Corporate presentation summary
27 Feb, 2026Strategic vision and operational highlights
Focus on developing targeted therapies for cancer, with parallel lead programs in ROS1+ and ALK+ NSCLC and a third HER2-altered NSCLC program in Phase 1.
Anticipates first U.S. commercial launch in 2026 and expects cash runway into 2029.
Team exceeds 200 FTEs, with hybrid operations and Nasdaq listing.
Leadership and board have significant experience in drug discovery, development, and prior FDA approvals.
Pipeline and clinical development
Zidesamtinib (NVL-520) for ROS1+ NSCLC: NDA accepted for TKI pre-treated patients, PDUFA date September 18, 2026; strong efficacy and safety data in pivotal ARROS-1 trial.
Neladalkib (NVL-655) for ALK+ NSCLC: NDA planned for TKI pre-treated patients in 1H 2026; ALKAZAR Phase 3 trial ongoing for TKI-naïve patients.
NVL-330 for HER2-altered NSCLC in Phase 1, with ongoing enrollment in the HEROex-1 trial.
Additional discovery research programs are active, with a new development candidate to be disclosed by year-end.
Clinical efficacy and safety highlights
Zidesamtinib showed 44% ORR in TKI pre-treated ROS1+ NSCLC, with median DOR of 22 months and strong CNS activity; safety profile marked by low discontinuation (2%) and dose reduction (10%) rates.
In TKI-naïve ROS1+ NSCLC, preliminary ORR was 89% with 96% DOR at 6 and 12 months.
Neladalkib demonstrated 31% ORR in heavily pre-treated ALK+ NSCLC, 68% ORR in ALK G1202R mutation, and 46% ORR in lorlatinib-naïve patients; safety profile generally well tolerated with most common TEAEs being transaminase elevations.
Both lead assets show strong intracranial activity and are designed to avoid TRK-related neurotoxicities.
