Key Terms

phase 1b, irak1/4, myelodysplastic syndrome (mds), overall response rate (orr), +4 more

8 terms

phase 1b medical

"In the dose escalation phase of the Phase 1b study of R289 in patients"

"Phase 1b" is an early stage in testing a new medical treatment or vaccine, where it is given to a small group of people to evaluate its safety and determine the right dose. For investors, this phase signals progress in development, indicating the treatment is advancing through initial safety checks, which can influence expectations for future success and potential market impact.

irak1/4 medical

"a potent and selective dual inhibitor of interleukin receptor-associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1/4)"

IRAK1/4 refers to two enzymes, IRAK1 and IRAK4, that act like on/off switches in immune-system signaling; drugs described as IRAK1/4 inhibitors block those switches to dial down inflammation or certain cancer-related signals. Investors should care because therapies that target these enzymes can address inflammatory diseases and some cancers, which can create new drug opportunities or change a company’s value, but clinical progress and safety are the key risks that determine commercial potential.

myelodysplastic syndrome (mds) medical

"patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)"

A group of disorders in which the bone marrow — the body’s blood-cell factory — produces too few or defective blood cells, often causing fatigue, infections, or bleeding and sometimes progressing to acute leukemia. It matters to investors because the size of the patient population, regulatory approvals, clinical trial results and new therapies can drive revenue and stock value for drugmakers and diagnostic companies; think of a breakthrough treatment as fixing a broken factory and unlocking new market demand.

overall response rate (orr) medical

"showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 67% (26/39)"

Overall response rate (ORR) is the percentage of trial participants whose disease measurably improves—typically tumor shrinkage or disappearance—according to predefined medical criteria. Investors watch ORR because it provides an early, concrete signal of a therapy’s effectiveness and commercial potential, similar to seeing what share of products in a test batch actually work before deciding to back wider production.

non-small cell lung cancer (nsclc) medical

"pralsetinib for the treatment of metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)"

A common group of lung cancers that arise from the lungs’ cell lining and grow in ways different from the faster-spreading “small cell” form; think of it as several related varieties of the same illness rather than one single disease. It matters to investors because diagnosis rates, new drugs, diagnostic tests, and clinical trial results for these cancers can drive large, sustained revenue opportunities and regulatory decisions that materially affect healthcare and biotech company valuations.

overall survival (os) medical

"In the trial, median overall survival (OS) was 44.3 months"

Overall survival (OS) is the length of time from the start of a treatment or clinical study until death from any cause, essentially measuring how long patients live after a therapy begins. Investors watch OS because it is the most direct evidence a treatment extends life; stronger OS results can drive regulatory approvals, wider use and higher revenue expectations, much like sales figures proving a product actually works.

prior approval supplemental new drug application regulatory

"FDA notified Rigel of the approval of a Prior Approval supplemental New Drug Application"

A prior approval supplemental new drug application is a formal request a drug maker files with regulators to change an already approved medicine when the change cannot be made until the agency signs off. Think of it like asking a landlord for written permission before making a major renovation: sales, manufacturing, labeling, or safety changes can’t proceed without that approval. Investors care because the decision affects a drug’s sales timing, costs and regulatory risk, and therefore can materially influence a company’s revenue and valuation.

boxed warning regulatory

"to add a boxed warning regarding serious infections, including opportunistic infections"

A boxed warning is the strongest safety alert a drug regulator places on a medication’s official label to highlight life‑threatening or very serious risks, similar to a bold red flag attached to a product. For investors, it matters because this warning can reduce sales, increase regulatory scrutiny, raise liability and monitoring costs, and change market perception of the drug’s future revenue and risk profile.

• For the full year, Rigel expects to report total revenue of $294.3 million, including net product sales of $232.0 million and contract revenues of $62.3 million, compared to total revenue of $179.3 million in 2024, which included net product sales of $144.9 million and contract revenues of $34.4 million. Expected 2025 contract revenues and total revenue include $40.0 million in non-cash revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2025 resulting from the release of the remaining cost share liability related to the agreement with Lilly for the development and commercialization of ocadusertib.
• Rigel expects to report cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $154.6 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $77.3 million as of December 31, 2024.

The above information is preliminary, has not been audited, and is subject to change upon the audit of Rigel's financial statements for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. Rigel expects to provide complete fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results in March 2026.

Commercial

• Rigel's commercial portfolio is expected to report preliminary full-year net product sales of $232.0 million, growth of 60% compared to 2024.

