Announcement
ALX Oncology Holdings Inc announced that data from exploratory analyses in the Phase 1b/2 clinical trial evaluating the company's investigational CD47-inhibitor evorpacept in combination with Jazz Pharmaceuticals' zanidatamab (ZIIHERA®) in patients with heavily pre-treated HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) were presented for the first time today in a poster session at the ESMO Breast Cancer 2026 congress.
AI Summary
ALX Oncology reported that exploratory analyses from its Phase 1b/2 trial of evorpacept (a CD47 inhibitor) combined with Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ zanidatamab were presented today in a poster session at the ESMO Breast Cancer 2026 congress. The data come from heavily pre-treated patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and, according to ALX, further support a biomarker-driven development approach for evorpacept.
The exploratory dataset included 24 patients (10 with centrally confirmed HER2-positive disease). Seventeen of 24 tumor samples were evaluable for CD47 expression, including samples from nine of the 10 centrally confirmed patients. Patients received zanidatamab plus evorpacept at 20 mg/kg (n=3) or 30 mg/kg (n=21). The analyses used an August 1, 2024 data cut-off.
ALX said the findings are consistent with prior ASPEN-06 results in HER2-positive gastric cancer, suggesting CD47 expression may be a predictive biomarker for evorpacept activity. The company will discuss these results in more detail during a May 8 webcast reporting first-quarter 2026 financial results.Read Announcement

Announcement
ALX Oncology Holdings Inc , announced results from a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial demonstrating the company's investigational CD47-blocker evorpacept in combination with Jazz Pharmaceuticals' zanidatamab generates promising anti-tumor activity in patients with both HER2-positive and HER2-low advanced breast cancer.
AI Summary
ALX Oncology Holdings Inc recently announced promising early results from a Phase 1b/2 clinical trial. The study evaluated the investigational CD47-blocker evorpacept in combination with Jazz Pharmaceuticals’ zanidatamab in patients with advanced breast cancer. The trial included both HER2-positive and HER2-low patients who had already received multiple prior HER2-targeted treatments. Notably, HER2-positive patients showed encouraging responses; one subgroup reported an objective response rate of 55.6% with extended progression-free survival, suggesting that even heavily pretreated patients may benefit from this novel combination. The treatment was generally well tolerated, with most side effects being low-grade, such as fatigue, nausea, and infusion-related reactions. These findings support the potential of evorpacept combined with a HER2-targeted agent as a new therapeutic option for patients who have exhausted standard treatments for advanced breast cancer.

AI Summary
In September 2025, Jazz Pharmaceuticals presented new real-world evidence and Phase 4 DUET trial data on Xywav® (low-sodium oxybate) at World Sleep 2025 in Singapore and the 38th Annual Psych Congress in San Diego. Across 20 abstracts, findings highlighted significant improvements in both daytime and nighttime symptoms for adults with narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnia (IH).
The DUET trial, a single-arm, open-label study, showed Xywav reduced awakenings, decreased wake after sleep onset, and improved actigraphy measures in narcolepsy and IH patients. Analyses also demonstrated reduced sleep inertia, fewer psychomotor vigilance lapses, and lower Karolinska Sleepiness Scale ratings upon waking.
Real-world data underscored the cardiovascular and renal risks tied to high sodium intake, emphasizing the benefits of low-sodium Xywav. Additionally, participants taking doses above 9 grams nightly experienced further reductions in sleepiness and cataplexy versus baseline.
These results reinforce Xywav’s value in improving sleep quality, daily functioning, and long-term health outcomes for people living with narcolepsy or IH.

AI Summary
Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc announced it will present eight abstracts at the 15th European Epilepsy Congress (EEC). One key presentation is a subgroup analysis of the BECOME Caregiver Survey. This survey gathered real-world insights from caregivers of patients with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) or Dravet syndrome (DS) who were treated with Epidiolex/Epidyolex (a 100mg/mL cannabidiol oral solution) combined with clobazam. The findings demonstrate that most caregivers reported improvements in both seizure-related outcomes and non-seizure measures such as alertness, cognition, and language. These results underline Epidyolex’s potential for enhancing the overall well-being of patients beyond just seizure control. Additional analyses from pivotal trials further support the clinical benefits associated with reduced drop seizures, reinforcing the holistic impact of Epidyolex for patients and their families.

Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc announced top-line results from the Phase 3 open-label, single-arm trial in Japan evaluating the safety and efficacy of cannabidiol oral solution (marketed as Epidiolex®/Epidyolex® globally) as an adjunctive treatment for seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), Dravet syndrome (DS) or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).
AI Summary
Jazz Pharmaceuticals announced top-line results from its Phase 3, open-label, single-arm trial in Japan, which evaluated the safety and efficacy of its cannabidiol oral solution (marketed as Epidiolex®/Epidyolex®) as an add-on treatment for seizures linked to Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome, and tuberous sclerosis complex in pediatric patients. Although the trial did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint of a pre-specified change in seizure frequency over a 16-week period compared to baseline, the study did observe numeric improvements in both the primary and several secondary endpoints.
No new safety issues were identified during the trial. Building on Epidyolex’s established clinical profile from five global Phase 3 studies involving over 900 patients, Jazz Pharmaceuticals plans to continue collecting data in Japan and to consult with regulatory authorities about a potential new drug application, addressing the significant unmet needs in pediatric rare epilepsies.

AI Summary
Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc recently announced top-line results from its Phase 2b clinical trial (NCT05122650) studying the safety and efficacy of suvecaltamide (JZP385) in adult patients with essential tremor. Suvecaltamide, a highly selective and state-dependent modulator of T-type calcium channels, was evaluated in a once-daily oral dosing regimen. Although the trial did not achieve statistical significance at the 30mg dose compared to placebo for the primary endpoint—change on the Essential Tremor Rating Assessment Scale (TETRAS) modified composite score—or the key secondary endpoint, the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale, there were numerical improvements observed in these measures.
The study also showed a favorable safety profile for suvecaltamide, with mostly mild to moderate adverse events including dizziness, headache, paresthesia, diarrhea, and insomnia. Jazz Pharmaceuticals is now reviewing the data and looks ahead to further studies, including a Phase 2 trial in Parkinson’s disease tremor.
