H.C. Wainwright 28th Annual Global Investment Conference summary
14 Sep, 2026Current clinical progress and pipeline
Phase III trial of third-generation MEK inhibitor atebimetinib is underway in first-line pancreatic cancer, with over 40 sites active and top-line readout expected mid-2028.
Multiple ongoing studies include a phase II lung cancer trial in combination with cemiplimab, with first patient dosing expected by year-end and top-line results by end of next year.
Phase II data in pancreatic cancer showed 84% of evaluable patients were weight stable or gained weight at three months.
Additional phase II arms are ongoing, including combinations with standard-of-care regimens like FOLFIRINOX.
Funding is secured through the anticipated phase III readout.
Differentiation and mechanism of atebimetinib
Atebimetinib is a third-generation MEK inhibitor designed to address toxicity issues seen in earlier generations.
Utilizes Deep Cyclic Inhibition technology, providing pulsed pathway inhibition for improved tolerability.
Demonstrates efficacy in RAS mutant disease by blocking the CRAF bypass, a key resistance mechanism.
Monotherapy data show significant reductions in rash and diarrhea compared to previous MEK inhibitors.
Mechanistically distinct from first- and second-generation MEK inhibitors, offering a unique clinical profile.
Key clinical data and patient outcomes
Phase II trial in first-line pancreatic cancer reported a median overall survival (OS) of 17.3 months, a result not achieved by any RAS inhibitor in this setting.
Only two Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events (anemia and neutropenia) occurred in more than 10% of patients, both linked to chemotherapy.
60% of patients were able to proceed to second-line treatment, compared to 40% in the standard-of-care MPACT study.
84% of patients maintained or gained weight, supporting better quality of life and survival.
Improved tolerability profile is expected to help patients maintain performance status and access subsequent therapies.
