FDA Approves RASONQUE™ (daraxonrasib) for Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
“The FDA approval of RASONQUE is a monumental step forward for patients with pancreatic cancer and for the oncology field. For the first time, patients have an approved targeted medicine designed to directly inhibit the main cause of pancreatic cancer, RAS, which has been one of the most intractable disease targets since its discovery decades ago. The unprecedented results of the global Phase 3 trial position RASONQUE to become the new standard of care for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer under an approved label that supports real-world clinical decision-making. This approval further validates our bold RAS(ON) inhibitor strategy that includes multi-selective and mutant-selective approaches targeting a major driver of pancreatic cancer and multiple other cancers. We continue to engage with global regulatory authorities with the goal of expanding and accelerating the reach of RASONQUE,” said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines.
