September 28, 2026 -NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) will present data from 45 company-sponsored, investigator-sponsored, and collaborative research abstracts at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, taking place October 23-27, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. The presentations include 11 oral presentations spanning Pfizer’s established medicines and late-stage pipeline across its disease areas of focus, including breast cancer, genitourinary cancers, and lung cancer.
“At Pfizer Oncology, we're focused on improving outcomes for people living with cancer. That means continuing to raise the standard of care today while pursuing the breakthroughs that will shape the future of oncology. The data we're presenting at ESMO reflect that focus, strengthening the evidence behind medicines such as PADCEV and TALZENNA, while advancing promising investigational candidates including atirmociclib and tivunatamig. By building on our leadership in breast, genitourinary, and lung cancers, we're working to bring meaningful progress to patients today and for years to come.”

Key Highlights of Pfizer’s Presence at ESMO 2026
Guiding the Next Wave of Oncology Innovation
-
Phase 2 randomized results from the FOURLIGHT-1 study of atirmociclib, a highly selective cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4 inhibitor, plus fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who had received prior CDK 4/6 inhibitor-based treatment. These results further support atirmociclib as a potential first-in-class cell cycle inhibitor backbone for HR+, HER2- MBC and Pfizer’s development strategy in earlier lines of therapy. A Phase 3 study in frontline MBC is ongoing and an additional Phase 3 study in early breast cancer is planned to evaluate atirmociclib in combination with giredestrant, an investigational oral selective oestrogen receptor degrader under development by Roche.

-
Late-breaking overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) results from the Phase 3 SigVie-002 study evaluating sigvotatug vedotin (SV), an investigational integrin β6 (IB6)-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), as monotherapy in previously treated non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The findings will provide additional insight into previously announced topline results and inform the continued development of SV in earlier treatment settings, including an ongoing Phase 3 trial evaluating SV in combination with pembrolizumab in first-line advanced NSCLC and additional novel combinations under evaluation. (Presentation #LBA68)
-
Updated Phase 2 data for tivunatamig (PF-08634404, PF’4404), a novel bispecific antibody targeting PD-1 and VEGF, in combination with chemotherapy in first-line PD-L1-expressing NSCLC. Tivunatamig is being developed as a potential best-in-class backbone therapy designed to combine two validated and complementary pathways in a single agent across tumor types, including ongoing pivotal studies in first-line NSCLC, first-line metastatic colorectal cancer, and advanced/recurrent endometrial cancer. Additional Phase 3 combination studies are planned, including with PADCEV ®(enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) in metastatic urothelial cancer. (Presentation #2660P)
Expanding Evidence Across the Portfolio
-
Updated exploratory analyses from the Phase 3 EV-302 trial evaluating outcomes with PADCEV plus pembrolizumab in previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC), including among older patients, patients with comorbidities, and subgroups defined by disease-related characteristics. The findings further strengthen confidence in the regimen as a first-line foundation of care in la/mUC across clinically relevant populations. (Presentations #4760P and #4761P)
-
Results from STARBOARD, a non-registrational Phase 3 trial evaluating an investigational triplet combination regimen of BRAFTOVI ®(encorafenib) and MEKTOVI ®(binimetinib) with pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA ®) in first-line BRAF V600-mutant advanced melanoma. These findings contribute important evidence to an evolving treatment landscape. (Presentation #2071O)
Deepening Understanding of Treatment Outcomes and Patient Experience
-
Patient-reported outcomes and a safety analysis from the Phase 3 TALAPRO-3 study further supporting TALZENNA ®(talazoparib) plus XTANDI ® (enzalutamide) as a potential treatment option for men with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene-altered metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC; also known as metastatic APMN/S prostate cancer). A supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for TALZENNA plus XTANDI in mAPMN/S is currently under Priority Review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). (Presentations #2222RO and #2231P)
-
An ad-hoc analysis from the Phase 3 EV-303 trial (also known as KEYNOTE-905) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and health-related quality of life analyses from the Phase 3 EV-304 (KEYNOTE-B15) trial. These analyses provide important biological and patient-centered context to previously reported survival data and further support perioperative PADCEV plus pembrolizumab as a new potential standard of care in muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). (Presentations #4733O, #4734O and #4738RO)
