  • FDA Approves Celcuity’s Revtorpyk for PI3K-Pathway Targeted Breast Cancer Treatment

    The approval of Revtorpyk (gedatolisib) gives Celcuity a new treatment option for HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer patients without PIK3CA mutations, following positive Phase III VIKTORIA-1 data showing improved progression-free survival. Celcuity has received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Revtorpyk (gedatolisib), a targeted therapy designed to inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) signalling pathway in certain patients with advanced breast cancer. The therapy has been approved in combination with fulvestrant, with or without Pfizer’s Ibrance (palbociclib), for adults with: Hormone receptor-positive (HR-positive) HER2-negative Locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer Second-line or later disease No PIK3CA mutation The approval represents a new treatment approach for a subset of breast cancer patients who have historically had limited targeted therapy options. Following the regulatory decision, Celcuity shares initially increased by approximately 7% before giving back most gains in after-hours trading. How Revtorpyk Works in Breast Cancer Revtorpyk is an intravenously administered comprehensive inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, a signalling network involved in cancer cell growth, survival and treatment resistance. The PI3K pathway is one of the most frequently altered pathways in breast cancer, particularly in HR-positive, HER2-negative disease. Approximately 70% of breast cancers are HR-positive, HER2-negative, and around 40% of these tumours contain PIK3CA mutations. Unlike therapies targeting individual components of the pathway, Celcuity’s approach is designed to inhibit multiple signalling nodes within the PAM pathway. Phase III VIKTORIA-1 Trial Supports FDA Approval The FDA approval was supported by data from the Phase III VIKTORIA-1 trial, which evaluated Revtorpyk in patients with advanced HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The study enrolled 701 patients across both: PIK3CA-mutant tumours PIK3CA wild-type tumours Participants were randomised to receive: Revtorpyk plus fulvestrant and Ibrance Revtorpyk plus fulvestrant Fulvestrant alone Both patient populations met the trial’s primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). The FDA submission focused initially on the PIK3CA wild-type population, which received priority review earlier this year. Revtorpyk Demonstrated Progression-Free Survival Benefit in Wild-Type Breast Cancer In the PIK3CA wild-type cohort, Celcuity reported significant improvements with Revtorpyk-based treatment combinations. The triplet combination of: Revtorpyk Fulvestrant Ibrance reduced the risk of disease progression compared with fulvestrant alone. Key results included: Treatment Median Progression-Free Survival Revtorpyk + fulvestrant + Ibrance 9.3 months Fulvestrant alone 2 months This represented a 76% improvement in progression-free survival compared with fulvestrant monotherapy. The Revtorpyk and fulvestrant combination also demonstrated statistically significant benefit, achieving a median PFS of 7.4 months. Objective response rates were: 32% for Revtorpyk + fulvestrant + Ibrance 28% for Revtorpyk + fulvestrant 1% for fulvestrant alone Additional Opportunity in PIK3CA-Mutated Breast Cancer Celcuity is also pursuing a potential expansion into PIK3CA-mutated breast cancer, where Revtorpyk demonstrated positive results in the VIKTORIA-1 trial. In this patient group, the comparator was: Novartis’ PI3Kα inhibitor Piqray (alpelisib) plus fulvestrant Presented data showed: Revtorpyk triplet therapy reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 50% Revtorpyk plus fulvestrant reduced the risk by 49% Median progression-free survival was: Treatment Median PFS Revtorpyk + fulvestrant + Ibrance 11.1 months Revtorpyk + fulvestrant 11.3 months Piqray + fulvestrant 5.6 months Celcuity announced plans to submit a supplemental regulatory application based on these findings. Challenges Remain Around Intravenous Delivery Despite positive clinical results, questions remain around how Revtorpyk will compete in a treatment landscape increasingly focused on convenience and patient quality of life. Unlike many modern targeted therapies that are administered orally, Revtorpyk requires intravenous delivery. Some clinicians have highlighted this as a potential limitation, particularly in a disease setting where patients may prefer treatments that reduce hospital visits. Denise Yardley, associate director of breast cancer research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, noted that while Revtorpyk appeared more effective than Piqray, intravenous administration could create challenges for adoption. She also highlighted that PI3K-targeting therapies can be difficult to use due to side effects including: Rash Diarrhoea Hyperglycaemia The Future of PI3K-Targeted Breast Cancer Treatment Revtorpyk enters a competitive breast cancer market where pharmaceutical companies continue to develop increasingly targeted approaches based on tumour biology. The approval reinforces the importance of pathway-based therapies in HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, particularly for patients whose tumours do not contain traditional actionable mutations. For Celcuity, future success will depend on balancing clinical benefit with practical considerations such as administration burden, tolerability and positioning against established targeted therapies. Summary The FDA has approved Celcuity’s Revtorpyk (gedatolisib) for adults with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer without PIK3CA mutations. Supported by Phase III VIKTORIA-1 data, the therapy demonstrated improved progression-free survival when combined with fulvestrant, with or without Ibrance. While the approval expands treatment options for patients with limited alternatives, Celcuity will need to overcome challenges around intravenous delivery and the broader tolerability concerns associated with PI3K-targeting therapies as it seeks commercial adoption.