Clinical Development and Regulatory

• Rigel continues to advance its Phase 1b clinical study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of R289¹, a potent and selective dual inhibitor of interleukin receptor-associated kinases 1 and 4 (IRAK1/4) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) lower-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In October 2025, Rigel announced enrollment of the first patient in the dose expansion phase of the study, where up to 40 patients will be randomized to receive either 500 mg once daily (QD) or twice daily (BID) to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose for future clinical trials.
• Rigel is on track to complete enrollment of the dose expansion phase of the Phase 1b study and select the recommended Phase 2 dose for future clinical studies in the second half of 2026. The company anticipates sharing preliminary data from the dose expansion phase of the study by the end of 2026.
• Rigel announced updated data from the dose escalation phase of the ongoing Phase 1b clinical study of R289 at the 2025 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in December, indicating that R289 continued to be generally well tolerated in a heavily pretreated R/R lower-risk MDS patient population, the majority of whom were high transfusion burden (HTB) at baseline. Furthermore, red blood cell transfusion independence (RBC-TI ≥8 weeks) was achieved by 33% (6/18) of evaluable transfusion dependent patients receiving R289 doses of at least 500 mg QD and higher.
• Also at the ASH Annual Meeting, four posters were presented on olutasidenib, which included data that add to the growing body of evidence supporting the benefits of its use in patients with R/R mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (mIDH1) acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
• In October 2025, the first patient was enrolled in the CONNECT Phase 2 TarGeT-D study evaluating olutasidenib in combination with temozolomide, followed by olutasidenib monotherapy as a maintenance regimen for newly-diagnosed adolescent and young adult patients with a high-grade glioma harboring an IDH1 mutation (NCT06161974).
• Rigel presented sub-analysis data from the ARROW study evaluating pralsetinib for the treatment of metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the 2025 North America Conference on Lung Cancer (NACLC) in December. The two poster presentations included efficacy and safety data for patients previously treated with immunotherapy and for patients from the United States. In the trial, median overall survival (OS) was 44.3 months for the overall patient population. Longer median OS was seen in patients treated in the United States (62.4 months).
• Rigel presented the first data release for pralsetinib from the TAPISTRY study (NCT04589845) in a poster presentation at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology – Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO-GI) in January. The analysis reported results from the Phase 2 global, open-label, multicohort study, in which the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib was evaluated in a cohort of patients with RET fusion-positive solid tumors, including pancreatic, colorectal, and hepatobiliary cancers. Pralsetinib demonstrated robust and durable activity against RET fusion-positive solid tumors, including gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, and in the efficacy evaluable population showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 67% (26/39). These data validate RET fusions as a tissue-agnostic target with sensitivity to RET inhibition, suggesting the potential therapeutic utility of pralsetinib in these patients.
• On December 22, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified Rigel of the approval of a Prior Approval supplemental New Drug Application, which updated the U.S. Prescribing Information to add a boxed warning regarding serious infections, including opportunistic infections. Rigel previously communicated this risk information to healthcare providers via a Dear Healthcare Provider letter in October 2024. The FDA also notified Rigel that it has met its postmarketing commitment for GAVRETO from its September 2020 accelerated approval to submit the final report for the AcceleRET-Lung study.

Publication

• A paper titled "Olutasidenib for Mutated IDH1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia: Final Five-Year Results from the Phase 2 Pivotal Cohort" was published in November 2025 by Jorge E. Cortes, M.D., Phase 2 trial investigator and Director, Georgia Cancer Center, Cecil F. Whitaker Jr., GRA Eminent Scholar Chair in Cancer, in the Journal of Hematology & Oncology. The publication reports the final 5-year data from the pivotal cohort of the registrational trial evaluating olutasidenib for the treatment of patients with R/R mIDH1 AML, which includes an additional two years of efficacy and safety data. These 5-year data further support the durable responses and manageable safety profile observed with olutasidenib in patients with R/R mIDH1 AML, including those previously treated with venetoclax-based regimens.

2026 Outlook

Rigel anticipates 2026 total revenue of approximately $275 to $290 million, including:

• Net product sales of approximately $255 to $265 million.
• Contract revenues of approximately $20 to $25 million.

The company anticipates it will report positive net income for the full year 2026, while funding existing and new clinical development programs.

Upcoming Investor Event

About ITP
In patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), the immune system attacks and destroys the body's own blood platelets, which play an active role in blood clotting and healing. Common symptoms of ITP are excessive bruising and bleeding. Patients suffering with chronic ITP may live with an increased risk of severe bleeding events that can result in serious medical complications or even death. Current therapies for ITP include steroids, blood platelet production boosters (TPO-RAs), and splenectomy. However, not all patients respond to existing therapies. As a result, there remains a significant medical need for additional treatment options for patients with ITP.

About NSCLC
It is estimated that over 226,000 adults in the U.S. will be diagnosed with lung cancer in 2025. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) being the most common type accounting for 85-90% of all lung cancer diagnoses.² RET fusions are implicated in approximately 1-2% of patients with NSCLC.³

About AML
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rapidly progressing cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects myeloid cells, which normally develop into various types of mature blood cells. AML occurs primarily in adults and accounts for about 1 percent of all adult cancers. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,010 new cases in the United States, most in adults, in 2025.⁴

Relapsed AML affects about half of all patients who, following treatment and remission, experience a return of leukemia cells in the bone marrow.^5,6 Refractory AML, which affects between 10 and 40 percent of newly diagnosed patients, occurs when a patient fails to achieve remission even after intensive treatment.⁷ Quality of life declines for patients with each successive line of treatment for AML, and well-tolerated treatments in relapsed or refractory disease remain an unmet need.

About TAVALISSE^®
TAVALISSE (fostamatinib disodium hexahydrate) tablets is indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in adult patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) who have had an insufficient response to a previous treatment.
