Novocure Collaborates with Verastem for Clinical Trial

Novocure announced that it has entered into a clinical trial collaboration and supply agreement with Verastem Oncology to evaluate the use of Novocure's Tumor Treating Fields therapy with chemotherapy and VS-7375, Verastem's investigational oral, potent and selective KRAS G12D inhibitor, to treat locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Novocure plans to initiate a clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TTFields therapy concomitant with gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and VS-7375 in approximately 25 patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. Preliminary efficacy is planned to be evaluated as exploratory endpoints. Under the terms of the agreement, Novocure will manage and fund the clinical trial operations and Verastem will supply VS-7375 for the planned clinical trial. The trial is expected to begin enrolling patients in 2027.

Novocure Discloses Cybersecurity Incident

In a regulatory filing, Novocure stated: "In mid-August 2026, NovoCure Limited through a subsidiary, became aware of unauthorized access to some of its information systems. Upon detecting the unauthorized access, the Company activated its cybersecurity response plan, implemented containment measures, and initiated an internal investigation of the event. The Company also engaged independent cybersecurity forensic experts to assist with the investigation, including reviewing the exposed data that was accessed. Based on the investigation to date, the Company determined that the exposed data included: internal Company patient ID numbers for over 1,400 U.S. patient records (these ID numbers are only used internally and no patient names or other identifying data for these was exposed); patient data for fewer than 50 other patients in the western U.S. that included additional identifying information; general contact information for healthcare providers we work with; and general contact information for Novocure employees, such as their job titles and phone numbers. No access to any of our medical treatment devices was obtained, our ability to operate has not been compromised and all of our systems are fully functional. The Company takes its obligation to safeguard privacy and security of its patients' data very seriously. The Company continues to evaluate applicable regulatory and legal notification requirements and will make all required notifications based on its findings, including to impacted patients. At this time, we do not believe that this cybersecurity incident will have a material impact or reasonably likely material impact on our financial condition and results of operations; however, at the time of this filing we are continuing to ascertain additional information regarding this incident. If additional information is obtained whereby we determine this cybersecurity incident will have a material impact or reasonably likely material impact on our financial condition and results of operations, we undertake to file an amendment to this Form 8-K filing under Item 1.05 containing such information within four business days after we, without unreasonable delay, determine such information, or within four business days after such information becomes available."
