NRG1 융합 관련 적응증의 유병률 및 발생률 증가
NRG1 융합 양성 암의 발생 건수는 여전히 낮은 수준이지만, 분자진단법의 발전과 유전체 검사의 보급에 따라 서서히 증가하고 있습니다. 이러한 증가는 특히 비소세포폐암(NSCLC), 췌장암, 기타 고형암 등의 적응증에서 두드러지게 나타나며, 치료 대상 환자 수의 증가로 이어지는 동시에 효과적인 표적 치료의 필요성을 부각시키고 있습니다. 미국에서는 2025년에 NRG1 융합 양성 비소세포폐암(NSCLC)의 신규 사례가 약 800건 발생할 것으로 예상되며, 2036년까지 그 수가 증가할 것으로 전망됩니다.
희귀 NRG1 융합 암 치료 기회의 확대
NRG1 융합의 희귀성에 더해, 치료 파이프라인이 극히 제한적이라는 점과 첨단 유전체 검사를 통한 검출률 향상이 맞물리면서, 표적 치료 및 정밀 종양학 분야에서 혁신을 이룰 수 있는 큰 기회가 열리고 있습니다. NRG1 융합은 치료 선택지가 제한적인, 치료가 가능한 희귀 종양학 분야이지만, 울혈성 심부전(CHF)과 같은 비종양학적 적응증으로의 연구 확대를 통해 치료 개발을 위한 새로운 길이 열리고 있습니다. 암(HER3 신호전달을 매개로)과 심혈관 회복 메커니즘 모두에서 NRG1의 생물학적 중요성은 혁신을 위한 더 광범위한 기회를 부각시키고 있으며, 이를 통해 NRG1을 표적으로 하는 치료법의 전반적인 임상적 및 상업적 잠재력이 향상되고 있습니다.
희귀 NRG1 융합의 개요
NRG1(뉴레글린 1) 유전자 융합은 일부 고형 종양에서 발견되며, 치료 가능성이 있는 발암성 드라이버입니다. NRG1 융합은 ErbB를 매개로 하는 신호 전달 경로의 활성화를 유발하며, 이는 합리적인 치료 표적이 됩니다. NRG1의 발암성 융합은 세포 표면에서 NRG1 융합 단백질의 과도한 축적을 유발할 가능성이 있습니다. 이로 인해 ErbB 수용체 티로신 키나아제가 지속적으로 활성화되어 mTOR 및 MAPK 경로의 과도한 활성을 유발하고, 종양 형성을 촉진합니다. NRG1 유전자는 ERBB2(HER2)-ERBB3 이종 이량체 수용체 티로신 키나제의 리간드를 암호화합니다. CD74-NRG1 및 SLC33A2-NRG1과 같은 NRG1 유전자 융합은 폐암, 유방암, 대장암, 난소암, 췌장암 등 다양한 종류의 암에서 여러 융합 파트너와 함께 낮은 빈도로 관찰됩니다.
희귀 NRG1 융합의 진단
NRG1 융합은 첨단 분자진단 기술을 통해 확인됩니다. 그중에서도 RNA 기반 차세대 염기서열 분석(NGS)은 유전자 재조합 및 다양한 융합 파트너를 검출하는 데 있어 가장 신뢰할 수 있는 방법으로 여겨집니다. 이러한 희귀 변이의 검출률을 높이고, 환자를 보다 정확하게 분류하며 표적 치료에 대한 접근성을 높이기 위해 임상 현장에서는 점점 더 광범위한 유전체 프로파일링이 활용되고 있습니다.
희귀 NRG1 융합의 치료
NRG1 융합 양성 종양의 현재 치료법은 주로 HER3-HER2 신호전달 경로의 표적 억제에 기반을 두고 있습니다. HER2-HER3 이중특이성항체인 제녹츠주맙은 현재 이용 가능한 주요 표적 치료제 중 하나로, 여러 종류의 종양에서 임상적으로 유의미한 반응을 보이고 있습니다. 또한, 임상적 활용 가능성에 따라 일부 환자에게는 적응증 외 또는 임상시험 단계에 있는 항HER3 약물이 투여될 수 있으며, 치료 방침의 결정은 주로 분자 프로파일링 및 정밀 종양학 옵션에 대한 접근 가능 여부에 근거하여 이루어집니다.
희귀 NRG1 융합에 관한 역학 분석 및 예측의 주요 결과
희귀 NRG1 융합 유전자 시장은 정밀 종양학 분야에서 새롭게 부상하고 있으며 아직 거의 개척되지 않은 분야로, 종합적인 유전체 프로파일링의 보급과 치료 대상이 되는 저빈도 돌연변이의 검출 정확도 향상에 힘입어 성장하고 있습니다. 이러한 희귀성(검사 대상 검체의 약 0.2%)에도 불구하고, 비소세포폐암(NSCLC), 췌장암, 담관암 및 기타 고형암에서 NRG1 융합 유전자의 확인 사례가 증가하고 있어, 해당 검사의 대상이 될 수 있는 환자층은 점차 확대되고 있습니다.
