GSK's oncology push: Jemperli FDA approval and strong ADC data at ESMO for $97.4B group

GSK presented late-stage oncology data at the ESMO Congress in October 2026 on three drugs: Jemperli, Mo-Rez and Ris-Rez. The £76.7 billion pharmaceuticals group is leaning on oncology as a key part of its mix. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Jemperli accelerated approval for MSI-H/dMMR locally advanced rectal cancer. In the AZUR-1 trial, 71% of patients received dostarlimab alone, without additional treatment or progression in the assessment window. Mo-Rez showed a 62% confirmed response rate in platinum-resistant ovarian and endometrial cancers, with a median duration of 12.2 months. Ris-Rez delivered a 61% objective response rate in extensive stage small cell lung cancer. Investors should watch the phase III trials and AZUR-1 follow-up data.
