PMV Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (PMVP)·Q3 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- EPS was in line with consensus: reported $(0.40) vs Wall Street consensus of $(0.40); revenue was not reported and consensus expected $0.00.* *
- Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $129.3M, extending expected cash runway to end of Q1 2027, from “end of 2026” earlier. This reflects spend pacing and strong interest income.
- Clinical efficacy strengthened: overall ORR rose to 34% (from 33%) with median DOR 7.6 months; ovarian ORR reached 46% with 8.0-month median DOR, reinforcing the registrational strategy.
- Regulatory timeline was pushed: NDA for platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer now planned for Q1 2027 (prior guide: end of 2026), and the FDA requested enrolling 20–25 additional ovarian patients by end of Q1 2026 — a key stock catalyst path.
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Strengthening efficacy signals: 34% overall ORR across 103 evaluable patients; ovarian ORR at 46% with durable responses (median 8.0 months), with confirmed responses across eight tumor types.
- Clear strategic momentum: “We are excited by the data emerging... and look forward to submitting an NDA in the first quarter of 2027 for platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer.” — David Mack, CEO.
- Safety profile supports chronic use: Grade 3 TRAEs were ≤6% and manageable; administration with food improved GI tolerability vs Phase 1.
What Went Wrong
- Loss widened year-over-year: Q3 net loss was $21.1M vs $19.2M in Q3 2024, driven by higher R&D spend advancing rezatapopt.
- Regulatory milestone slips: NDA timing moved from end of 2026 to Q1 2027; FDA ask to enroll 20–25 additional ovarian patients extends timelines.
- Continued cash burn: Net cash used in operations was $56.4M for nine months vs $34.6M in prior-year period; G&A down, but R&D up with CRO costs.

Management Commentary
- “I am incredibly proud of our team… We are excited by the data emerging from this study and look forward to submitting an NDA in the first quarter of 2027 for platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian cancer.” — David Mack, Ph.D., President & CEO.
- “Updated results… continue to enhance our understanding… improvements in ORR and median duration of response… further support the potential of rezatapopt…” — Deepika Jalota, Pharm.D., Chief Development Officer.
- “The rezatapopt data… demonstrate very encouraging clinical activity… providing a potential shift in the current treatment paradigm.” — Alison M. Schram, M.D., MSKCC.
Q&A Highlights
- KRAS co-mutation impact: Phase 1 showed reduced durability in KRAS-mutated patients vs KRAS WT, hypothesized immunosuppressive environment; supports a potential future pan-RAS combination.
- Ovarian cohort bar and endpoints: Expectation that single-arm ORR and DOR (median ≥6 months) paired with tolerable safety can be sufficient for FDA approval; study designed to target ~30% ORR overall.
- Capital planning: Management indicated multiple mechanisms under evaluation to bridge to NDA submission, expecting data to facilitate discussions.
Estimates Context
- Q3 EPS was in line with consensus: actual $(0.40) vs consensus $(0.40); revenue consensus was $0.00 as PMVP remains pre-revenue.* *
- With R&D and CRO costs driving opex, consensus models should refine cash runway assumptions (+1 quarter) and incorporate the FDA-requested incremental ovarian enrollment, pushing NDA to Q1 2027 and extending trial costs.

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Clinical momentum: Efficacy improved quarter-over-quarter (ORR and DOR), particularly in ovarian, supporting the registrational thesis and potential label durability requirements.
- Timeline shift is central: NDA moved to Q1 2027 with an FDA-requested ovarian enrollment boost; models must reflect extended timelines and costs.
- Cash runway extended: $129.3M in liquidity now expected to fund operations through end of Q1 2027 — reduces near-term financing risk vs prior guidance.
- Safety/tolerability strengthens commercial narrative: manageable Grade 3 TRAEs and improved GI tolerability with food are positive for adherence and chronic use.
- EPS tracked consensus; focus is on clinical/regulatory catalysts rather than near-term P&L — watch upcoming enrollment updates and further data confirmations.
- Strategic optionality: KRAS WT focus with exploratory pan-RAS combination work could broaden applicability; monitoring preclinical/clinical combo updates is warranted.
- Near-term catalysts: Additional confirmed responses, ovarian cohort enrollment progress, companion diagnostics/regulatory engagement updates, and potential investor events can move the stock narrative.
