Genentech Announces Phase III Vamikibart Trial Results

ROG

New Projects/Investments

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, announced positive results from two Phase III studies (MEERKAT and SANDCAT) for its investigational drug vamikibart in uveitic macular edema (UME).
Vamikibart, a potential first-in-class non-steroid targeted therapy, demonstrated rapid improvements in vision and reductions in macular thickness. The MEERKAT study achieved statistically significant superiority over sham for the primary endpoint of vision improvement.
The drug was generally well tolerated, with a low incidence of treatment-related ocular adverse events, addressing a significant unmet need given the side effects of current steroid treatments for UME.
Genentech plans to discuss these data with health authorities globally for potential regulatory approval.

Roche's Elecsys pTau181 Test Receives FDA Clearance

ROG

Product Launch

New Projects/Investments

Roche (ROG) announced on October 13, 2025, that its Elecsys pTau181 test received FDA clearance, making it the only blood-based biomarker test indicated as an aid in the initial assessment for Alzheimer's disease in primary care.
The test is intended for patients aged 55 and older presenting with cognitive decline, and its performance demonstrated a 97.9% negative predictive value (NPV) for ruling out Alzheimer's pathology in early-stage, low-prevalence populations.
This clearance is expected to broaden patient access to minimally invasive Alzheimer's testing, integrate primary care into the diagnostic pathway, and potentially reduce the use of more invasive and costly procedures.
The Elecsys pTau181 test was developed in collaboration with Eli Lilly and Company and also recently received CE Mark certification in Europe.

Roche's Giredestrant Plus Everolimus Shows Positive Phase 3 Trial Results

ROG

Product Launch

New Projects/Investments

Roche's investigational drug combination of giredestrant plus everolimus demonstrated a significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) for patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who had previously been treated with CDK4/6 inhibitors.
The evERA Breast Cancer study met its co-primary endpoints, making it the first positive head-to-head trial of an all-oral selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD) regimen versus standard endocrine therapy.
While overall survival data are still immature, a positive trend favoring the giredestrant arm was observed, and the safety profiles were consistent with known effects without new concerns.
Following the announcement of these positive late-stage clinical trial results, Roche's stock price increased by 1.5% on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
