A clear emerging threat for Rigel Pharmaceuticals is the potential market entry of AstraZeneca/Alexion's drug Ultomiris (ravulizumab) for Warm Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (wAIHA). Rigel's Tavalisse (fostamatinib) was only recently approved for wAIHA in April 2023, making this an important growth area for the company. AstraZeneca/Alexion announced positive Phase 3 results for Ultomiris in wAIHA in late 2023, and an sBLA submission is planned for Q1 2024. If approved, Ultomiris, an established complement inhibitor, would represent a significant, near-term competitive challenge to Tavalisse in a key therapeutic indication.

Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: RIGL) is expected to drive future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years through a combination of its existing commercial products, strategic market expansion, and advancements in its clinical pipeline.

Here are 3-5 expected drivers of future revenue growth:

1. Continued Growth of TAVALISSE: TAVALISSE (fostamatinib), Rigel's first FDA-approved product for chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), is consistently highlighted as a key revenue driver. The company anticipates continued strong new patient demand and expects sales to grow steadily as Rigel expands its commercial footprint and strengthens its marketing infrastructure. TAVALISSE generated $44.7 million in net product sales in Q3 2025, marking a 70% increase from the prior year.
2. Increased Sales and Market Expansion of REZLIDHIA: REZLIDHIA (olutasidenib), approved for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with an IDH1 mutation, is Rigel's second commercial product and is expected to contribute significantly to revenue growth. Rigel is focused on improving demand for REZLIDHIA and has strategic partnerships, such as with Dr. Reddy's for commercialization in various international territories and with Kissei for development and commercialization in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, which include potential milestone payments and royalties. REZLIDHIA net product sales reached $8.3 million in Q3 2025, a 50% increase year-over-year. Additionally, there is potential for REZLIDHIA's expansion into other IDH1-mutant cancers, including glioma, through collaborations.
3. Growth from GAVRETO Sales: Rigel acquired the U.S. commercial rights to GAVRETO (pralsetinib) in 2024, and the drug has shown strong initial sales and is expected to become a more significant revenue contributor over the long term. GAVRETO net product sales were $11.1 million in Q3 2025, increasing 56% compared to the previous year. Rigel's dedicated oncology sales force is expected to accelerate its adoption.
4. Advancement of Clinical Pipeline Assets: Rigel is investing in its internal pipeline, with R289 (an oral dual IRAK1/4 inhibitor) for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) being a key asset. R289 has received FDA Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations, which are expected to accelerate its path to potential approval and contribute to future revenue streams if successful. Rigel anticipates sharing data from the dose escalation portion of its R289 study later in 2025.
