About this update from Nuvalent, Inc.
Updated Phase 1 data from ALKOVE-1 and ARROS-1 clinical trials to be presented at the ESMO Congress 2024 Durable activity of NVL-655 and zidesamtinib in heavily pre-treated patient populations supports ongoing Phase 2 investigation in earlier lines of treatment Company plans to host a conference call on September 14, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CEST following oral presentations at ESMO CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuvalent, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUVL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating precisely targeted therapies for clinically proven kinase targets in cancer, today announced data from abstracts to be presented at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024 in Barcelona, Spain, including updates from the Phase 1 portions of the ongoing ALKOVE-1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ALK-selective inhibitor NVL-655 and ARROS-1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial of ROS1-selective inhibitor zidesamtinib, and new preclinical data further characterizing the intracranial activity of zidesamtinib accepted for a poster session. The Phase 1 data described in the abstracts will be updated in two oral presentations at ESMO and discussed during a live webcast and conference call with management on Saturday, September 14, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. ET/2:30 p.m. CEST, along with updates on the status of the global Phase 2 portions of both studies which are designed with registrational intent. "Our development strategy has been anchored around our guiding hypothesis: that we could drive deep and durable responses for patients by creating precisely targeted therapies that address the limitations of currently available options. We believe the data from the fully enrolled Phase 1 portions of our ALKOVE-1 and ARROS-1 clinical trials continue to support the potential for our parallel lead programs to achieve this goal through addressing the combined challenges of treatment-emergent resistance, brain metastases, and off-target central nervous system (CNS) adverse events," said Christopher Turner, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Nuvalent. "We are particularly encouraged by the durability of responses seen with both NVL-655 and zidesamtinib in these heavily pre-treated patient populations, which we believe has the potential to be differentiated and to translate into meaningful improvements in earlier lines of treatment." "Complementary to our cl...
