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).”

“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
