FDA clears IND application for VS-7375, Enabling Ph 1/2a Trial in Advanced Solid Tumors
“We’re excited to advance the clinical program for VS-7375 in the U.S. and build on the initial dose escalation work conducted by GenFleet in China that demonstrated oral bioavailability and no dose-limiting toxicities across six dose levels, with partial responses achieved among multiple patients with both pancreatic and advanced lung cancers,” said Dan Paterson, president and chief executive officer of Verastem Oncology. “We believe there remains a significant opportunity to improve on the efficacy seen to date with other KRAS G12D-selective agents. VS-7375’s dual inhibition of both the ON/OFF states has the potential to drive deep and durable cancer responses and allow for better combinability with other agents. We look forward to our partner GenFleet’s oral presentation that will include updated safety and efficacy data from the Phase 1 study at the ASCO annual meeting.”
