Revolution Medicines Posts Positive Phase 1/2 Zoldonrasib Data in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer, Backing Phase 3 Trials

3 articles · Updated · Simply Wall St · Jul 6

Summary

  • Phase 1/2 results showed zoldonrasib combinations delivered high response and disease-control rates with manageable safety in metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, giving Revolution Medicines an early clinical boost in a hard-to-treat cancer.
  • The oral RAS(ON) G12D inhibitor was tested with standard chemotherapy or with daraxonrasib, supporting the company’s strategy of targeting a mutation that currently has no approved targeted therapies.
  • June already marked the start of patient treatment in RASolute 305, a global Phase 3 trial of zoldonrasib plus standard chemotherapy in first-line RAS G12D metastatic pancreatic cancer; the new data also support planned RASolute 309 studies.
  • The update sharpens focus on execution risk as Revolution Medicines pushes large late-stage programs while managing heavy R&D spending, even as the mutation affects tens of thousands of new U.S. cancer patients each year.
