SEACRAFT-2 Pivotal Ph 3 Trial of Naporafenib + Trametinib Initiated in Patients with NRAS-Mutant Melanoma
“NRASm melanoma is an aggressive disease with no approved targeted therapies, underscoring the high unmet need for these patients. We are pleased to announce the initiation of our SEACRAFT-2 pivotal Phase 3 trial, which has a two-stage design. Importantly, Stage 1 is expected to provide a randomized data readout of naporafenib plus trametinib against single agent trametinib in 2025 and will inform the randomized Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for the combination,” said Shannon R. Morris, M.D., Ph.D., Erasca’s chief medical officer. “Stage 2, which incorporates feedback from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European health authorities, is designed for regulatory approval and will compare the combination against physician’s choice of chemotherapy or a single agent MEK inhibitor using dual primary endpoints of progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).”
