Raising 2025 Revenue Guidance: Optimism Supported by Clinical and Commercial Momentum
Buoyed by the strong results, Rigel raised its 2025 total revenue guidance to $285–$290 million (previously $270–$280 million), and net product sales expectations to $225–$230 million. The company anticipates a positive net income for the full year, aiming to fund ongoing and new development programs with its expanded cash reserves of $137.1 million.
Commercial Launches and Product Growth: Diverse Portfolio Fuels Expansion
Each of Rigel's three marketed therapies saw robust double-digit growth. Notably, TAVALISSE net sales grew 70%, GAVRETO by 56%, and REZLIDHIA by 50% compared to the prior year’s third quarter. The commercial launch of TAVALISSE in South Korea further expanded international reach.
Pipeline Progress: R289 Clinical Study Milestones and Data Readouts on the Horizon
The clinical pipeline continues to advance, particularly with R289—a dual IRAK1/4 inhibitor targeting lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Enrollment in the dose escalation phase is complete, with the dose expansion phase underway. An oral presentation of updated R289 trial data is slated for the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting in December, signaling upcoming clinical milestones.
Additionally, further studies on olutasidenib in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and new collaborations with academic centers point to ongoing research breadth. The collaboration with Eli Lilly around ocadusertib continues, although a CNS program with Lilly will be terminated later in the year.
Expenses Steady Amid Revenue Gains, Cash Position Strengthens
Total Q3 costs and expenses edged down slightly to $41.0 million, reflecting lower product sales costs and offset by rising R&D investment and personnel expenses. Year-to-date cash and short-term investments grew to $137.1 million, a notable increase from $77.3 million at 2024 year-end, offering further runway for development and operations.
Key Takeaway: Rigel’s Outlook Remains Positive as Clinical and Commercial Engines Advance
Rigel’s third quarter marks a significant step up in profitability, sales, and clinical activity. With raised guidance, an expanding cash cushion, and clinical data presentations ahead, investors and industry watchers have a reason to monitor upcoming catalysts—especially those around the R289 study at the December ASH conference.
