ORIC Pharmaceuticals Announces Multiple Clinical Collaborations for Evaluating ORIC-944 + AR Inhibitors for the Treatment of Prostate Cancer
“We are pleased to enter into these clinical collaborations to investigate the broader potential of ORIC-944 in combination with AR inhibitors, a combination approach that we believe is particularly promising based on our preclinical findings as well as emerging clinical data,” said Jacob M. Chacko, M.D., president and chief executive officer. “As reported at the AACR Annual Meeting earlier this year, the combination of ORIC-944 and AR inhibitors demonstrated synergy in multiple prostate cancer models with a unique mechanism of reprogramming prostate cancer to revert to an AR-dependent state. Together with the emerging clinical profile of ORIC-944, which has already demonstrated superior clinical half-life, robust target engagement and favorable safety as a monotherapy, the combination of ORIC-944 with an AR inhibitor has the potential to become a novel treatment paradigm for patients with prostate cancer.”

“In the first reported data from the clinical combinations of our PRMT5 inhibitor vopimetostat and RAS(ON) inhibitors, we saw extremely encouraging early results, with 92% of patients with PDAC in the vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib arm achieving an objective response, supporting the preclinical data showing synergistic activity of PRMT5 + RAS
“Non-small cell lung cancer is the most prevalent lung disease with more than 8,000 patients in the U.S. diagnosed each year with KRAS G12D-mutations. Receiving Fast Track designation for VS-7375 reinforces both the significant unmet need and the potential of VS-7375 to improve outcomes for patients with KRAS G12D-mutated lung
“KRAS has notoriously been considered an undruggable target and patients with KRAS-driven cancers continue to face limited treatment options with survival measured in months, not years,” said John Reed, M.D., Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Innovative Medicine, Research & Development, Johnson & Johnson. “We believe the proprietary Firelink™ platform will overcome
