RYBREVANT® (amivantamab-vmjw) longer-term results show promising and durable responses in difficult-to-treat colorectal cancer

On January 11, 2026 Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) reported new longer follow-up results from the investigational Phase 1b/2 OrigAMI-1 study evaluating amivantamab-vmjw, a bispecific antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and MET, in combination with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI chemotherapy in patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. The encouraging anti-tumor activity, durable responses, and low rates of treatment-related discontinuations observed in this study support further investigation in ongoing Phase 3 studies in first- and second-line colorectal cancer. Results were presented during a poster session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Gastrointestinal Cancers (ASCO GI) Symposium (Abstract #166).1

"These results show the potential of amivantamab combined with chemotherapy to deliver meaningful and durable benefit for people with advanced colorectal cancer, including for those with liver metastases who have historically faced poorer outcomes," said Dr. Filippo Pietrantonio,* M.D., Head of the Gastrointestinal Oncology Unit, IRCCS Foundation, National Cancer Institute, Milan, Italy. "Seeing patients maintain responses for extended periods, some beyond two years, is a powerful sign of progress in a disease where sustained efficacy has been hard to achieve and speaks to the promise of this treatment approach."

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, and a leading cause of cancer-related death.2 While traditionally seen in older adults, incidence is rising in people under 50.3 More than half of patients will eventually develop metastatic disease, with liver involvement in roughly 70 percent of cases. In this setting, resistance to current first-line therapies often develops early, shortening the time patients can benefit.4 For those with RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer with disease progression, second-line options remain limited, with historical response rates of 32 to 36 percent and median progression-free survival (PFS) of 5.4 to 6.4 months using EGFR inhibitors and chemotherapy.5,6,7,8,9,10 Research has shown that MET alterations are a frequent cause of resistance to EGFR-inhibition, highlighting a need for new approaches that target both pathways simultaneously.11

Detailed Study Results

Cohorts D and E of the Phase 1b/2 OrigAMI-1 study evaluated intravenous amivantamab as monotherapy or in combination with either FOLFOX or FOLFIRI chemotherapy in patients with RAS/BRAF wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. Patients were confirmed to be negative for KRAS, NRAS, BRAF and EGFR mutations, and did not have HER2 amplification. They could have received one prior line of systemic therapy in the metastatic setting, and prior treatment with an EGFR inhibitor was not permitted. The primary endpoint was safety, and secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), clinical benefit rate, and PFS. Overall survival was assessed as an exploratory endpoint.1

At a median follow-up of 16 months (range, 1.2-29.5), amivantamab plus FOLFOX (n=20) or FOLFIRI (n=23) achieved a confirmed ORR of 51 percent (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 36-67) across the study, with responses observed early and a median time to first response of 8.3 weeks (range, 7.3-20.3), along with a median DOR of 9.3 months (95 percent CI, 5.8-14.7). Median PFS was 9.2 months (95 percent CI, 5.4-12.9), and median overall survival was not estimable (NE) (95 percent CI, 16.2-NE). In the first-line subgroup, ORR was 73 percent (95 percent CI, 53-86), with median DOR not yet reached at the time of data cutoff (95 percent CI, 7.3-NE). Among 11 patients treated in the first-line subgroup, four were able to proceed to curative intent surgery. In the second-line subgroup (n=32), ORR was 44 percent (95 percent CI, 26-62) and median DOR was 7.4 months (95 percent CI, 5.4-14.5). More than one-third of patients treated in the second-line setting remained on therapy for over one year, and three patients have stayed on amivantamab treatment for more than two years. In patients with liver metastases (n=30), the study showed notable activity, with an ORR of 57 percent (95 percent CI, 37-75) and a median PFS of 11.3 months (95 percent CI, 5.9-16.4).1

The safety profile remained consistent with prior reports of amivantamab plus chemotherapy in colorectal cancer and with the known safety profiles of the individual agents. Treatment-emergent adverse events were primarily related to EGFR and MET inhibition and known chemotherapy-associated effects. Four patients (9 percent) discontinued therapy due to treatment-related adverse events. The most common Grade 3 or higher event was neutropenia, and no new safety signals were observed.1

"Treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer has remained largely unchanged for many years, underscoring the need for new strategies," said Kiran Patel, M.D., Vice President, Global Head, Solid Tumor Clinical Development and Companion Diagnostics, Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine. "We are drawing on our scientific leadership in EGFR-driven lung cancer to evaluate the potential of amivantamab, and its dual-targeting of EGFR and MET, in colorectal cancer and other solid tumors driven by these pathways."

Pivotal Phase 3 studies, including the global, randomized OrigAMI-2 and OrigAMI-3 studies evaluating subcutaneous amivantamab with FOLFOX and FOLFIRI, are underway to further evaluate the potential of amivantamab-based regimens in both first- and second-line colorectal cancer.

