About Nuvectis Pharma, Inc.
About Nuvectis Pharma, Inc.
Nuvectis Pharma had an accumulated deficit of $99.7 million as of December 31, 2025 and has generated no product revenue since its 2020 founding, while advancing NXP900, an oral SRC and YES1 kinase inhibitor, into Phase 1b expansion in August 2025 after completing Phase 1a dose-escalation testing in patients with advanced solid tumors. The company discontinued clinical development of its second program, NXP800, in July 2025 following completion of a Phase 1b study in platinum-resistant ARID1a-mutated ovarian carcinoma.
Nuvectis licensed worldwide rights to NXP900 from the University of Edinburgh in August 2021, agreeing to pay up to $49.5 million in pre-approval milestones, up to $279.5 million in regulatory and commercial sales milestones, and tiered royalties from mid-single digits to 8% on net sales. NXP900 inhibits both the catalytic and scaffolding functions of the SRC and YES1 kinases by locking SRC in its inactive conformation, a mechanism the company believes differentiates it from approved multi-kinase inhibitors dasatinib and bosutinib, which have shown only minor clinical activity in solid tumors. Nuvectis owns no manufacturing facilities and relies on a single, sole-source manufacturer for NXP900 drug substance and another single, sole-source manufacturer for finished drug product.
Show full overview
With NXP800 discontinued, Nuvectis's near-term prospects rest entirely on a single clinical asset, NXP900, whose Phase 1b expansion is evaluating the drug both as monotherapy and in combination with EGFR and ALK inhibitors; a negative readout or delay in this single program would leave the company with no other candidate in active development. The company will require substantial additional funding to advance NXP900 through registration-enabling trials, and if Nuvectis cannot raise capital on acceptable terms, it says it could be compelled to delay, reduce or eliminate its development programs.
