Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today positive results from the Phase III evERA Breast Cancer study. Data showed giredestrant in combination with everolimus significantly reduced the risk of disease progression or death (progression-free survival; PFS) by 44% and 62% in the intention-to-treat (ITT) and ESR1-mutated populations, respectively, compared with standard-of-care endocrine therapy plus everolimus. The evERA study is evaluating the investigational giredestrant combination in people with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. This is the first positive head-to-head Phase III trial investigating a selective estrogen receptor degrader-containing regimen versus a standard-of-care combination. The results are being presented in an oral session at the European Society for Medical Oncology Congress 2025. Data will be shared with health authorities, with the aim of bringing this potential treatment option to people as soon as possible.
Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today results from two Phase III studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of two doses of investigational vamikibart (0.25 and 1 mg) compared with a sham procedure that mimics intravitreal (IVT) injections in people with uveitic macular edema (UME). UME is characterized by the buildup of fluid in the macula due to uveitis, an inflammatory condition of the eye, that can result in vision loss. Across both studies, the primary and secondary endpoint data support the potential for rapid improvements in vision and reductions in macular thickness (swelling in the back of the eye due to retinal fluid) with vamikibart treatment. The data were presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting (AAO 2025) in Orlando, FL.

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), today announced the company’s first Direct-to-Patient (DTP) program. This program, which supports President Trump’s goal to make medicines more affordable for American patients, applies to Xofluza® (baloxavir marboxil), a single-dose oral antiviral medication used to treat the flu in patients ages five and up as well as those who have been exposed to the flu. This initiative will help reduce costs for people who don’t have insurance, have limited coverage, or whose health plans don’t cover Xofluza.
Merck's KEYNOTE-B96 trial shows Keytruda with chemotherapy improves survival in platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer with a consistent safety profile.

In a pivotal moment for oncology, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on October 2, 2025, granted approval for the innovative combination of Jazz Pharmaceuticals' (NASDAQ: JAZZ) Zepzelca (lurbinectedin) and Roche's (SIX: ROG, OTCQX: RHHBY) Tecentriq (atezolizumab), along with its subcutaneous formulation Tecentriq Hybreza. This landmark decision sanctions
Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Tecentriq® (atezolizumab) and Tecentriq Hybreza® (atezolizumab and hyaluronidase-tqjs) in combination with lurbinectedin (Zepzelca®) for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) whose disease has not progressed after first-line induction therapy with Tecentriq or Tecentriq Hybreza, carboplatin and etoposide (CE). This approval marks the first and only combination therapy for the first-line maintenance treatment of ES-SCLC, a highly aggressive disease for which treatment options have been limited. The U.S. National Comprehensive Cancer Network® Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®)* have been updated to include the regimen as a category 2A and preferred option for maintenance treatment of people with ES-SCLC, following induction therapy with Tecentriq and CE.
London, UK – October 2, 2025 – In a monumental stride for biotechnology and medicine, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has achieved a scientific breakthrough, demonstrating an unprecedented ability to design synthetic proteins for genome editing that not only match but significantly outperform their naturally occurring counterparts.

Genentech, a member of the Roche Group (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), announced today positive results from the Phase III evERA study evaluating investigational giredestrant in combination with everolimus in people with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor and endocrine therapy. The study met both co-primary endpoints, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) in both the intention-to-treat and ESR1-mutated populations, compared with standard-of-care endocrine therapy plus everolimus. Overall survival (OS) data were immature, but a clear positive trend was observed. Follow-up continues to the next OS analysis. The giredestrant combination was well tolerated. Adverse events were consistent with the known safety profiles of the individual study treatments, and no new safety signals were observed. This is the first positive head-to-head Phase III trial investigating an all-oral selective estrogen receptor degrader-containing regimen versus a standard of care combination.