About the OrigAMI-1 Study

OrigAMI-1 (NCT05379595) is an open-label, Phase 1b/2 study assessing the efficacy and safety of RYBREVANT plus mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI in anti-EGFR-naïve RAS/BRAF WT mCRC. Eligible patients were wild-type (WT) for KRAS, NRAS or BRAF genes based on circulating tumor DNA testing. Additionally, patients were required to have no amplification of the ERBB2/HER2 gene. In the RYBREVANT and chemotherapy cohorts, patients were either treatment-naïve or had received at least one prior line in the metastatic setting (no EGFR inhibitor treatment). The primary endpoint of the combination cohorts was to characterize the safety and confirm the dose of RYBREVANT plus mFOLFOX6 or FOLFIRI. Response was assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1.12

About Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, accounting for approximately 10 percent of all cancer cases, and is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.2 While it predominantly affects older individuals, recent research suggests that colorectal cancer is now being diagnosed in adults under the age of 50 at record rates.3

Left-sided colorectal cancer, which represents approximately 65 percent of cases, often has distinct characteristics that influence treatment strategies. Around half of colorectal cancer patients have mutations in the RAS genes, with KRAS being the most common mutation. While tumors with normal RAS and BRAF genes generally respond better to EGFR inhibitors, those with RAS and BRAF mutations – particularly on the left side – are associated with poorer outcomes.13

In PALOMA-3 (n=206), all Grade VTE occurred in 11% of patients and 1.5% were Grade 3. 80% (n=164) of patients received prophylactic anticoagulation at study entry, with an all Grade VTE incidence of 7%. In patients who did not receive prophylactic anticoagulation (n=42), all Grade VTE occurred in 17% of patients. In total, 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of RYBREVANT FASPRO and no patients required permanent discontinuation. The median time to onset of VTEs was 95 days (range: 17 to 390).

RYBREVANT with LAZCLUZE

In MARIPOSA (n=421), VTEs occurred in 36% of patients including Grade 3 in 10% and Grade 4 in 0.5% of patients. On-study VTEs occurred in 1.2% of patients (n=5) while receiving anticoagulation therapy. There were two fatal cases of VTE (0.5%), 9% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of RYBREVANT, and 7% of patients had VTE leading to dose interruptions of LAZCLUZE; 1% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of RYBREVANT, and 0.5% of patients had VTE leading to dose reductions of LAZCLUZE; 3.1% of patients had VTE leading to permanent discontinuation of RYBREVANT, and 1.9% of patients had VTE leading to permanent discontinuation of LAZCLUZE. The median time to onset of VTEs was 84 days (range: 6 to 777).

Administer prophylactic anticoagulation for the first four months of treatment. The use of Vitamin K antagonists is not recommended.

Monitor for signs and symptoms of VTE events and treat as medically appropriate. Withhold RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE based on severity. Once anticoagulant treatment has been initiated, resume RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. In the event of VTE recurrence despite therapeutic anticoagulation, permanently discontinue RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT. Treatment can continue with LAZCLUZE at the same dose level at the discretion of the healthcare provider. Refer to the LAZCLUZE Prescribing Information for recommended LAZCLUZE dosage modification.

In CHRYSALIS, rash occurred in 74% of patients, including Grade 3 in 3.3% of patients. The median time to onset of rash was 14 days (range: 1 to 276 days). Rash leading to dose reduction occurred in 5% and permanent discontinuation due to rash occurred in 0.7% of patients. Toxic epidermal necrolysis occurred in one patient (0.3%).

When initiating treatment with RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT and LAZCLUZE, prophylactic and concomitant medications are recommended to reduce the risk and severity of dermatologic adverse reactions. Instruct patients to limit sun exposure during and for 2 months after treatment. Advise patients to wear protective clothing and use broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen.

If skin reactions develop, administer supportive care including topical corticosteroids and topical and/or oral antibiotics. For Grade 3 reactions, add oral steroids and consider dermatologic consultation. Promptly refer patients presenting with severe rash, atypical appearance or distribution, or lack of improvement within 2 weeks to a dermatologist. For patients receiving RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT in combination with LAZCLUZE, withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue both drugs based on severity. For patients receiving RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT as a single agent or in combination with carboplatin and pemetrexed, withhold, dose reduce or permanently discontinue RYBREVANT FASPRO or RYBREVANT based on severity.

