A question regarding ALKOVE-1. Neladalkib can only be interesting in 1L, since compound mutations are not common mechanisms of resistance after Lorlatinib? Are we going to wait for how long until practice changes? ALK+ NSCLC just became early-stage luminal breast cancer? #ASCO26

ALKOVE-1 Overview

ALKOVE-1 (NCT05384626) is Nuvalent's pivotal Phase 1/2 trial of neladalkib (NVL-655), a brain-penetrant, ALK-selective, TRK-sparing fourth-generation ALK TKI engineered to (1) overcome the broad spectrum of secondary resistance mutations — particularly the recalcitrant ALK G1202R compound mutations that emerge on earlier-generation TKIs — and (2) avoid the off-target CNS adverse events linked to TRK inhibition (cognitive/mood effects, weight gain) that have shaped the tolerability profile of lorlatinib. The Phase 2 expansion enrolled patients with advanced ALK+ NSCLC after at least one prior ALK TKI. Updated data presented at ASCO 2026 cover 253 evaluable TKI-pretreated patients; an NDA has been submitted and FDA Priority Review granted with a PDUFA target action date of November 27, 2026.

Population

Advanced ALK-positive NSCLC after at least one prior ALK TKI (n=253 evaluable TKI-pretreated). Both lorlatinib-naive and lorlatinib-pretreated subsets reported, plus an ALK G1202R-mutant analysis.

Intervention

Neladalkib (NVL-655) monotherapy — oral, once daily at the recommended Phase 2 dose.

Primary Endpoint

Objective response rate per blinded independent central review (RECIST 1.1).

Key Secondary

Duration of response, intracranial response, PFS, safety/tolerability, and biomarker correlates of response/resistance.

Reported Results

Objective Response (Primary Endpoint)

BICR-assessed ORR was 31% (95% CI, 26–37) in the overall 253-patient TKI-pretreated population. Activity was substantially higher in subsets defined by prior therapy and resistance biology: ORR 46% in lorlatinib-naive patients, ORR 68% in ALK G1202R-mutant disease after prior TKI ± chemotherapy, and ORR 83% in G1202R-mutant, lorlatinib-naive disease.

TKI-pretreated ORR 31% · lorla-naive 46% · G1202R 68% / 83%Source: ASCO 2026 (Nuvalent) / OncLive

Duration of Response

Responses were durable: 12-month DOR rate 64% and 18-month DOR rate 53%. KOLs have flagged the durability tail as the most clinically meaningful aspect of the dataset given that this is a heavily pretreated, resistance-mutation-enriched population.

12-mo DOR 64% · 18-mo DOR 53%Source: ASCO 2026 (Nuvalent)

Safety & Tolerability (RP2D)

At the recommended Phase 2 dose, the most common TEAEs were ALT/AST increases, constipation, dysgeusia, edema, cough, and nausea. Dose reductions occurred in 17% and treatment discontinuations in 5% of patients. By design, neladalkib's ALK-selective, TRK-sparing profile largely avoids the cognitive/mood effects and weight gain that complicate lorlatinib.

Dose reductions 17% · Discontinuations 5%Source: ASCO 2026 (Nuvalent)

FDA & Approval Status

STATUSNDA submitted · FDA Priority Review · PDUFA Nov 27, 2026 (investigational)

Nuvalent submitted an NDA for neladalkib in advanced ALK-positive NSCLC after at least one prior ALK TKI, and the FDA granted Priority Review with a PDUFA target action date of November 27, 2026. The drug remains investigational pending FDA action. A separate Phase 3 trial (ALKAZAR) is evaluating neladalkib vs alectinib in the 1L, TKI-naive setting.
