Here are a few analogies for Nuvation Bio (NUVB):

• Like a startup version of Bristol Myers Squibb's oncology drug development arm.
• An independent biotech company focused on discovering and developing novel cancer therapies, similar to an early-stage Amgen solely dedicated to oncology.

• Taletrectinib: A novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor for the treatment of ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer, currently in a registrational Phase 2 clinical trial.
• NUV-868: A potentially best-in-class PARP1-selective inhibitor in Phase 1 development for advanced solid tumors.

Nuvation Bio (NUVB) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of oncology therapeutics.

As a clinical-stage company, Nuvation Bio has not yet commercialized any products. According to their latest available SEC filings (e.g., the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K), Nuvation Bio has **not generated any revenue from the sale of products or from collaboration agreements to date.**

Therefore, Nuvation Bio currently does not have major customers in the traditional sense, as they are still in the research and development phase and have not yet brought any products to market or entered into revenue-generating commercial partnerships.

Taletrectinib (IBTROZI™) for ROS1-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

• The estimated addressable market for IBTROZI™ in the United States is approximately $1 billion in the first year of commercial rollout, potentially growing to $3.8 billion by year four. This projection is based on an estimated 3,000 new ROS1-positive NSCLC patients annually in the U.S. and an annual treatment cost of around $350,000 per patient, factoring in the "stacking" of surviving patients.

• Nuvation Bio believes the market potential for ROS1-positive lung cancer in the U.S. is substantially larger than the current annual net sales of first-generation ROS1 TKIs, which are under $150 million and are considered underutilized.

• Globally, ROS1-positive disease is estimated to affect approximately 2% of the over one million people diagnosed with NSCLC each year.

Nuvation Bio (NUVB) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through the following key initiatives:

1. Continued Growth and Market Penetration of IBTROZI (taletrectinib) in ROS1-positive NSCLC in the U.S.: Following its FDA approval in June 2025, IBTROZI, a next-generation ROS1 inhibitor for advanced non-small cell lung cancer, has demonstrated strong early commercial success. The company reported significant net product revenue from IBTROZI in Q2 and Q3 2025, surpassing analyst expectations. Nuvation Bio has observed robust patient uptake, with 204 new patients starting treatment in Q3 2025, and broad payer coverage expanding to over 80% of covered lives. The company anticipates continuous patient growth for IBTROZI and targets a potential annualized net revenue of $55 million based on current patient starts. Updated clinical data showing unprecedented durability and a median duration of response of 50 months for TKI-naïve patients are expected to support a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for a label update, further solidifying its market position.
2. International Commercial Expansion of IBTROZI: Nuvation Bio is actively pursuing and executing global commercialization strategies for IBTROZI. Regulatory approval in Japan was secured in September 2025 through a partnership with Nippon Kayaku, with a $25 million milestone payment expected upon the establishment of the reimbursement price by year-end 2025. Additionally, taletrectinib is anticipated to be listed on China's National Reimbursement Drug List in 2026. The company is also in late-stage discussions with potential commercialization partners in Europe and other ex-U.S. territories to further expand IBTROZI's reach and revenue streams.
3. Advancement and Potential Commercialization of Pipeline Assets: Beyond IBTROZI, Nuvation Bio's diversified oncology pipeline represents a significant driver of future revenue growth. Key among these is safusidenib, a brain-penetrant IDH1 inhibitor, which has advanced into a global, randomized Phase 3 trial (G203) for the maintenance treatment of high-grade IDH1-mutant astrocytoma. Successful clinical development and eventual regulatory approval of safusidenib could open up new revenue streams in a distinct oncology indication. The pipeline also includes NUV-1511, an innovative drug-drug conjugate (DDC) in a Phase 1/2 study, and NUV-868, a BD2-selective BET inhibitor. Continued progress and strategic development of these assets will bolster the company's long-term revenue potential and investor confidence.
