Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a clinical-stage
oncology company developing targeted therapies for RAS-addicted
cancers, today announced encouraging antitumor activity and
safety/tolerability data for RMC-6236, its RAS(ON) multi-selective
inhibitor, in patients with previously treated pancreatic ductal
adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These updated results were presented during
a late-breaking poster session at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on
Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in Barcelona, October
23-25, 2024.
“The maturing data reported today continue to
solidify the compelling progression-free survival and overall
survival for patients with pancreatic cancer treated with RMC-6236,
our oral RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, in the Phase 1 study,”
said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and
chairman of Revolution Medicines. “These results support our
ongoing Phase 3 registrational study, RASolute 302, and our belief
that RMC-6236 monotherapy could potentially become an important
therapeutic option for patients living with advanced or metastatic
pancreatic cancer.”
The RMC-6236-001 Phase 1/1b study is a
multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study
designed to evaluate RMC-6236 as monotherapy in patients with
advanced solid tumors harboring RAS mutations or wild-type RAS. As
of the July 23, 2024 data cutoff date, a total of 127 patients
previously treated for PDAC were treated with
RMC-6236 at doses ranging from 160 mg to 300 mg once
daily (QD).
RMC-6236 appeared to be generally well tolerated
at dose levels ranging from 160 mg to 300 mg QD and showed an
overall safety profile consistent with previously reported results.
No new safety signals were observed. The most common
treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were rash and GI-related
toxicities that were primarily Grade 1 or 2 in severity. The most
common reported Grade ≥3 TRAEs were rash (8%), stomatitis (3%), and
diarrhea (2%). TRAEs leading to dose modification occurred in 35%
of patients with no treatment discontinuations due to TRAE. The
average dose intensity across doses ranging from 160 mg to 300 mg
was 92%.
RMC-6236 demonstrated durable antitumor activity
as evidenced by updated progression-free survival (PFS) and overall
survival (OS) at daily doses ranging from 160 mg to 300 mg, as
described below. Patients with PDAC harboring a KRAS G12X mutation
in the second-line (2L) setting achieved a median PFS of 8.5 months
(95% confidence interval (CI), 5.3 – 11.7 months) and a median OS
of 14.5 months (95% CI, 8.8 – not-estimable (NE)). Patients with
PDAC harboring any RAS mutation in the 2L setting achieved a median
PFS of 7.6 months (95% CI, 5.9 – 11.1 months) and a median OS of
14.5 months (95% CI, 8.8 – NE). Landmark OS for these patients at 6
months was 89% and 91% in patients with PDAC harboring a KRAS G12X
mutation and patients with PDAC harboring any RAS mutation,
respectively. The objective response rate for patients with tumors
harboring KRAS G12X mutations was 29% in the 2L group and 22% in
the third-line and beyond (3L+) group. The disease control rate was
91% and 89% in these patients, respectively.
“Pancreatic cancer remains one of the highest
unmet needs in medicine. It is the most RAS-mutated of all major
cancers with more than 90% of patients having tumors that harbor a
RAS mutation,” said Brian M. Wolpin, M.D., M.P.H., professor of
medicine at Harvard Medical School, and director of the
Gastrointestinal Cancer Center and Robert T. & Judith B. Hale
Chair in Pancreatic Cancer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute,
principal investigator for the RMC-6236-001 study and lead author
of the ENA presentation. “To see the level of clinical activity at
doses with manageable tolerability demonstrated in this Phase 1
study is very exciting, providing much needed hope for patients
with this difficult to treat cancer.”

About Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic
Ductal Adenocarcinoma Pancreatic cancer is one of the most
lethal malignancies, characterized by its typically late-stage
diagnosis, resistance to standard chemotherapy, and high mortality
rate. In the U.S., recent estimates indicate that in 2024,
approximately 60,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic
cancer, and about 50,000 people will die from this aggressive
disease.
The most common form of pancreatic cancer,
pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its variants, accounts
for approximately 92% of all pancreatic cancer cases. Due to the
lack of early symptoms and detection methods, approximately 80% of
patients are diagnosed with PDAC at an advanced or metastatic
stage. It is the most RAS-addicted of all major cancers, and more
than 90% of patients have tumors that harbor RAS mutations.
Metastatic PDAC remains one of the most common causes of
cancer-related deaths in the U.S., with a five-year survival rate
of approximately 3%.
About RMC-6236RMC-6236 is an
oral, direct RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor with the potential
to help address a wide range of cancers driven by oncogenic RAS
mutations. RMC-6236 suppresses RAS signaling by blocking the
interaction of RAS(ON) with its downstream effectors. It does so
across oncogenic RAS mutations G12X, G13X and Q61X, in major
cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC),
non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer (CRC).