현재 이 시장에서는 여전히 화학요법을 기반으로 한 치료법이나, HER 경로 억제제의 적응증 외 사용이 주류를 이루고 있지만, 제녹츠주맙(BIZENGRI)은 NRG1 융합 양성 비소세포폐암(NSCLC) 및 췌장암에 대해 FDA 승인을 받은 유일한 표적 치료제로 자리매김하고 있으며, 정밀 치료로의 큰 전환을 보여주고 있습니다. 그러나 전반적인 치료 옵션은 여전히 제한적이며, 임상 개발 파이프라인도 부족하기 때문에 충족되지 않은 의료 수요가 크게 부각되고 있습니다.
희귀 NRG1 융합 유전자 시장은 여전히 극히 제한적이고 취약한 임상 파이프라인에 직면해 있으며, 일부 프로그램은 초기 단계에 있거나 G7 국가 이외의 지역으로 한정되어 있습니다. 이는 이 돌연변이의 희귀성과 개발상의 과제 모두를 반영하고 있습니다. 이러한 기존의 제약 외에도, 허밍버드 바이오사이언스(Hummingbird Biosciences)가 개발 중인 임상시험용 신약 HMBD-001(도세탁셀과 병용)은 항-HER3 단일클론 항체로, NRG1 융합/ HER3 변이를 가진 비소세포폐암(NSCLC)의 2차 치료 이후(제Ib상)에서 평가가 진행되고 있습니다. 특히 주목할 점은, 이 프로그램이 주요 7개국(G7) 이외의 지역에서 연구되고 있으며, 호주를 거점으로 한 임상시험(예 : NCT05919537 및 NCT05057013)도 포함되어 있다는 점으로, 이는 그 지리적 범위가 제한적임을 더욱 부각시키고 있습니다.
동시에, 파이프라인은 더욱 축소되고 있습니다. 그 원인 중 하나로, Elevation Oncology사가 후원하던 NRG1 융합 양성 진행성 고형암을 대상으로 한 세리반타맙(NCT04383210) 임상시험이 경영상의 판단에 따라 중단된 점을 들 수 있으며, 이로 인해 이 분야의 전반적인 경쟁 구도가 약화되고 있습니다.
전반적으로, 최초의 치료제 출시, 진단 기법의 개선, 그리고 해당 질환에 대한 인식 제고에 힘입어 2022년부터 2036년까지 주요 7개국 규모의 희귀 NRG1 융합 시장은 꾸준한 성장을 이룰 것으로 예상되며, 이는 시판 제품과 신약 파이프라인 모두에 큰 상업적 영향을 미칠 것으로 전망됩니다.

Key Factors Driving the Rare NRG1 Fusion Market
Rising Prevalence and Incidence of NRG1 Fusion-Associated Indications
The increasing of NRG1 fusion positive cancers remains low but is gradually increasing due to improved molecular diagnostics and broader genomic testing. This rise is particularly observed in indications such as NSCLC, pancreatic cancer, and other solid tumors, leading to a growing identifiable patient population and highlighting the need for effective targeted therapies. In the US, there were ~800 incident cases of NRG1 fusion NSCLC in 2025, which is projected to increase by 2036.
Rising Opportunities in Rare NRG1 Fusion
The rarity of NRG1 fusions, coupled with a highly limited treatment pipeline and increasing detection through advanced genomic testing, is creating significant opportunities for targeted therapies and innovation in precision oncology. While NRG1 fusions represent a rare but actionable oncology segment with limited treatment options, expanding research into non-oncology indications like congestive heart failure (CHF) is opening additional avenues for therapeutic development. The dual relevance of NRG1 biology in both cancer (via HER3 signaling) and cardiovascular repair mechanisms highlights broader opportunities for innovation, thereby increasing the overall clinical and commercial potential of NRG1-targeted therapies.
Emerging Rare NRG1 Fusion Competitive Landscape
The NRG1 Fusion pipeline is constrained, with some potential drugs in development including SAL007/JK07 (Salubris Pharmaceuticals), HMBD-001 (Hummingbird Bioscience), and others.
Rare NRG1 Fusion Overview
NRG1 (Neuregulin 1) gene fusions are potentially actionable oncogenic drivers that are present in some solid tumors. NRG1 fusions result in ErbB-mediated pathway activation and present a rational therapeutic target. Oncogenic fusions of NRG1 may cause excess accumulation of the NRG1-fusion protein at the cell surface. This causes persistent activation of ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases that drive excess activity in the mTOR and MAPK pathways and promote tumorigenesis. The NRG1 gene encodes ligands for the ERBB2 (HER2)-ERBB3 heterodimeric receptor tyrosine kinase. Gene fusions of NRG1 such as CD74-NRG1 and SLC33A2-NRG1 have been found at low frequency in a wide range of carcinomas including lung, breast, colorectal, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers and with a wide range of fusion partners.