  • Kelun’s Merck-Partnered ADC Delivers Phase III Win in First-Line PD-L1-Negative Lung Cancer

    Sacituzumab tirumotecan plus Keytruda improves progression-free survival in advanced NSCLC, expanding potential role of ADC-immunotherapy combinations. Kelun-Biotech’s antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT), in combination with Merck & Co.’s Keytruda (pembrolizumab), has achieved a late-stage clinical success in first-line non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), strengthening the potential of ADC-immunotherapy combinations across a broader patient population. The Phase III OptiTROP-Lung06 trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating that sac-TMT plus Keytruda delivered a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) compared with Keytruda combined with standard chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. The positive results focus specifically on patients with PD-L1 tumour proportion scores below 1% — a population with limited response to existing immunotherapy approaches. Expanding Treatment Options in PD-L1-Negative NSCLC The OptiTROP-Lung06 study enrolled 432 patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumours had PD-L1 expression levels below 1%. Patients were randomised to receive either: Sacituzumab tirumotecan plus Keytruda Keytruda plus pemetrexed and platinum-based chemotherapy The study’s primary endpoint was progression-free survival assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Top-line results showed the ADC combination achieved a significant improvement in PFS compared with the chemotherapy-based regimen. The combination also demonstrated a positive trend in overall survival, although further follow-up will be required to determine the full impact. Kelun reported that the safety profile remained consistent with previous studies, with no new safety concerns identified. The company plans to discuss the results with Chinese regulatory authorities. Merck’s Strategic Bet on Sac-TMT The latest results reinforce Merck’s growing investment in sac-TMT, following its agreement with Kelun-Biotech in 2022 for exclusive rights outside China. Under the partnership, Merck gained global development and commercialisation rights for the TROP2-targeting ADC, while Kelun continues to develop the asset in China. Sac-TMT, marketed as Jia Tai Lai in China, has already received approval in four indications, including: Triple-negative breast cancer EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer The ADC is now being evaluated across multiple tumour types as Merck looks to expand its oncology pipeline ahead of future market challenges. Building Momentum Across Lung Cancer Studies The OptiTROP-Lung06 success follows another Phase III win for the combination in first-line NSCLC. In the OptiTROP-Lung05 trial, sac-TMT plus Keytruda demonstrated improved PFS compared with Keytruda alone in treatment-naïve patients with PD-L1-positive NSCLC. Additional data presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting showed the combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 65% compared with Keytruda monotherapy after a median follow-up of 10.5 months. Together, the results suggest sac-TMT could have potential across a wide range of NSCLC patients, regardless of PD-L1 status. Kelun CEO Michael GE said the combined findings from OptiTROP-Lung05 and OptiTROP-Lung06 highlight the “strong synergetic effect” of sac-TMT combined with Keytruda and support its potential to benefit the broader first-line NSCLC population. The Growing Role of ADCs in Oncology ADC technology has become one of the most competitive areas in oncology development, combining the targeting ability of antibodies with the cancer-killing effects of cytotoxic payloads. By selectively delivering therapy to tumour cells, ADCs aim to improve efficacy while reducing systemic toxicity compared with traditional chemotherapy. Sac-TMT is currently being investigated in 10 registrational lung cancer studies, including five trials in China and five global studies. Beyond lung cancer, the ADC has also achieved a late-stage success in endometrial cancer and forms part of Merck’s wider TroFuse Phase III programme evaluating ADC-based combinations across multiple tumour types. What This Means for the NSCLC Market The latest Phase III success adds further momentum to the shift towards combination approaches in lung cancer treatment. While PD-1 inhibitors such as Keytruda have transformed NSCLC care, many patients — particularly those with low or absent PD-L1 expression — continue to require more effective treatment options. If future regulatory submissions are successful, sac-TMT plus Keytruda could strengthen Merck’s position in a highly competitive lung cancer market while demonstrating the expanding role of ADCs beyond traditional chemotherapy-based treatment pathways. For pharmaceutical companies, the result also highlights the growing importance of strategic partnerships with biotech innovators as major players look to build next-generation oncology portfolios.

