Investor update summary
4 Jun, 2026Oncology and Hematology Performance and Strategy
Oncology and hematology generated CHF 5.9 billion in Q1 sales, representing 40% of total sales and 8% year-over-year growth, driven by breast, lung, malignant heme, and hemophilia segments.
Market leadership maintained in HER2 breast cancer, lung cancer (Tecentriq, Alecensa), non-Hodgkin lymphoma, CLL (Venclexta), and hemophilia (Hemlibra).
Six positive phase III readouts and three new molecular entities with phase III indications since 2024, with over 70% being first-in-class or best-in-class assets.
Pipeline rejuvenation includes six new molecular entities via business development and four platform research deals.
Portfolio spans small molecules, bispecifics, multispecifics, ADCs, and cell therapies, with a focus on patient tolerability and accessibility.
RAS and KRAS Innovation
RAS mutations are present in one in four stage IV cancer patients, especially in lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers.
Divarasib, a G12C inhibitor, shows 5–20x potency and 10–20x selectivity over competitors, with median PFS of 15 months in second-line NSCLC.
Divarasib received FDA Breakthrough Designation and is being evaluated in the KRASCENDO-1 phase III trial, with data expected year-end.
Combination strategies and adaptive dosing are being systematically incorporated into ongoing trials to optimize efficacy and tolerability.
Pan-RAS and pan-KRAS inhibitors are in development, with a focus on combinability and diverse mechanisms to address tumor biology and resistance.
Breast Cancer Franchise and Pipeline
Strong legacy in HER2-positive breast cancer, expanding into HR-positive with Itovebi (PI3K inhibitor) and giredestrant (oral SERD).
ZN-1041, a brain-penetrant HER2 TKI, is being developed for patients with brain metastases, with promising combinability and tolerability data.
Giredestrant demonstrated highest preclinical potency among oral SERDs, full ER antagonism, and strong combinability with CDK4/6 inhibitors.
LidERA trial showed 30% reduction in recurrence or death risk in adjuvant ER-positive breast cancer; PDUFA date set for November 30.
Multiple ongoing and new trials for giredestrant, including phase IIIb studies for upfront and switch strategies, and novERA for AI-intolerant patients.