Rare NRG1 Fusion Diagnosis
NRG1 fusions are identified using advanced molecular diagnostic techniques, with RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) considered the most reliable approach for detecting gene rearrangements and diverse fusion partners. Broader genomic profiling is increasingly used in clinical practice to improve detection rates of these rare alterations, enabling more accurate patient stratification and access to targeted therapies.
Rare NRG1 Fusion Treatment
The current management of NRG1 fusion-positive tumors is primarily based on targeted inhibition of the HER3-HER2 signaling pathway. The HER2-HER3 bispecific antibody zenocutuzumab represents the key available targeted therapy, demonstrating clinically meaningful responses across multiple tumor types. In addition, some patients may receive off-label or investigational anti-HER3 agents depending on clinical availability, with treatment decisions largely guided by molecular profiling and access to precision oncology options.

Approved Therapy for Rare NRG1 Fusion
Zenocutuzumab-zbco (BIZENGRI): Merus and Partner Therapeutics
Zenocutuzumab-zbco is a bispecific antibody that binds to the extracellular domains of HER2 and HER3 expressed on the surface of cells, including tumor cells, inhibiting HER2:HER3 dimerization and preventing NRG1 binding to HER3. BIZENGRI decreased cell proliferation and signaling through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase-AKT-mammalian target of rapamycin pathway. In addition, it mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. BIZENGRI showed antitumor activity in mouse models of NRG1+ lung and pancreatic cancers. The approval of BIZENGRI is based on data from the eNRGy trial, a multicenter, open-label clinical trial that enrolled patients with NRG1+ pancreatic adenocarcinoma or NRG1+ NSCLC that is advanced unresectable or metastatic and had disease progression on or after prior systemic therapy.
In December 2024, Merus and Partner Therapeutics announced the license agreement of zenocutuzumab in NRG1 fusion-positive cancer in which Merus had exclusively given licensed to Partner Therapeutics to commercialize zenocutuzumab for the treatment of NRG1+ fusion cancer in the US.
Rare NRG1 Fusion Pipeline Analysis
SAL007/JK07: Salubris Pharmaceuticals
SAL007/JK07 is a recombinant fusion protein consisting of a fully IgG1 monoclonal antibody and an active polypeptide fragment of the human growth factor NRG-1. The HER4 pathway appears to be responsible for the regenerative effects in the heart, while the HER3 pathway appears primarily responsible for safety and tolerability limitations of recombinant NRG-1. By blocking HER3 signaling with an antibody fusion design, JK07 selectively stimulates the HER4 pathway with a favorable pharmacokinetic profile, which has the potential to significantly widen the therapeutic window of NRG-1 and yield better clinical effects.

Rare NRG1 Fusion Key Players Drug Updates
Drug Class Insights
The rare NRG1 fusion market is an emerging but highly underserved segment of precision oncology, driven by the increasing adoption of comprehensive genomic profiling and improved detection of low-frequency actionable alterations. Despite its rarity (~0.2% of tested specimens), the growing identification of NRG1 fusions across NSCLC, pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and other solid tumors is gradually expanding the addressable patient pool.
Currently, the market remains dominated by chemotherapy-based regimens and off-label use of HER pathway inhibitors, while zenocutuzumab (BIZENGRI) stands as the only FDA-approved targeted therapy for NRG1 fusion-positive NSCLC and pancreatic cancer, marking a major shift toward precision treatment. However, overall treatment options remain limited, and the clinical pipeline is sparse, highlighting significant unmet need.
The rare NRG1 fusion market continues to face a highly limited and fragile clinical pipeline, with several programs either early-stage or restricted to non-7MM geographies, reflecting both the rarity of the alteration and development challenges. Alongside existing constraints, the investigational asset HMBD-001 (in combination with docetaxel), developed by Hummingbird Bioscience, is an anti-HER3 monoclonal antibody being evaluated in NRG1 fusion/HER3-altered NSCLC in second-line and beyond settings (Phase Ib). Notably, this program is being studied outside the 7MM, including Australia-based clinical trials (e.g., NCT05919537 and NCT05057013), further highlighting its limited geographic footprint.
At the same time, the pipeline has contracted further due to discontinuations, including the termination of the seribantumab study (NCT04383210) in NRG1 fusion-positive advanced solid tumors, sponsored by Elevation Oncology, due to a business decision, which has reduced overall competitive momentum in this space.
Overall, the launch of first therapy, improved diagnostic approaches, and increasing disease awareness are expected to drive steady growth in the 7MM rare NRG1 fusion market from 2022-2036, with strong commercial implications for both marketed products and emerging pipelines.
