Investor update summary

4 Jun, 2026

Oncology 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.
