Celcuity Seeks FDA Nod for REVTORPYK in PIK3CA-Mutant Breast Cancer
Event summary
- Celcuity submitted an sNDA to the FDA for REVTORPYK (gedatolisib) to treat HR+/HER2-, PIK3CA-mutant locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
- The submission follows positive Phase 3 VIKTORIA-1 trial results showing a 50% reduction in disease progression risk versus alpelisib plus fulvestrant.
- REVTORPYK-triplet (gedatolisib + fulvestrant + palbociclib) achieved 11.1 months median PFS vs. 5.6 months with alpelisib plus fulvestrant.
- REVTORPYK-doublet (gedatolisib + fulvestrant) showed 11.3 months median PFS vs. 5.6 months with alpelisib plus fulvestrant.
- The FDA previously approved REVTORPYK for PIK3CA wild-type HR+/HER2- advanced breast cancer in July 2026.
The big picture
Celcuity's sNDA submission represents a strategic push to broaden REVTORPYK's addressable market, targeting a subset of HR+/HER2- breast cancer patients with PIK3CA mutations. The move comes amid growing competition in targeted oncology therapies, where combination regimens are increasingly becoming the standard of care. Success here could position Celcuity as a key player in precision medicine for breast cancer, though regulatory and commercial hurdles remain.