"2025 was a year of execution, marked by broad pipeline advancement, commercial readiness activities for darovasertib, and the filing of four INDs resulting in nine clinical programs. Our deep pipeline and cash runway into 2030 enable IDEAYA to advance key combinations and to address multiple indications with high unmet need, including uveal melanoma, small cell lung cancer, neuroendocrine cancer, breast cancer, and MTAP-deleted lung, pancreatic, and urothelial cancers. In 2026, we plan to advance four registrational trials, including for IDE849, our Phase 1 DLL3 TOP1 ADC, as a monotherapy agent in neuroendocrine cancer, and darovasertib in both pre-metastatic and metastatic settings of uveal melanoma. These trials for darovasertib are central to our strategy to save eyes, preserve vision, and extend lives for patients with uveal melanoma – one of the poorest prognosis indications in oncology where the majority of patients have no available FDA approved therapies," said Yujiro S. Hata, President and Chief Executive Officer of IDEAYA Biosciences.

2026 Corporate Objectives

Darovasertib in uveal melanoma (UM)

Topline results, including progression free survival (PFS) data, from ongoing registrational Phase 2/3 OptimUM-02 trial of the darovasertib and crizotinib combination in first line (1L) patients with HLA*A2-negative metastatic UM (mUM) are expected in Q1 ’26
Randomized PFS analysis is based on the first 130 PFS events from the intent-to-treat population (ITT) enrolled in the Phase 2b/3 portion of the trial, which comprises approximately 313 patients randomized 2:1 to the treatment versus control arm. The topline PFS results, if positive, are anticipated to enable a potential accelerated approval filing in the United States
Darovasertib is anticipated to be in three randomized, Phase 3 registrational trials across all stages of uveal melanoma by H1 ’26
OptimUM-02 (mUM): full enrollment of 437 patients complete; overall survival (OS) data expected to support a filing for full approval in 1L HLA*A2-negative mUM
OptimUM-10 (neoadjuvant): complete full enrollment of approximately 450 patients across enucleation and plaque brachytherapy cohorts by H1 ’27
OptimUM-11 (adjuvant): initiate trial in collaboration with Servier in Q2 ’26
Complete enrollment of approximately 80 HLA*A2-positive mUM patients in ongoing single-arm, Phase 2 OptimUM-01 trial of darovasertib in combination with crizotinib by Q2 ’26; data to support a potential real world evidence (RWE) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or NCCN/compendia listing in this patient subset
Antibody-drug Conjugate (ADC) + DNA damage response (DDR) combinations

IDE849 (DLL3 TOP1 ADC): target to initiate a monotherapy registrational study in the second line/refractory setting (2L+) of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and/or neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) by the end of 2026
IDE034 (B7H3/PTK7 bispecific TOP1 ADC): initiate Phase 1 dose escalation trial in Q1 ’26
IDE161 (PARG): initiate clinical combination studies with IDE849 in SCLC, NEC and other DLL3-overexpressing solid tumors in Q2 ’26
MTAP Pathway

IDE397 (MAT2A): provide updated data from Phase 1/2 combination trial with Trodelvy in MTAP-deleted urothelial cancer (UC) at a medical conference in 2026

"We are excited to have opened our Phase 1/2a trial in the US for MP0712, our Radio-DARPin targeting DLL3, and look forward to seeing initial clinical data in 2026. Our half-life optimized approach allows us to capitalize on the rapid target internalization to deposit more radiation compared to peptide-like approaches, affording us the ambition to become a leader in alpha-targeted radiotherapy in SCLC," said Patrick Amstutz, Ph.D., CEO of Molecular Partners. "Next to MP0726 targeting MSLN for ovarian cancer, we are working on 4 additional radiotherapy programs and will update on progress in H1 2026. In addition to our Radio-DARPin pipeline, we are progressing MP0317 and MP0533 in clinical trials, ideally led by investigators, and planning first Switch-DARPin candidates for development."

Cash and Cash Equivalents:
As of December 31, 2025, Molecular Partners reports cash and cash equivalents of CHF 93.1 million (unaudited). Based on current operating assumptions, this will be sufficient to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements until 2028. The Company will provide full 2025 financial results on March 12, 2026.

Key current program status updates include:

MP0712 & Radio-DARPin pipeline

MP0712, the Company’s lead Radio-DARPin Therapy (RDT) based on 212Pb and targeting the tumor-associated protein delta-like ligand 3 (DLL3), is being developed with strategic partner Orano Med, pioneer in targeted alpha therapy, for the treatment of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other neuroendocrine cancers. The Investigational New Drug (IND) application has been cleared and a Phase 1/2a trial has now started (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT07278479). A first site is open and dosing of the first patient is expected in Q1 2026. The Phase 1/2a study is a multi-center study in the US, with the objectives to assess safety and determine a recommended phase 2 dose for MP0712. The study contains an imaging and dosimetry step with 203Pb-labeled MP0712. The Company expects initial clinical data from the study in 2026.

