Rigel's Pralsetinib Shows Broad RET Fusion Activity Across Tumors at ESMO
Oct 19, 2026, 6:00 PM EDT1 sourcesAI-analyzed
Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
Strong ORR signals across multiple RET-fusion tumor types and first-line NSCLC suggest meaningful clinical and commercial upside, especially if sustained; however, small cohorts and reliance on pooled analyses temper expectations.
AI summary
What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting
Rigel announced pooled ARROW/TAPISTRY data for pralsetinib (GAVRETO) with a 53% ORR across RET fusion solid tumors and strong thyroid/pancreatic signals. First-line NSCLC results (75% ORR) bolster potential tumor-agnostic and front-line use. Data to be presented at ESMO 2026 could impact valuation if safety and durability hold.
ORR 53% across 49 RET-fusion solid tumors; DOR 12.2 months.
Pancreatic subset ORR 88% (7/8) in previously treated patients.
Thyroid cancer ORR 81.3% in TAPISTRY.
NSCLC ARROW first-line ORR 75% vs 26% after.
