FORT LEE, N.J., Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuvectis Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: NVCT) ("Nuvectis" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of innovative precision medicines for the treatment of serious conditions of unmet medical need in oncology, today reported its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and provided an update on recent business progress.

Ron Bentsur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvectis, commented, “2025 was an eventful year for Nuvectis, with significant progress made in the NXP900 development program, laying the groundwork for multiple potential data readouts in 2026. Our Phase 1b monotherapy study evaluating NXP900’s clinical potential in several molecularly and histologically-defined target tumors, and the combination study of NXP900 with osimertinib in patients with EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) are enrolling patients. In addition, a combination with lorlatinib in ALK-positive NSCLC, is pending commencement. With the potential embedded in the NXP900 Phase 1b program, we expect 2026 to be an exciting year for Nuvectis.”

Mr. Bentsur concluded, “We remain focused on operational execution and financial responsibility, and believe that our current cash position can take us through multiple potential NXP900 Phase 1b milestones and well into the second half of 2027.”
