Verastem Oncology Selects Oral KRAS G12D Inhibitor GFH375/VS-7375 as Lead Program in Discovery and Development Collaboration with GenFleet Therapeutics

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.”
