Question
Kevin DeGeeter of Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. inquired about the strategic positioning of OptuneLua as 'post-platinum' and its potential influence on NCCN guidelines and payer feedback. He also asked about the expected timeline for securing broad commercial coverage in the U.S.
Answer
Frank Leonard, EVP & President - Novocure Oncology, stated they don't see a direct link between their marketing message and influencing NCCN's guideline structure, but they are publishing real-world evidence to shape physician perception. CEO Ashley Cordova noted that reimbursement is not a binary switch, with early successes building through 2025 and more material top-line growth from it expected in 2026.
