Business Segment Analysis

ARRIVENT BIOPHARMA, INC. operates as a single reportable segment: life science. The Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision maker, assesses performance based on net loss.

Firmonertinib

Financial Performance:

  • R&D Expenses: $67.6 million in 2025 (+32.9% YoY from $50.9 million in 2024).
  • Key Growth Drivers: Firmonertinib is a novel, EGFR mutant-selective TKI being developed for NSCLC patients with a broader set of EGFR mutations, including uncommon exon 20 insertion and PACC mutations. It has demonstrated brain penetrance in preclinical and clinical studies. The company believes it has the potential to become a chemotherapy-free oral regimen for exon 20 insertion mutations and a leading treatment option for PACC mutations.

Product Portfolio:

  • Firmonertinib: An investigational, novel, EGFR mutant-selective TKI. It is currently approved and commercially distributed by Allist in China as a first-line therapy for classical EGFRm NSCLC, for pre-treated patients with T790M mutations, and more recently for patients who have failed first-line therapy in Exon20 insertion mutations.

Market Dynamics: Lung cancer is a significant global health burden, with NSCLC accounting for approximately 85% of cases. EGFR mutations are prevalent in NSCLC, with uncommon mutations (exon 20 insertion and PACC mutations) accounting for approximately 22% of EGFRm NSCLC patients and associated with lower life expectancy. Existing third-generation EGFR TKIs (e.g., osimertinib from AstraZeneca plc) are minimally active or not approved for these uncommon mutations. Current first-line standard of care for exon 20 insertion mutations involves platinum-based chemotherapy, with or without amivantamab (Johnson & Johnson), which has limitations such as lack of brain penetrance and intravenous administration with associated toxicities. For PACC mutations, treatment guidelines are not established, often leading to chemotherapy with limited efficacy.

Sub-segment Breakdown:

  • FURVENT (Phase 3, Exon 20 Insertion): $48.7 million R&D expense in 2025 (+42.8% YoY). This is a global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial with 398 patients, evaluating firmonertinib (160 mg or 240 mg once-daily) against platinum-based chemotherapy with pemetrexed. The primary endpoint is PFS, with topline data expected in mid-2026.
  • FURTHER (Phase 1b, PACC Mutations): $9.8 million R&D expense in 2025 (-19.9% YoY). This global Phase 1b dose escalation and expansion trial includes a cohort of 60 TKI-treatment-naïve PACC EGFRm NSCLC patients. Final data (September 2025) for the 240 mg first-line cohort showed a 68.2% cORR, 16.0 months mPFS, and 14.6 months median DOR. Confirmed CNS responses were also observed.
  • FAVOUR (Phase 1b, Exon 20 Insertion): $0.4 million R&D expense in 2025 (+46.0% YoY). This ongoing 90-patient Phase 1b trial, conducted by Allist in China, showed a 79% cORR and 15.2 months median DOR in treatment-naïve patients (240 mg once-daily).
  • ALPACCA (Phase 3, PACC Mutations): The first patient was dosed in December 2025 in this global, pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, which plans to enroll 480 patients. It compares firmonertinib (240 mg once-daily) to investigator’s choice of osimertinib or afatinib, with co-primary endpoints of ORR and PFS. The study design allows for potential accelerated approval based on ORR.
  • Planned Adjuvant Study: The company intends to participate in or conduct a global Phase 3 clinical trial in 2026 to investigate firmonertinib as adjuvant therapy for Stage IIB to IIIB EGFRm NSCLC patients with uncommon mutations (including exon 20 insertion and PACC) after surgical resection.

Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs)

Financial Performance:

  • R&D Expenses (Early-stage programs, includes ADCs): $55.5 million in 2025 (+407.0% YoY from $10.9 million in 2024), largely due to a $40.0 million upfront payment to Lepu Biopharma.
  • Key Growth Drivers: Advancing next-generation ADCs to improve activity and safety over conventional single-target bivalent ADCs by targeting chemotherapy more directly to tumor cells.

Product Portfolio:

  • ARR-217 (MRG007): A CD-H17-targeting ADC for gastrointestinal cancers, currently in Phase 1 clinical development (initial study in China). Licensed from Lepu Biopharma for ex-Greater China rights.
  • ARR-002: A preclinical candidate identified through the Aarvik collaboration, with IND-enabling activities initiated. This ADC leverages Aarvik's proprietary multi-target, multivalent, site-specific conjugation antibody platform.
  • ARR-421 program: An early-stage program resulting from a collaboration with Alphamab, leveraging their proprietary linker-payload platform and glycan-conjugation technology.

Market Dynamics: ADCs are a promising modality for cancer treatment, but current ADCs face limitations due to dose-limiting toxicities and heterogeneous target expression within tumors.
