44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference summary14 Jan, 2026

Company Overview and Strategy

  • Focuses on late-stage oncology and emerging immunology programs, leveraging strong chemistry and discovery capabilities.

  • Maintains aggressive research and clinical trial activity, supported by strategic partnerships and a strong cash position extending into 2H 2028.

  • Portfolio includes homegrown, best-in-class small molecules, with casdatifan as the lead asset.

  • Expansion into immunology is a natural evolution, not a pivot, building on existing expertise.

  • Collaboration strategy now emphasizes value-adding clinical partnerships over capital-raising deals, with partners including AstraZeneca, Taiho Pharma, and Gilead.

Casdatifan Program and Market Opportunity

  • Casdatifan targets HIF-2α, a validated mechanism in kidney cancer, and is wholly owned, providing strategic flexibility.

  • Demonstrates superior efficacy and durability over Merck’s belzutifan, with median PFS of 12.2 months versus 5.6 months.

  • Two-pronged development: PEAK-1 (fast-to-market, combo with TKI) and front-line, TKI-sparing regimens, with a Phase 3 study planned by year-end 2026.

  • Large commercial potential estimated at $5 billion, driven by long treatment durations and broad applicability in clear cell RCC.

  • Plans to fully cover clear cell RCC before expanding to other indications like HCC.

Other Oncology and Immunology Programs

  • Quemliclustat in front-line pancreatic cancer shows median OS improvement of 5.9 months, with PRISM-1 trial fully enrolled and Phase 3 readout expected in 1H 2027.

  • Immunology pipeline includes MRGPRX2 antagonist for atopic skin diseases and selective TNFR1 inhibitor, both aiming for clinical entry by 2026–2027.

  • Immunology targets are validated by existing biologics but offer improved profiles via small molecules.

  • Additional programs in CCR6 and CD40L are in advanced discovery stages.

  • Early proof-of-concept data expected quickly for immunology assets, with large commercial opportunities.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
