On September 14, 2026, BioNTech SE and OncoC4 announced updated median overall survival data from the non-pivotal stage 1 of the PRESERVE-003 Phase 3 clinical trial for gotistobart (BNT316/ONC-392) in patients with squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The investigational immunotherapy demonstrated a median overall survival of 18.5 months compared to 10.0 months for standard-of-care docetaxel chemotherapy, representing nearly double the survival benefit (HR: 0.56; nominal p-value=0.0295). This data was presented at the IASLC 2026 World Conference on Lung Cancer and supports gotistobart's potential as a chemotherapy-free monotherapy.

BioNTech SE terminated the Phase 2 clinical trial (BNT122-01) for autogene cevumeran as an adjuvant monotherapy in patients with ctDNA-positive, surgically resected Stage II or III colorectal cancer. The decision followed a recommendation from the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board, which identified a numerical imbalance in overall survival and concluded that further continuation was unlikely to change efficacy outcomes after the futility boundary was crossed in October 2025. No new safety signals were identified. BioNTech will conduct a thorough analysis of the trial data to inform future development strategies. The Phase 2 IMcode003 trial for autogene cevumeran in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma continues as planned.
