South San Francisco, CA -- October 18, 2026 --
Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROP; OTCQX: RHHBY), will present new data, including two late-breaking abstracts, across lung, breast and other cancers at the 2026 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting, held from October 23 to 27 in Madrid.
"Our presentations at ESMO 2026 highlight the depth and impact of Genentech's oncology pipeline, driven by emerging science capable of bringing new treatment benefits across diverse and high-unmet-need cancers," said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., chief medical officer and head of Global Product Development. "From establishing head-to-head superiority with divarasib in KRAS G12C-mutated lung cancer to advancing patient-centered oral SERD therapies like giredestrant and next-generation ADCs such as Tam-Peli, we are committed to delivering medicines that not only extend life, but also seek to improve treatment experience, tolerability and quality of life for people living with cancer."
Divarasib demonstrated superior efficacy and best-in-class potential in KRAS G12C NSCLC
Genentech will share Phase III Krascendo 1 results, which demonstrated divarasib's best-in-class efficacy, advancing the standard of care in previously treated KRAS G12C-mutated lung cancer.
Giredestrant data support its potential to become the new standard of care in early-stage and advanced breast cancer
Genentech will present new data highlighting the potential role of giredestrant, an investigational, oral, potent next-generation selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) and full antagonist, in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer, a subtype in which more than 90% of cases are diagnosed at an early stage (I-III). Key presentations from early-stage to advanced disease include:
Data demonstrate the potential of a next generation B7-H3 targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Tam-Peli (tambotatug pelitecan )
New data will also be presented for Tam-Peli, an investigational next-generation B7-H3-targeted ADC designed to deliver high-potency anti-tumor activity while limiting off-target toxicity. Tam-Peli is currently being investigated across multiple solid tumor indications:
