10 Sep, 2026Strategic priorities and franchise evolution
Focus on expanding product franchises, particularly CABOMETYX and zanzalintinib, across multiple indications and modalities.
Growth strategy includes internal pipeline development and potential external asset acquisitions.
Transitioning from a single to multiple franchises, aiming for up to five distinct product lines.
Emphasis on leveraging franchise strength and commercial relationships in RCC and NETs.
CABOMETYX performance and market dynamics
CABOMETYX market share in RCC increased from 45% to 47% year-over-year, with durable growth expected through 2030.
Significant penetration in the NETs market, with a 45% new patient share in Q2.
Revenue growth driven by both RCC and NETs, with NETs expected to be a major contributor as patient stacking increases.
NETs market characterized by slower patient transitions due to indolent tumor nature, but CABOMETYX is increasingly chosen at therapy switch.
Zanzalintinib development and market outlook
Anticipates approval decision for zanzalintinib in third-line metastatic colorectal cancer, a $1.5 billion U.S. opportunity.
Ongoing pivotal studies in CRC (STELLAR-303, STELLAR-316) are generating clinician enthusiasm and awareness.
Third-line CRC market is fragmented, with zanzalintinib/atezolizumab aiming to capture share across all treatment categories.
Zanzalintinib positioned as a best-in-class TKI, engineered for improved tolerability and user-friendliness over CABOMETYX.
