Item8.01 Other Events. On November 17, 2025, Nuvalent, Inc. (the "Company") announced positive topline pivotal data for neladalkib, an investigational ALK-selective inhibitor, in tyrosine kinase inhibitor ("TKI") pre-treated patients with advanced ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer ("NSCLC") from the global ALKOVE-1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Additionally, the Company shared the first report of preliminary data from the Phase 2 exploratory cohort for TKI-nave patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC from the ALKOVE-1 study. Summary of Topline Pivotal Data Neladalkib is being evaluated in ALKOVE-1, a first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial for patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC and other solid tumors. The recommended Phase 2 dose ("RP2D") for neladalkib of 150 mg once daily ("QD") was determined during the Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the trial. The global, single-arm, multi-cohort, open-label Phase 2 portion is designed to evaluate neladalkib at the RP2D with registrational intent for TKI pre-treated patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC. Global enrollment in ALKOVE-1 remains ongoing for adult and adolescent patients with ALK-positive solid tumors other than NSCLC, and for adolescent patients with ALK-positive NSCLC. In this topline pivotal dataset for the TKI pre-treated ALK-positive NSCLC population, data are pooled across Phase 1 and 2 and reported for the primary objective of objective response rate (ORR, RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review ("BICR"). Key secondary objectives include duration of response ("DOR"), intracranial ORR ("IC-ORR"), and safety. As of the data cut-off date of August 29, 2025, 781 patients with ALK-positive solid tumors had received neladalkib at any starting dose across the Phase 1 and Phase 2 portions of the ALKOVE-1 clinical trial. Of these, 656 patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC were treated with neladalkib at the RP2D. Efficacy Analysis in TKI Pre-treated Advanced ALK-positive NSCLC The pivotal primary analysis population consisted of 253 TKI pre-treated patients with advanced ALK-positive NSCLC with measurable disease by BICR who received neladalkib at the RP2D by September 30, 2024, with DOR follow-up of at least 6 months available for nearly all responders. The pivotal primary analysis population was distinct from the ALK TKI pre-treated populations that have been reported for the currently available ALK TKIs: Patients received a median of 3 prior lines of therapy (range, 1 – 11) and 51% had received prior chemotherapy. 78% of patients had received 2 or more prior ALK TKIs prior chemotherapy, of which 91% had received prior lorlatinib. No approved therapies have demonstrated activity after lorlatinib. 19% of patients had a secondary ALK G1202R resistance mutation, and 17% had a compound ALK resistance mutation, which are key drivers of disease progression. 40% of patient
