and minimal off-target CNS adverse events. The BTD is based on Phase 1 trial results, with Phase 2 enrollment ongoing. Nuvalent plans an update from the ALKOVE-1 trial in the second half of 2024.
