Company

Company overview

Nuvectis Pharma develops drugs for cancer patients with specific genetic characteristics. Its main candidate, NXP900, is in a Phase 1b trial testing it both alone in selected tumor types and alongside other targeted cancer drugs. The company holds a worldwide exclusive license from the University of Edinburgh to develop and commercialize NXP900, with milestone payments and royalties owed under the agreement. It has stopped clinical development of its other candidate, NXP800.

Nuvectis has no approved products and has generated no revenue. Share offerings have supplied cash for development, and it needs additional funding to continue its work. Future drug-sales revenue depends first on trials demonstrating safety and effectiveness and on regulatory approval: it cannot market a drug without the required approval in each country. If a drug reaches market, government and private insurers’ coverage and reimbursement will help determine its commercial prospects.

The business therefore depends heavily on NXP900’s progress. Outside contractors conduct trials and supply the drug; Nuvectis has no manufacturing facilities. It relies on one manufacturer for NXP900’s active drug substance and a separate sole manufacturer for the finished drug, making continued access to both important to development.

Nuvectis depends chiefly on NXP900’s clinical results and access to funding, with its core drug rights licensed from the University of Edinburgh.

  • AstraZeneca’s lung-cancer business matters to Nuvectis because it sells Tagrisso, which blocks EGFR, while Nuvectis is developing NXP900 combinations with EGFR inhibitors. Tagrisso is the product to watch for developments in this treatment approach.

  • Genprex is pursuing a treatment approach that overlaps with Nuvectis’s work on NXP900 combinations with EGFR inhibitors. Its REQORSA program combines a gene therapy with osimertinib for EGFR-mutated lung cancer, making that combination the relevant development to watch.
