Nuvalent, Inc. reported a net loss of $425.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $260.8 million for the previous year. The increased loss was primarily driven by higher research and development expenses, which totaled $307.0 million in 2025, up from $217.8 million in 2024. General and administrative expenses also increased significantly, reaching $107.3 million compared to $62.6 million in the prior year. These expenses were partially offset by interest income of $44.7 million.

The rise in research and development costs was largely attributed to the progression of neladalkib and NVL-330 clinical trials. Neladalkib-related expenses increased by $37.7 million due to the ongoing Phase 2 ALKOVE-1 trial and the initiation of the Phase 3 ALKAZAR trial. NVL-330 expenses rose by $13.5 million due to the ongoing HEROEX-1 Phase 1 trial. Personnel-related expenses, including stock-based compensation, also contributed to the increase in research and development costs. General and administrative expenses increased due to higher headcount and commercial preparation activities.

Key operational developments for Nuvalent in 2025 included the FDA's acceptance for filing of the New Drug Application (NDA) for zidesamtinib, with a PDUFA target action date of September 18, 2026. The company also initiated the ALKAZAR Phase 3 clinical trial for neladalkib and announced positive topline data for neladalkib in TKI pre-treated patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC from the ALKOVE-1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. As of August 29, 2025, 781 patients with ALK-positive solid tumors had received neladalkib at any starting dose across the Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions of the ALKOVE-1 clinical trial.

Looking ahead, Nuvalent plans to submit data to the FDA for potential label expansion of zidesamtinib in TKI-naïve patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC in the second half of 2026. The company also intends to submit an NDA for neladalkib in TKI pre-treated patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC in the first half of 2026. These submissions are part of Nuvalent's "OnTarget 2026" operating plan, which aims to bring new medicines to patients with cancer. As of December 31, 2025, Nuvalent had 228 full-time employees, with 144 engaged in research and development. The company believes its existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will be sufficient to fund operations into 2029.
