Welcome to our dedicated page for Oric Pharmaceuticals news (Ticker: ORIC), a resource for investors and traders seeking the latest updates and insights on Oric Pharmaceuticals stock.
Oric Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, is dedicated to discovering and developing innovative therapies for the treatment of cancer. Headquartered in South San Francisco, California, Oric Pharmaceuticals was founded in 2014 and has since focused on addressing the challenging problem of cancer resistance to existing treatments.
The company's lead product candidate is ORIC-101, a small molecule antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor. This receptor has been identified as a key player in the resistance mechanisms against various classes of cancer therapeutics, particularly across solid tumors. By targeting this receptor, ORIC-101 aims to enhance the effectiveness of existing cancer treatments.
Another significant asset in Oric's pipeline is ORIC-533, an orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of CD73. CD73 plays a role in resistance to both chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and ORIC-533 is being developed to counteract this resistance, offering a potential new avenue for treating patients who do not respond to current therapies.
In addition to ORIC-101 and ORIC-533, the company is also developing ORIC-944 and ORIC-114, each targeting different mechanisms of cancer resistance. ORIC-944 has shown promise in initial Phase 1b data, and the company has outlined several anticipated milestones for these programs in the near future.
Oric Pharmaceuticals demonstrates a robust commitment to advancing the field of precision oncology. The company leverages its expertise in hormone-dependent cancers, precision oncology, and key tumor dependencies to build a diverse pipeline of therapies. These efforts are supported by strategic partnerships and collaborations aimed at accelerating the development and commercialization of their treatment candidates.
Financially, Oric Pharmaceuticals has provided guidance and updates to keep stakeholders informed about their progress and strategic direction. For the latest news and developments, investors and interested parties are encouraged to stay tuned to the company's announcements.

The treatment demonstrated favorable safety with primarily Grade 1 and 2 adverse events.
The company entered a clinical collaboration with Johnson & Johnson to evaluate ORIC-114 combined with amivantamab for first-line NSCLC treatment. ORIC expects seven data readouts across its clinical programs over the next 18 months, with potential registrational trials starting in 2H25 and early 2026.
Following a $125 million private placement financing, ORIC's cash position stood at $282.4 million as of September 30, 2024, expected to fund operations into late 2026.
ORIC Pharmaceuticals announced a clinical supply agreement with Janssen Research & Development to evaluate ORIC-114 in combination with amivantamab for the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. This Phase 1b trial is expected to begin in Q1 2025, with initial data anticipated by mid-2026.
The trial aims to assess the safety and tolerability of the combination therapy and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). ORIC will sponsor the trial, while Johnson & Johnson will supply amivantamab.

The company highlighted that ORIC-114 has shown promising systemic and intracranial activity in heavily pre-treated patients with EGFR/HER2 mutated NSCLC. The trial will further explore its efficacy in the first-line setting, both as a monotherapy and in combination with amivantamab.
In 2024, ORIC completed the monotherapy dose escalation portion of the Phase 1b trial for ORIC-114 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Based on these data, two provisional RP2D levels (80 mg and 120 mg QD) were selected for further evaluation.
