Morgan Stanley 24th Annual Global Healthcare Conference summary
16 Sep, 2026Key clinical program updates
Zovegalisib demonstrated 11 months PFS in second-line HR+/HER2- breast cancer, outperforming current standards like capivasertib and alpelisib, with improved tolerability and lower toxicity rates.
A pivotal global phase III trial is underway, comparing zovegalisib plus fulvestrant to capivasertib plus fulvestrant, with enrollment progressing well and updates on full enrollment expected by year-end.
In first-line HR+/HER2- breast cancer, a triplet regimen of zovegalisib, atirmociclib, and endocrine therapy is being advanced, aiming for broad tolerability and efficacy in PIK3CA-mutant patients; phase III is planned for early 2027.
Vascular anomalies data showed a 60% volumetric response rate, significantly higher than alpelisib, with better tolerability; dose expansion and regulatory updates are expected by year-end.
The NRAS program (RLY-8161) entered clinical trials in 2026, targeting NRAS-driven tumors with promising preclinical efficacy and safety.
Market opportunity and commercial strategy
The second-line PI3K pathway inhibitor market is approaching a $1 billion run rate, with potential for rapid market share growth if phase III results are positive.
The addressable market for vascular anomalies is estimated at $6–8 billion, with about 25,000 patients in the U.S. potentially eligible for chronic systemic therapy.
Pricing precedent exists with alpelisib: $25,000/month for breast cancer and $36,000/month for vascular anomalies, suggesting differentiated pricing is feasible.
Only a small fraction of the vascular anomalies population needs to be captured to achieve blockbuster sales, given high per-patient pricing.
Early data in vascular anomalies supports a strong commercial profile, with plans to expand the eligible patient pool over time.
Regulatory and development outlook
Accelerated approval for zovegalisib in vascular anomalies is being pursued, leveraging precedent from alpelisib’s approval pathway; discussions with the FDA are planned before year-end.
The regulatory strategy includes pooling PROS and lymphatic malformation patients for accelerated approval, with a single-arm confirmatory study proposed for full approval.
The first-line breast cancer phase III trial is targeted to start in early 2027, pending regulatory feedback and site readiness.
Ongoing trials are designed to provide optionality for physicians to use zovegalisib in both first- and second-line settings, depending on patient profile and tolerability.
Updates on trial enrollment, data, and regulatory milestones are expected throughout the next 12 months.