Molecular Partners presented new data on MP0712 at the Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals (TRP) Summit Europe in November 2025, highlighting first encouraging images of a patient receiving MP0712 carrying the diagnostic isotope 203Pb. The images, obtained through a Named Patient Access Program for compassionate care at NuMeRI in South Africa show targeted delivery of MP0712 into tumors and limited exposure in healthy organs such as kidney and liver, as intended. The NuMeRI team, led by Prof. Mike Sathekge, plans to report the full imaging and dosimetry data of MP0712 at the Theranostics World Congress (TWC) in January 2026.

The Company’s second RDT program MP0726, co-developed with Orano Med, targets mesothelin (MSLN), a tumor target overexpressed across several cancers with high unmet need, such as ovarian cancer. Molecular Partners has developed Radio-DARPins able to selectively bind to membrane-bound MSLN without being impacted by shed MSLN – a mechanism which has hampered the development of other MSLN-targeted therapeutics. The Company presented preclinical data on MP0726 at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI) in June. The Company is planning to progress several Radio-DARPin programs towards first-in-human imaging, including MP0726.

Furthermore, Molecular Partners announced in December 2025 the formation of a scientific advisory board (SAB) to accelerate the development of its targeted radiotherapeutics. The SAB, chaired by globally recognized nuclear medicine expert Prof. Ken Herrmann, will be instrumental in guiding Molecular Partners strategic direction as it transitions and evolves from early clinical validation to full clinical development of its targeted alpha radiotherapies.

Molecular Partners has designed its Radio-DARPins as ideal vectors for precise delivery of potent alpha-emitting isotopes to tumor lesions and have the potential to unlock a broad range of solid tumor targets for radiopharmaceuticals.

MP0317 (tumor-localized CD40 agonist)

An investigator-initiated, proof-of-concept Phase 2 study of MP0317 in combination with standard-of-care for the treatment of patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma is now open with two sites activated (NCT07036380). The first patient was treated in early 2026, additional sites are being activated and patients are in screening. The study is a randomized, multicenter study in France and aims to recruit 75 patients (50 in the experimental arm, 25 in the control arm). The objective of the study is to assess the clinical benefit of MP0317 combined with standard-of-care, which comprises the immunotherapy durvalumab (an anti-PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor) plus gemcitabine-cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

MP0317 is designed to activate immune cells specifically within the tumor microenvironment by anchoring to fibroblast activation protein (FAP), which is expressed in high amounts in the stroma of various solid tumors. The Company completed a Phase 1 dose escalation study of MP0317 in patients with advanced solid tumors with 46 patients treated across 9 dose levels, and has presented comprehensive biomarker analyses from the trial at SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2024 showing tumor-localized CD40 activation and tumor microenvironment remodeling. The Company believes this tumor-localized approach has the potential to deliver greater efficacy with fewer side effects compared to systemic CD40-targeting therapies.

MP0533 (multispecific T cell engager)

MP0533 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/2a clinical trial for relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome/AML (NCT05673057).

Data presented at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) (Free ASH Whitepaper) Annual Meeting in December 2025 showed that densified dosing appears tolerable, and leads to markedly improved serum exposure in cycle 1 and encouraging preliminary antitumor activity, in particular in patients with low bone marrow blast count at baseline. Cohort 10 is currently dosing patients, with an update on the program foreseen in H1 2026.

Molecular Partners plans to support the exploration of MP0533 in combination, both in patients with relapsed/refractory disease as well as in front-line, and has been approached by several consortia expressing interest in conducting such studies. The Company is actively engaging with key opinion leaders and regulators to shape the next phase of development, and anticipates updating the clinical plan for MP0533 in H1 2026.

MP0533 is a novel tetra-specific T cell-engaging DARPin designed for selective and broad killing of AML cells in a mutation-agnostic manner. MP0533’s mode of action enables T cell-mediated killing of AML cells – which commonly co-express at least two of the three targeted atigens (CD33, CD123, CD70) – while preserving a therapeutic window that minimizes damage to healthy cells, which normally express one or none of the targets.

Switch-DARPin (next-generation immune cell engagers)

Molecular Partners designed a logic-gated Switch-DARPin TCE to achieve conditional tumor-localized immune activation targeting MSLN and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), which are highly co-expressed in ovarian cancer and other solid tumors. The Switch-DARPin TCE is designed to unmask the CD3-engaging DARPin ("Switch" on) and to activate T cells only upon binding to both MSLN and EpCAM. This Switch-DARPin is half-life extended through a Fc domain, which broadens the Company’s capabilities in half-life engineering modalities.

Based on the encouraging pre-clinical data presented in 2025 at AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) and SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper), the Company intends to nominate a lead Switch-DARPin candidate for development in H1 2026 and will provide an update on the program at AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper) 2026.
