Exelixis, Inc. (EXEL) Latest News
24 Sep
FDA extended the NDA review for Exelixis' zanzalintinib in combination with Roche's Tecentriq for metastatic colorectal cancer from Dec 3, 2026 to Mar 3, 2027 after a major amendment and new safety/efficacy data. STELLAR-303 showed a non-statistically significant overall survival trend in non-liver metastases, despite a prior OS signal in the ITT population. Zanzalintinib is a key near-term catalyst as Exelixis pursues broader combos, including Merck's Keytruda QLEX in STELLAR-316 for resected CRC and the LITESPARK-034 RCC trial. EXEL also operates STELLAR-201 in recurrent meningioma. Cabometyx remains the lead product; label expansions for pNET and epNET occurred in 2025. The delay could slow EXEL's growth beyond Cabometyx, though year-to-date performance reflects investor optimism. Delaying the key near-term catalyst zanzalintinib's NDA decision can materially affect EXEL's growth trajectory and investor sentiment.
21 Sep
FDA extends review of Exelixis's zanzalintinib plus atezolizumab for metastatic colorectal cancer after Exelixis filed a major amendment with updated safety and efficacy data. The extension lengthens the decision timeline but covers only part of what matters today: the ongoing push to diversify beyond cabozantinib. Exelixis notes the delay tests the durability of its strategy while continuing to push a growing late-stage pipeline, including the pivotal STELLAR-303 trial in colorectal cancer as a potential catalyst for approvals and label expansions. Management positions zanzalintinib as a key second pillar to the cabozantinib franchise, amid a competitive field with Roche and Merck. The company, with a market cap around $14.5 billion, faces ongoing pressures from patent cliffs and pipeline uncertainty, but investors can view the regulatory update as a stress test rather than a derailment of its longer-term growth plan. Near-term catalysts are delayed; long-term diversification through zanzalintinib remains a potential driver, balancing impact.
