Verastem Oncology Selects Oral KRAS G12D Inhibitor GFH375/VS-7375 as Lead Program in Discovery and Development Collaboration with GenFleet Therapeutics
“We are pleased to announce this oral KRAS G12D inhibitor with a potential best-in-class profile as the lead program from our collaboration with GenFleet supporting our mission to bring needed therapies to patients with RAS pathway-driven cancers,” said Dan Paterson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Verastem Oncology. “Although there has been significant progress in therapeutics targeting KRAS mutations, there are currently no available therapies approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration targeting KRAS G12D, the most prevalent KRAS mutation across human cancers. The GLP toxicology studies are complete and we look forward to GenFleet’s anticipated filing of the IND for this KRAS G12D inhibitor in the first half of 2024.”
