Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 1, 2026, the Company announced the initiation of a NDA submission to the FDA for zipalertinib in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with previously untreated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR ex20ins mutations under the FDA’s RTOR program. The RTOR program allows sponsors to submit clinical data in advance of the complete application to facilitate earlier review of efficacy and safety results. Completion of the Company's NDA submission is expected by year-end 2026.
The NDA submission is based on data from the Phase 3 REZILIENT3 trial, which met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in median progression-free survival for zipalertinib plus chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone. These results were recently presented at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer’s 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer during a Presidential Symposium.
Zipalertinib holds FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR ex20ins NSCLC who have previously received platinum-based chemotherapy. An NDA seeking accelerated approval for zipalertinib monotherapy in this indication remains under FDA review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act target action date of February 27, 2027.
The Company is eligible to receive (i) a $30.0 million payment from Taiho upon U.S. regulatory approval of zipalertinib for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR ex20ins NSCLC who have previously received platinum-based systemic chemotherapy, and (ii) up to a $100.0 million payment from Taiho upon U.S. regulatory approval of zipalertinib for the first-line treatment for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFR ex20ins NSCLC.
