Nurix Therapeutics, based in San Francisco and listed as NRIX, is developing bexobrutideg, a brain-penetrant BTK degrader in pivotal trials for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, co-developed with Roche from June 2026. Bexobrutideg, or NX-5948, degrades both wild-type and inhibitor-resistant BTK and produced durable responses in relapsed or refractory CLL and small lymphocytic lymphoma, presented orally at EHA 2026; the 2026 plan includes the DAYBreak CLL-201 phase 2 and a confirmatory phase 3. OnCo links it to CLL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, to protein degradation and glue discovery platforms, to Roche, and to bottlenecks on acquired resistance and undruggable drivers. Whether a degrader can overcome the BTK mutations that defeat inhibitors in patients is the question its trials will answer. Roche has its own page.
Bexobrutideg is an experimental protein degrader from Nurix Therapeutics in phase 3 trials for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, aimed at BTK (Bruton tyrosine kinase).
