Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On June 3, 2022, NovoCure Limited (the "Company" or "Novocure"), jointly with Zai Lab, issued a press release announcing that the EF-31 phase 2 pilot study, testing the safety and efficacy of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) together with standard-of-care (chemotherapy alone or in combination with trastuzumab for HER2-positive patients) as a first-line treatment in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma, met its primary endpoint of objective response rate with supportive signals across secondary endpoints. TTFields therapy was well tolerated, with no increase in the systemic toxicity of the XELOX chemotherapy regimen or the combination regimen, and no high-grade skin toxicities were reported.

Initial analysis was conducted with a median follow-up period of 8.6 months. The primary endpoint, confirmed objective response rate, was 50%. Median progression-free survival was 7.8 months. Duration of response was 10.3 months. Median overall survival has not yet been reached with a one-year survival rate of 72%.

The EF-31 clinical study, which is a prospective, single arm, phase 2 pilot study conducted in China, included 26 patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal junction or gastric adenocarcinoma who were previously untreated with systemic therapy. Patients received continuous treatment with TTFields together with the XELOX chemotherapy regimen (combination of oxaliplatin and capecitabine). Trastuzumab was allowed for HER2-positive patients.