  • Merck’s Lipfendra Becomes First FDA-Approved Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor for High Cholesterol

    Oral cholesterol therapy offers an alternative to injectable PCSK9 inhibitors as Merck targets multi-billion-dollar cardiovascular market. Merck & Co. (MSD) has secured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Lipfendra (enlicitide), making it the first once-daily oral PCSK9 inhibitor approved in the US for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in adults with hypercholesterolaemia, including heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HeFH). The approval marks a significant milestone in the cholesterol treatment landscape, introducing an oral alternative to injectable PCSK9 inhibitors that have transformed LDL-C management over the past decade. First Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor Approved in the US Lipfendra is indicated for adults with hypercholesterolaemia, including patients with HeFH, and works by inhibiting PCSK9, a protein involved in regulating LDL cholesterol levels. Unlike existing PCSK9 therapies, which require injections every two weeks or monthly, Lipfendra is administered as a once-daily tablet, potentially offering greater convenience for patients and expanding access to this class of cholesterol-lowering medicines. Dean Y. Li, President of Merck Research Laboratories, described the approval as a pivotal moment, saying the drug provides patients with an important new treatment option. Phase III Trials Demonstrated Significant LDL-C Reduction The FDA approval was supported by data from two Phase III clinical trials: CORALreef Lipids CORALreef HeFH In the CORALreef HeFH study, Lipfendra achieved approximately 59% LDL-C reduction versus placebo in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia. Meanwhile, the CORALreef Lipids trial demonstrated an almost 56% reduction in LDL-C among patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Merck is also conducting a cardiovascular outcomes study to determine whether LDL-C reductions translate into lower rates of heart attacks, strokes and cardiovascular death. Challenging the Injectable PCSK9 Market The PCSK9 inhibitor market has traditionally been dominated by injectable biologics, including: Amgen's Repatha (evolocumab) Sanofi and Regeneron's Praluent (alirocumab) While these medicines have demonstrated strong efficacy, injectable administration has been viewed as a barrier for some patients. Lipfendra's oral formulation could broaden use of PCSK9 inhibition, particularly within primary care settings where physicians may favour a tablet over injectable therapy. Pricing also appears central to Merck's commercial strategy. Lipfendra will launch with a list price of approximately $315 per month, substantially below the typical $500–600 monthly cost of existing injectable PCSK9 inhibitors. Analysts believe this pricing strategy could accelerate adoption and expand the overall market rather than simply compete for existing patients. Strategic Importance for Merck Lipfendra represents one of Merck's most important late-stage pipeline assets as the company prepares for the eventual loss of exclusivity of blockbuster immunotherapy Keytruda (pembrolizumab) in 2028. The company has identified several pipeline medicines expected to drive future growth, with Lipfendra viewed as a potential multi-billion-dollar product. Analysts suggest that widespread uptake among primary care physicians could generate peak annual sales approaching $5bn, particularly if oral therapy encourages earlier use of PCSK9 inhibition in cholesterol management. Competition Continues to Build Although Lipfendra is the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor to reach the market, competition is already emerging. AstraZeneca is developing AZD0780, an investigational oral PCSK9 inhibitor that has demonstrated nearly 51% LDL-C reduction in mid-stage studies. One potential differentiator may be dosing convenience. Lipfendra must be taken on an empty stomach, with patients required to wait at least 30 minutes before eating, while AstraZeneca's candidate has not demonstrated the same fasting requirement. As oral PCSK9 therapies enter clinical practice, convenience, pricing and long-term cardiovascular outcomes are likely to become key differentiators. Outlook The approval of Lipfendra introduces the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor into clinical practice and could reshape the treatment landscape for patients requiring intensive LDL-C lowering. By combining efficacy comparable to injectable therapies with oral administration and competitive pricing, Merck is positioning Lipfendra to expand adoption of PCSK9 inhibition beyond specialist care. With cardiovascular outcomes data still to come and additional oral competitors in development, the approval represents the beginning of a new phase in cholesterol management rather than the end of the story.
