Pfizer Inc.

Significant presentations will include the Phase 3 BREAKWATER study on BRAFTOVI® (encorafenib) combined with cetuximab and mFOLFOX6 in BRAF V600E-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. This study will showcase detailed analyses of overall survival and progression-free survival, providing important insights following its FDA accelerated approval in late 2024.

In breast cancer, the Phase 3 VERITAC-2 study will present data on vepdegestrant, a PROTAC ER degrader, in ER+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This study aims to support the continued development of vepdegestrant in collaboration with Arvinas.

Pfizer will also showcase five-year survival data from the Phase 3 ARCHES study of XTANDI® (enzalutamide) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Additionally, the MagnetisMM-6 study will present initial results for ELREXFIO® (elranatamab) in combination with daratumumab and lenalidomide for patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma.

Furthermore, Pfizer continues to explore novel vedotin antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors, with initial Phase 1 data being presented for new ADCs in thoracic cancers.

This year, Pfizer is advancing up to nine new pivotal Phase 3 trials, with a strategic goal of delivering eight breakthrough cancer medicines by 2030. The company's presentations at ASCO 2025 underline its commitment to enhancing cancer care through innovative therapies and collaborative efforts.
