Q&A highlights

What is the current patient mix for testicular cancer, and how is usage split between academic centers and community oncology practices? Also, what are the plans for PEDMARC's lifecycle management?

Testicular cancer remains a significant driver, being the largest AYA tumor type for PEDMARC utilization, accounting for over 80% of patients across testicular, cervical, and head and neck cancers. Usage is well-balanced between academic and community settings, with both growing nicely. Lifecycle management is being explored through Investigator Sponsored Studies (ISTs) to potentially expand the label and NCCN guidelines.

“We've got over 80% of our patients. right now between testicular, cervical, and head and neck. And predominantly, it is testicular that's the larger driver of all of those.”

Detailed narrative

Commercial Execution and Sales Force Expansion

Fennec Pharmaceuticals has significantly expanded its commercial reach, increasing its customer-facing team to target approximately 5,000 prescribers, up from 1,300. This expansion has led to a 280% increase in sales calls made by the field sales team in Q2 FY26 and double-digit demand growth over Q1 FY26.

The company attributes its seventh consecutive quarter of growth to this disciplined execution and greater reach, with new representatives contributing meaningfully to the success.

Innovative Disease Awareness Campaign

In Q2 FY26, Fennec launched a disruptive disease awareness initiative called 'Indy's Nuts' at the Indianapolis 500 to raise awareness about Cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIO) and testicular cancer. The campaign, featuring sponsorships with a race car driver and an NFL linebacker, distributed over 100,000 bags of peanuts to encourage self-exams and educate patients about CIO prevention.

Performance metrics exceeded industry norms, demonstrating the company's ability to engage broad audiences beyond traditional healthcare settings.

Medical Affairs and Evidence Generation Progress

The medical affairs team expanded its unique HCP reach by 63% and affiliated sites by 72% in Q2 FY26. The company initiated a third Investigator Sponsored Study (IST) with the University of Arizona Cancer Center, adding to existing studies with Tampa General Hospital Cancer Institute and City of Hope, all actively accruing patients.

Discussions at ASCO showed a shift from general CIO awareness to practical implementation questions, reflecting growing clinical confidence and momentum towards broader PEDMARC adoption.

Record Demand and Q3 Momentum

PEDMARC saw record patient enrollment in Q2 FY26, driven by its patient services hub, Finnecure, and strong AYA enrollment supported by NCCN 2A recommendations. Over half of the business came from home infusion centers, offering flexible scheduling. This momentum carried into Q3 FY26, with July recording all-time highs for completed PEDMARC infusions, new patient enrollments, active patients on therapy, and new customers, indicating continued commercial success.

Japan Market Strategy and Partnership Discussions

Fennec is actively engaged in discussions with potential partners in Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region for PEDMARC. The company aims to maximize long-term value and accelerate product approval in Japan, especially following the selection of the STS-J01 clinical trial data for an oral presentation at the SIOP 2026 Annual Meeting in September.

This data will include the first public presentation of human pharmacokinetic data for PEDMARC.

Lifecycle Management and In-Licensing Opportunities

Management is exploring lifecycle management opportunities for PEDMARC, particularly through insights from the ongoing ISTs, which could lead to label expansion and increased NCCN guideline recommendations. The company is also open to in-licensing complementary products to leverage its high-performing sales force and expand its commercial offerings within oncology supportive care, actively evaluating opportunities that align with its strategic goals.
