DNB Nordic Healthcare Conference presentation summary
17 Aug, 2026Market opportunity and disease landscape
45% of US adults are obese, with over 25% having fatty liver disease, which increases liver cancer risk 17-fold.
Global 2nd line HCC market projected to grow from $1.3bn in 2024 to $4.0bn by 2030, driven by rising HCC incidence and improved 1st line treatments.
By 2030, HCC cases expected to increase by 122% in the US and 82% in China, with average treatment duration rising to 7–10 months.
Product profile and clinical innovation
Fostrox is the first oral, liver-targeted treatment for advanced HCC, designed to selectively kill tumor cells while sparing healthy liver cells.
Utilizes a prodrug mechanism for liver-guided delivery and tumor-selective payload activation.
Demonstrates efficacy substantially better than current treatments, with a median TTP of 10.9 months in combination with Lenvima.
Clinical data and competitive positioning
In phase 1b/2a, fostrox + Lenvima showed median TTP of 10.9 months, ORR of 24%, and DCR of 81%, outperforming Lenvima monotherapy and other 2L HCC treatments.
Stable liver function observed during treatment, with favorable ALT, AST, and ALBI score profiles.
No approved 2nd line treatments for HCC, with fostrox + Lenvima at the forefront of a weak competitive landscape.
