FDA clears IND application for ERAS-4001 for the treatment of patients with KRAS-mutant (KRASm) solid tumors
“Our RAS-targeting franchise continues to meaningfully advance, and now with clearance of our IND for ERAS-4001, we are excited to advance both ERAS-4001 and ERAS-0015 into the clinic ahead of our guidance,” said Jonathan E. Lim, M.D., Erasca’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder. “ERAS-4001 targets multiple KRAS mutations as well as wildtype KRAS but spares HRAS and NRAS, potentially enabling a better therapeutic window relative to pan-RAS inhibitors. We believe these attributes offer a differentiated approach that can overcome treatment resistance to pan-RAS and mutant-selective KRAS inhibitors and address unmet needs for the 2.2 million people diagnosed annually worldwide with KRASm tumors. We look forward to continued efficient execution across our RAS-targeting programs and anticipate disclosing initial monotherapy data in 2026.”
