Briefing

Reported sound execution and expansion, driven by restructured commercial organization and successful Optune launch in France.

Novocure reported a decrease in total net revenues for the quarter, primarily due to reduced collections from previously denied or appealed claims in the U.S. However, the company saw an increase in prescriptions and achieved positive results from the phase 3 LUNAR trial.

  • Total net revenues for the quarter were $126.1 million, an 11% decrease compared to the same period in 2022.
  • Gross margin for the quarter was 73%.
  • 1,556 prescriptions were received in the quarter, a 13% increase compared to the same period in 2022.
  • Phase 3 LUNAR trial in non-small cell lung cancer met primary and key secondary survival endpoints.
