Nurix Therapeutics Announces First Patient Enrolled in Registrational Phase 3 DAYBreak CLL-306 Trial of Bexobrutideg in Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

On August 4, 2026 Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRIX) reported that the first patient has been enrolled in the global Phase 3 DAYBreak CLL-306 study (NCT07516093) evaluating bexobrutideg, a potential best-in-class targeted protein degrader of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), in patients with relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) who have previously received a covalent BTK inhibitor. The global study is being conducted under the collaboration between Nurix and Roche and marks the first Phase 3 trial for bexobrutideg. The registrational study is designed to demonstrate the superiority of bexobrutideg versus the non-covalent BTK inhibitor pirtobrutinib, the current standard of care in this treatment setting for patients whose disease has progressed following prior covalent BTK inhibitor therapy.

"This is an important milestone for the global bexobrutideg development program with the potential to redefine the treatment landscape for patients with CLL through a head-to-head comparison of BTK degradation versus non-covalent inhibition," said Arthur T. Sands, M.D., Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Nurix. "We believe targeted protein degradation offers a fundamentally differentiated approach to addressing disease targets as compared to traditional small molecule inhibition, and this trial is designed to test whether that differentiation translates into superior outcomes for patients. Together with Roche, we are committed to advancing an ambitious global development program intended to fully realize the potential of BTK degradation across oncology, immunology and neurology."

The randomized Phase 3 trial is expected to enroll approximately 620 patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL who have previously progressed on a covalent BTK inhibitor. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either bexobrutideg 600 mg orally once per day or pirtobrutinib. The dual primary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS), as assessed by an independent review committee. The study is designed to evaluate the potential superiority of bexobrutideg relative to pirtobrutinib and support global regulatory submissions.

"Bexobrutideg has demonstrated robust clinical activity in the setting of relapsed/refractory CLL with a favorable safety and tolerability profile," said Paula O’Connor, M.D., chief medical officer of Nurix. "The initiation of DAYBreak CLL-306 reflects our commitment to bringing innovative treatment options to patients with CLL who continue to face significant unmet medical needs."

About Bexobrutideg (NX-5948)
Bexobrutideg (NX-5948) is an investigational, orally bioavailable, brain-penetrant, highly selective small-molecule degrader of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) being developed by Nurix and Roche as a potential best-in-class therapy across oncology, immunology and neurology.

​​​Bexobrutideg is currently being evaluated in a broad clinical development program in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) including the DAYBreak CLL-201 clinical trial (NCT07221500), a pivotal single-arm Phase 2 study in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL, the DAYBreak CLL-306 clinical trial (NCT07516093), a randomized Phase 3 trial comparing bexobrutideg to pirtobrutinib in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL, and the NX-5948-301 Phase 1a/1b clinical trial (NCT05131022) in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. Nurix’s plans also include the NX-5948-203 Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT07520006), assessing the combination of bexobrutideg with venetoclax with or without an anti-CD20 antibody in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL and treatment naïve CLL. A new tablet formulation of bexobrutideg is being evaluated in a first-in-human single-ascending-dose and multiple-ascending-dose study in healthy volunteers (NCT06717269) to support future development in immunology and neurology indications. Additional information about these clinical trials can be found at clinicaltrials.gov.

Rupitasertib is a first-in-class oral dual-node PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) pathway inhibitor, which selectively inhibits S6K and AKT1/3. Rupitasertib was purposefully and rationally designed to target S6K for potent PAM inhibition and AKT1/3 to block the AKT compensatory feedback loop, while sparing AKT2 to avoid hyperglycemia, which we believe will lead to a superior efficacy and safety profile compared to other PAM pathway inhibitors.

Under the terms of the agreement, Roche will supply giredestrant and Evexta Bio will conduct the Phase 1b study assessing the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of rupitasertib in combination with giredestrant in ER+, HER2-, ESR1-mutated advanced / metastatic breast cancer. The study is intended to enroll at least 15 patients and is expected to be initiated in Q4 2026.

