The Horizon segment encompasses the capacity sold to Alaska under a CPA. The company was founded in 1985 and is headquartered in Seattle, WA.
The phase II ALNEO trial achieved its primary endpoint, demonstrating a 46% major pathological response rate with neoadjuvant alectinib in 33 patients with potentially resectable stage III ALK-positive NSCLC.
The Phase II NeoCOAST-2 trial evaluated three novel pre-surgical treatment combinations for resectable non-small cell lung cancer, with the antibody-drug conjugate datopotamab deruxtecan (Dato-DXd) arm achieving the highest pathological complete response rate at 35.2%.
A discrete choice experiment with 205 ALK+ NSCLC patients and 125 caregivers found that both groups overwhelmingly prioritized 3-year progression-free survival when making treatment decisions.
Nuvalent will present preliminary dose-escalation data from the ALKOVE-1 Phase 1/2 trial of NVL-655, marking the first clinical disclosure for this next-generation ALK inhibitor.
The phase 2 ROSALINE trial found that combining entrectinib with letrozole failed to meet its primary endpoint, with no efficacy-evaluable patients achieving residual cancer burden (RCB) of 0 or 1 in invasive lobular breast cancer.
The ALEK-B phase 2 trial demonstrated that combining alectinib with bevacizumab significantly improved progression-free survival in ALK-positive NSCLC patients, with 97% remaining progression-free at 12 months and 64% at 36 months.
Neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is showing significant promise for locally advanced, resectable non-small cell lung cancer, with patient selection guided by PD-L1 expression, tumor mutational burden, and overall health status.
Lorlatinib demonstrated a 60% progression-free survival rate at 5 years in patients with ALK-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer, according to data from the phase 3 CROWN study presented at ASCO 2024.
Nuvalent is preparing to submit its first New Drug Application by mid-2025 for zidesamtinib in TKI pre-treated ROS1-positive NSCLC, with pivotal data expected in the first half of 2025.
A groundbreaking case report from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia demonstrates successful long-term remission in hereditary neuroblastoma patients using targeted ALK inhibitors, potentially transforming treatment protocols.
