“We need all the capital we can get our hands on," the company states. The RAS inhibitor specialist Revolution Medicines was already well funded, but a deal with Royalty Pharma, announced on Tuesday, has given the group a total $4bn pot to draw on. The company’s stock initially slumped 2%, likely on fears that the agreement could make a buyout less likely, but rallied to close flat by the end of the day.

Syndax and Kura have been vying in menin inhibition for some time, and now the FDA has set up a new clash between the companies, with the PDUFA dates for their assets only around a month apart. The big day for Syndax’s contender, Revuforj, will come before that of Kura’s Kyowa Kirin-partnered project, ziftomenib, despite the fact that Syndax only made its announcement on Tuesday, while Kura’s splash came over three weeks ago.

The companies have trumped Gilead’s Trodelvy with a lung cancer approval. AstraZeneca and Daiichi’s Datroway U-turn in non-small cell lung cancer has paid off: the TROP2-targeting ADC has just gained US accelerated approval for second-line EGFR-mutated disease. This is a narrower niche than the second-line non-squamous market the partners had once been aiming for, but it’s a good result given the thumbs up was largely based on an uncontrolled phase 2 trial, Tropion-Lung05.

After ArriVent last year signalled its intent in a new non-small cell cancer genetic subtype, EGFR PACC mutations, the company is pushing into phase 3 here with its EGFR inhibitor firmonertinib. The upcoming front-line Alpacca study could support an FDA accelerated approval based on overall response rate, ArriVent said during an investor call on Monday.

Zanzalintinib prevails in all comers, but full data will show if the win was driven by a subgroup. Exelixis, facing questions about its Cabometyx successor zanzalintinib, claimed a win on Sunday in the phase 3 Stellar-303 trial in relapsed colorectal cancer. The company will hope that this scotches doubts about whether the project works in patients with liver metastases, though this question still remains unclear.