Dr. Shawn M. Leland, PharmD, RPh, Board Chairman of Evexta Bio stated: "We are very pleased and excited to partner with Roche on Evexta Bio’s first clinical collaboration with rupitasertib. ER+, HER2-, ESR1-mutated breast cancer remains a significant unmet medical need. We are looking forward to being able to provide ER+, HER2-, ESR1-mutated breast cancer patients with the option to receive an all-oral regimen of a first-in-class, dual-node PAM pathway inhibitor and a SERD."

"Our progress during the quarter has helped position us to fully capitalize on the promise of our platform in oncology and neurology," said Randy Teel, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at Arvinas. "The approval of VEPPANU, the first ever for a PROTAC degrader, was a significant achievement for the Company, and our subsequent licensing of VEPPANU to Rigel Pharmaceuticals promises to unlock its commercial potential and provide access to patients as efficiently as possible."

"As we move into the second half of the year, enrollment in our ongoing Phase 1 trials is strong and we have important data milestones planned over the next 12 months for ARV-393, ARV-102, and ARV-027," continued Dr. Teel. "In addition, we are initiating our first immuno-oncology Phase 1 trial with ARV-6723 – an HPK1 degrader that has shown meaningful single-agent activity in preclinical models where neither an inhibitor nor an anti-PD1 therapy has shown benefit. Altogether, our pipeline has the potential to address high unmet medical needs and maximize both clinical impact and long-term shareholder value."

Financial Guidance
Based on its current operating plan, Arvinas believes its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of June 30, 2026, is sufficient to fund planned operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the second half of 2028.
Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities Position: As of June 30, 2026, cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $567.9 million as compared with $685.4 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $117.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was primarily related to cash used in operations of $114.3 million (net of $35.0 million received under the Rigel License Agreement), unrealized losses on marketable securities of $2.0 million, and the purchase of lab equipment and leasehold improvements of $1.5 million.

Research and Development Expenses: Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) research and development (R&D) expenses were $52.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with $68.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in R&D expenses of $16.0 million for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in compensation and related personnel expenses of $11.0 million, which are not allocated by program, and a decrease in external expenses of $3.2 million. External expenses include (i) program-specific expenses, which decreased by $0.6 million, primarily driven by a decrease in our vepdegestrant (ARV-471) program of $10.6 million, partially offset by increases in our ARV-806, ARV-027, and ARV-393 programs of $3.9 million, $3.2 million, and $2.3 million, respectively.
Non-GAAP R&D expenses were $51.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with $59.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, excluding $0.3 million and $0.6 million of restructuring expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and $0.9 million and $8.5 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release can be found at the end of this press release.

General and Administrative Expenses: GAAP general and administrative (G&A) expenses were $24.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with $25.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in G&A expenses of $1.3 million for the quarter was primarily due to decreases in personnel and infrastructure related costs of $3.9 million, and costs related to developing our commercial operations of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in professional fees of $4.2 million, inclusive of an increase in the amortization of costs to obtain a contract related to the Pfizer Letter Agreement supplementing and amending the terms of the Original Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement and professional fees related to the Rigel License Agreement.

Non-GAAP G&A expenses were $18.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with $18.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, excluding $1.3 million and $0.4 million of restructuring expenses for the quarters ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, and $4.3 million and $6.8 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release can be found at the end of this press release.

Cost of License Revenue: Cost of license revenue was $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with zero for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $9.0 million was due to expenses under the Amended Yale License Agreement related to the FDA’s approval of VEPPANU and the entry into the Rigel License Agreement.
Revenue: Revenue was $249.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, as compared with $22.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Revenue for the quarter is related to the Original Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer, the research collaboration agreement with Pfizer and the Rigel License Agreement. The increase of $227.3 million was primarily due to $112.6 million of revenue from the Original Vepdegestrant (ARV-471) Collaboration Agreement with Pfizer driven by the recognition of the remaining deferred revenue upon entry into the Rigel License Agreement of $126.4 million, partially offset by a decrease in revenue of $13.8 million for the period prior to the Rigel License Agreement. In addition, we recognized $62.5 million of revenue from the Rigel License Agreement, and $50.0 million of revenue from a development milestone payment in connection with the FDA’s approval of VEPPANU.
