Nurix Therapeutics

Drug discovery targeting ubiquitin E3 ligases

Overview

Nurix Therapeutics develops drugs that use the body's own protein-degradation system to treat diseases. Its core approach is to control ubiquitin E3 ligases, enzymes that tag unwanted proteins for breakdown in cells. By modulating these ligases, Nurix aims to create therapeutics, especially small-molecule immuno-oncology agents, that can selectively remove disease-related proteins in cancer and other serious conditions. The company operates by discovering and developing drug candidates and earning revenue through partnerships, licensing, and potential future sales of its medicines. Unlike many biotech firms that target single proteins, Nurix focuses on the protein-degradation pathway to influence multiple disease processes through carefully designed molecules. The goal is to bring new cancer treatments and other therapies to patients by advancing its degrader-based drugs through research, collaboration, and development toward commercial use.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • Roche paid $700 million upfront; Nurix ended August 31, 2026 with $1.1 billion cash.
  • October 12, 2026 revenue hit $673.1 million, proving partnering can monetize platform quickly.
  • Pfizer milestones and Roche Phase 3 expansion keep multiple shots on goal alive.

What critics are saying

  • Sanofi terminated SAR448272 on November 3, 2026, destroying $455 million milestones and royalties.
  • Bexobrutideg now carries Nurix's commercial fate; Phase 3 failure would crush valuation.
  • Roche collaboration concentrates execution risk; delay or safety issues would stall autoimmune and neurology expansion.

What makes Nurix Therapeutics unique

  • Bexobrutideg, a BTK degrader, targets resistance missed by standard BTK inhibitors.
  • Roche and Nurix launched DAYBreak CLL-306 on October 12, 2026.
  • Nurix combines E3 ligase expertise with Pfizer DACs and Roche immunology breadth.

Nurix loses Sanofi STAT6 deal but bexobrutideg CLL data shows high response rates

Nurix Therapeutics said Sanofi has ended the Phase 1 trial and the wider SAR448272 STAT6 degrader program. Nurix remains eligible for milestones and royalties from other partnered assets. The company also reported new Phase 1a/1b data for bexobrutideg in relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL. The data showed high response rates and continued favourable tolerability. The Sanofi exit removes one potential royalty stream. Bexobrutideg, which underpins the Roche alliance, is now the main driver for the company, though it still faces high R&D spending and a history of quarterly net losses. Analyst models project 2029 revenue of $297.9 million and earnings of $47.6 million.

Nurix shares plunge 35% after Sanofi ends drug programme worth up to $455M in milestones

Shares of Nurix Therapeutics (NRIX) fell 35% after hours on Tuesday, after partner Sanofi ended development of SAR448272, an experimental oral drug it licensed from Nurix. Sanofi is terminating the early-stage first-in-human trial. The compound was being studied for type 2 inflammatory and autoimmune conditions such as atopic dermatitis and asthma. The decision ends roughly $455 million in potential milestone payments, plus royalties, tied to the program. Nurix has received about $139 million from Sanofi under their 2019 deal, including $10 million when the trial began this year. Nurix said its cash runway guidance is unchanged. It held $1.1 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of August 31, which it expects will fund operations into the second half of 2029.

Nurix revenue jumps to $673M on Roche deal, but shares slip 2% after hours

Nurix Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NRIX) reported third quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $673.1 million on Monday, up from $7.9 million a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share were $4.73, against a loss of $1.03 per share in the prior-year period. The jump came mainly from $653.2 million in licence revenue from its Roche collaboration and a $10 million development milestone payment from Sanofi. Shares fell 2% in after-hours trading, though they were up nearly 8% shortly after. Research and development expenses fell to $79.3 million from $86.1 million, due to cost sharing with Roche. General and administrative expenses rose to $34.4 million from $13.2 million, driven by one-time costs from the Roche deal. Nurix dosed the first patient in its Phase 3 trial of bexobrutideg in relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL. Cash and securities totalled $1.1 billion as of August 31, 2026, which the company said funds operations into the second half of 2029.

Press releases.

Press releases. Nurix Therapeutics announces achievement of $7 million milestone under strategic collaboration with Pfizer. September 29, 2026 Milestone reflects continued progress in collaboration to develop a novel class of degrader antibody conjugates, or DACs. BRISBANE, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRIX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted protein degradation medicines, today announced the achievement of a $7 million research milestone under its strategic collaboration with Pfizer for the discovery and development of degrader antibody conjugates (DACs). Nurix entered into the collaboration with Seagen Inc., now part of Pfizer, in September 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, Nurix received an upfront payment of $60 million and became eligible to receive up to $3.4 billion in potential research, development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments across multiple programs, as well as mid-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage tiered royalties on future product sales. Nurix also retains an option for U.S. profit sharing and co-promotion on up to two products arising from the collaboration. In connection with today's announcement, Nurix will receive a $7 million milestone payment from Pfizer, which will bring the total amount received under this agreement to $82 million. About Degrader Antibody Conjugates (DACs) DACs are an emerging therapeutic modality designed to combine the cell and tissue selectivity of antibodies with the catalytic mechanism of targeted protein degraders. Unlike traditional antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), which typically deliver cytotoxic payloads to antigen-expressing cells, DACs deliver targeted protein degraders designed to eliminate specific disease-driving proteins. This approach has the potential to provide multiple layers of selectivity based on cell-surface antigen expression, the intracellular protein target and E3 ligase expression. About Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. Nurix Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted protein degradation medicines, a new frontier in drug discovery aimed at improving treatment options for patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases. Nurix's clinical-stage oncology pipeline includes bexobrutideg, a degrader of BTK being co-developed with Roche, and NX-1607, an inhibitor of Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene B (CBL-B), an E3 ligase that regulates activation of multiple immune cell types including T cells and NK cells. Nurix's autoimmune disease pipeline includes bexobrutideg in collaboration with Roche and clinical-stage degraders of IRAK4 in collaboration with Gilead and STAT6 in collaboration with Sanofi. Nurix is also advancing multiple potentially first-in-class or best-in-class degraders and degrader antibody conjugates in its wholly owned preclinical pipeline and under collaboration agreements with Gilead Sciences, Inc., Sanofi S.A. and Pfizer Inc., within which Nurix retains certain options for co-development, co-commercialization and profit sharing in the United States for multiple drug candidates. Powered by an AI-integrated discovery engine capable of tackling virtually any protein class, and coupled with unparalleled ligase expertise, Nurix's dedicated team has built a formidable advantage in translating the science of targeted protein degradation into clinical advancements. Nurix aims to establish degrader-based treatments at the forefront of patient care, writing medicine's next chapter with a new script to outmatch disease. Nurix is headquartered in Brisbane, California. For additional information, visit www.nurixtx.com.
