"Our late-stage firmonertinib program continues to make strong progress across EGFR-mutant NSCLC populations, with two global Phase 3 pivotal studies being conducted in uncommon EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Backed by compelling data in both PACC and exon 20 insertion mutations, firmonertinib consistently shows the potential to address significant unmet needs in these underserved patient populations," said Bing Yao, CEO of ArriVent. "Following our strong Phase 1b findings, we are advancing to pivotal development with enrollment of the first patient in our global pivotal Phase 3 trial for PACC mutant NSCLC expected in the fourth quarter of this year. Additionally, we project topline pivotal data from our global Phase 3 trial in exon 20 insertion mutant NSCLC in early 2026, a patient population for which firmonertinib received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation."
Dr. Yao continued, "Our antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) portfolio is also advancing with our lead candidate ARR-217, a CDH17-targeted ADC with best-in-class potential for the treatment of gastrointestinal cancers, in an ongoing Phase 1 trial. We expect additional ADC programs to progress toward the clinic, expanding our ADC portfolio across multiple solid tumor indications. With a strong balance sheet and projected cash runway into mid-2027, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver on multiple near-term catalysts."
Third Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights
Firmonertinib
● Final Phase 1b data in EGFR PACC mutant NSCLC. In September 2025, ArriVent presented final proof-of-concept data from the randomized global Phase 1b FURTHER trial for first-line firmonertinib monotherapy in patients with NSCLC harboring EGFR PACC mutations at the 2025 World Conference on Lung Cancer (WCLC). Firmonertinib demonstrated clinically meaningful progression free survival, central nervous system (CNS) complete responses, and a manageable safety profile consistent with previous trials in what we believe to be the first clinical dataset testing an EGFR inhibitor in a prospectively defined population of EGFR PACC mutant NSCLC.
Pipeline
● Clinical advancement of ADC lead candidate ARR-217 (MRG007). Phase 1 dose escalation continues in the Phase 1 study for ARR-217, a CDH17-targeted ADC, in gastrointestinal malignancies with our partner, Lepu Biopharma Co., Ltd. In addition, ArriVent has received FDA IND clearance for ARR-217.
Upcoming Milestones
● First-line EGFR PACC registrational study. Enrollment of first patient in the randomized, global pivotal ALPACCA Phase 3 study for first-line firmonertinib monotherapy in EGFR PACC mutant NSCLC expected in Q4 2025.
● Firmonertinib Pivotal EGFR exon 20 insertion data. Top-line firmonertinib monotherapy data from the global pivotal FURVENT Phase 3 (NCT05607550) study for first-line EGFR exon 20 insertion mutant NSCLC is projected to be in early 2026.
Corporate
● Appointed Brent S. Rice as Chief Commercial Officer. In September 2025, ArriVent appointed Brent S. Rice as Chief Commercial Officer who joins ArriVent with over 25 years of U.S. and global commercial experience in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry. Before joining ArriVent, Brent most recently served as the Senior Vice President and global Chief Commercial Officer, and Managing Director U.S. at Autolus Therapeutics Ltd. where he led global commercialization, commercial strategy and business portfolio management of their early and late-stage pipeline, including next generation oncology therapies.
