Hiscox partners Bellwether for wildfire insurance modelling
Hiscox has partnered Bellwether, a team at X, Alphabet's Moonshot Factory, to introduce a new approach to wildfire modelling for the Californian insurance market. The collaboration involves Hiscox London Market's Property division working with Bellwether to incorporate its AI-powered wildfire model into existing risk scoring and modelling processes, seeking to improve risk selection and pricing for insurance products. The new model is already providing additional insurance options for homeowners in California. Bellwether's tool analyses extensive data to estimate wildfire risk, incorporating historical environmental information and various risk drivers. The company claims that Bellwether has been designed to forecast wildfire risk up to five years ahead. It will enable Hiscox to offer sustainable insurance solutions tailored to the evolving risk landscape. The model generates absolute wildfire risk scores, providing transparency regarding the factors contributing to each score. Hiscox London market's property divisional director James Brady stated: 'This partnership allows us to integrate the very latest AI-powered modelling from Bellwether, with other third-party models and our own advanced risk modelling framework. 'It's a powerful combination that can support a much more sustainable insurance solution for Californian homeowners. With this world-class, multi-model approach, we can quantify an insured's exposure to wildfire risk with more precision, which in turn enables us to offer Hiscox capacity to a wider range of customers.' Sarah Russell from Bellwether added: 'Bellwether leverages the best of Google's geospatial knowledge and AI technology to help companies and communities adapt better to the changing landscape of severe weather events like wildfire. We are excited to be working with Hiscox to show how Bellwether can help provide additional measurement, analysis and predictions for this dynamic risk and, in turn, assist in the availability and sustainable provision of wildfire insurance for Californian homeowners.'

Nuvalent Announces Timing of Pivotal Data for TKI Pre-treated Patients with Advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC from ARROS-1 Clinical Trial of Zidesamtinib
Company to host webcast and conference call on June 24, 2025 at 8:00am ET CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuvalent, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUVL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating precisely targeted therapies for clinically proven kinase targets in cancer, today announced that the company will host a webcast and conference call on Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at 8:00 a.m. ET, to discuss pivotal data for zidesamtinib, a novel ROS1-selective inhibitor, in TKI pre-treated patients with advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer from the global ARROS-1 Phase 1/2 clinical trial. Webcast and Conference Call Information To access the call, please dial +1 (800) 836-8184 (domestic) or +1 (646) 357-8785 (international) at least 10 minutes prior to the start time and ask to be joined to the Nuvalent call. Accompanying slides and a live video webcast will be available in the Investors section of the Nuvalent website at A replay and accompanying slides will be archived on the Nuvalent website for 30 days. About Zidesamtinib and the ARROS-1 Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial Zidesamtinib is a novel brain-penetrant ROS1-selective inhibitor created with the aim to overcome limitations observed with currently available ROS1 inhibitors. Zidesamtinib is designed to remain active in tumors that have developed resistance to currently available ROS1 inhibitors, including tumors with treatment-emergent ROS1 mutations such as G2032R. In addition, zidesamtinib is designed for central nervous system (CNS) penetrance to improve treatment options for patients with brain metastases, and to avoid inhibition of the structurally related tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) family. Together, these characteristics have the potential to avoid TRK-related CNS adverse events seen with dual TRK/ROS1 inhibitors and to drive deep, durable responses for patients across all lines of therapy. Zidesamtinib has received breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been previously treated with 2 or more ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors and orphan drug designation for ROS1-positive NSCLC. Zidesamtinib is currently being investigated in the ARROS-1 trial (NCT05118789), a first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial for patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC and other solid tumors. The completed Phase 1 portion enrolled ROS1-positive NSCLC patients who previously received at least one ROS1 TKI, or patients with other ROS1-positive solid tumors who had been previously treated. The Phase 1 portion of the trial was designed to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of zidesamtinib, with additional objectives including determination of the recommended Phase 2 dose, characterization of the pharmacokinetic profile, and evaluation of preliminary anti-tumor activity. The ongoing global, single arm, open label Phase 2 portion is designed with registrational intent for TKI-naïve and TKI pre-treated patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC. About Nuvalent Nuvalent, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUVL) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on creating precisely targeted therapies for patients with cancer, designed to overcome the limitations of existing therapies for clinically proven kinase targets. Leveraging deep expertise in chemistry and structure-based drug design, we develop innovative small molecules that have the potential to overcome resistance, minimize adverse events, address brain metastases, and drive more durable responses. Nuvalent is advancing a robust pipeline with investigational candidates for ROS1-positive, ALK-positive, and HER2-altered non-small cell lung cancer, and multiple discovery-stage research programs.
