Corporate presentation summary
11 May, 2026Strategic pipeline and partnerships
Accelerating a differentiated oncology pipeline through global partnerships with innovative companies.
Multiple clinical assets in development, including firmonertinib and next-generation ADCs.
Firmonertinib holds Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan designation for 1L EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant NSCLC.
ADC portfolio includes ARR-217 (CDH17 targeting, Phase 1) and ARR-002 (NaPi2b x MUC16, IND cleared, Phase 1 planned for 2H 2026).
Firmonertinib clinical development and efficacy
Structurally differentiated EGFR inhibitor, active against classical and uncommon mutations, with high brain penetration and oral dosing.
Approved in China for classical EGFR mutations and 2L exon 20 insertion mutations; global pivotal Phase 3 trials ongoing for 1L NSCLC with exon 20 and PACC mutations.
FAVOUR study showed robust and durable responses in EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC, with ORR up to 78.6% in treatment-naïve patients.
FURVENT Phase 3 trial in 1L EGFR exon 20 insertion NSCLC exceeded target enrollment (398 patients); primary endpoint is PFS.
FURTHER Phase 1b study in EGFR PACC mutations showed confirmed ORR up to 68.2% at 240 mg, with median PFS of 16.0 months.
Safety and CNS activity
Firmonertinib demonstrated manageable safety in PACC patients, with no grade 4-5 TRAEs observed.
CNS activity observed, including complete CNS responses in PACC cohort, potentially delaying need for brain radiation.
