Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 05 | EGFR exon 20 data | Positive | -4.4% | Phase 1b enozertinib EGFR exon 20 data with strong systemic and CNS activity. |
| Dec 05 | Inducement grants | Neutral | -4.4% | Inducement stock options and RSUs granted to new non-executive employees. |
| Dec 05 | HER2 exon 20 data | Positive | -3.5% | Phase 1b enozertinib data in HER2 exon 20 NSCLC with notable disease control. |
| Dec 04 | EGFR atypical data | Positive | +3.8% | Enozertinib Phase 1b data in EGFR atypical NSCLC showing strong CNS activity. |

Recent enozertinib clinical updates showed mixed price reactions, with two positive moves and two selloffs despite similarly upbeat efficacy and safety data.
Over early December 2025, ORIC issued a series of enozertinib Phase 1b updates at the ESMO Asia Congress 2025, highlighting CNS activity and encouraging ORR across EGFR atypical, EGFR exon 20 and HER2 exon 20 NSCLC populations. Doses around 80 mg QD were repeatedly selected as potential Phase 3 levels. Alongside, the company reported inducement equity grants. Market reactions alternated between gains and pullbacks, indicating that positive clinical signals did not always translate into sustained upside.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights two late-breaking oral presentations of Phase 1b enozertinib data in EGFR atypical and EGFR exon 20 mutant NSCLC at ESMO Asia Congress 2025, plus an investor call on December 6, 2025. Recent history shows mixed price reactions to similarly positive clinical updates, underscoring event-driven volatility. Investors may focus on detailed efficacy and CNS activity metrics once the full data are reviewed, along with ORIC’s cash position and ongoing prioritization around enozertinib from prior regulatory filings.
