“2023 was a year of important progress across our organization, in which we demonstrated our ability to drive commercial growth while advancing our clinical pipeline and strategically investing in key earlier-stage programs,” said Steve Hoerter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deciphera Pharmaceuticals. “Thanks to our late-stage clinical execution and global commercial excellence, we have the potential to reach $1 billion in peak revenue with QINLOCK and vimseltinib, and we look forward to continuing this exciting evolution as we work to become a self-sustaining, multi-product company.”

Planned 2024 corporate milestones and business updates include:

QINLOCK® (ripretinib)

  • Continue enrolling the INSIGHT pivotal Phase 3 clinical study of QINLOCK versus sunitinib in second-line gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients with mutations in KIT exon 11 and 17/18 only.
  • Publication in Nature Medicine in January 2024 of the results of a ctDNA analysis from the INTRIGUE Phase 3 study demonstrating substantial clinical benefit of QINLOCK in second-line GIST patients with mutations in KIT exon 11 and 17/18 only.
  • Continue the geographic expansion of QINLOCK in fourth-line GIST, with planned commercial launches following conclusion of pricing and reimbursement negotiations in European and international markets.
  • The Company has entered into a supply and distribution agreement with GENESIS Pharma, a leading regional biopharma company, in Central and Eastern Europe under which GENESIS Pharma will be the exclusive distributor of QINLOCK in 14 countries in the European Union with a combined population of 118 million including Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Romania and Poland.
