RASolute 302: Phase 3 trial in previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma

Design: a global, randomised, open-label, multicentre Phase 3 trial (NCT06625320) that enrolled 500 patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who had progressed after one line of chemotherapy at 59 sites across North America, Europe and Asia. Patients were randomised 1:1 to daraxonrasib 300 mg orally once daily or one of four investigator's-choice standard intravenous chemotherapy regimens (most commonly gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, and liposomal irinotecan plus 5-FU/leucovorin). The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in the RAS G12-mutant population and in the overall population.

Positive topline results were announced on April 13, 2026. The full data were presented by Prof. Brian M. Wolpin of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at the ASCO Annual Meeting Plenary Session (LBA5) on May 31, 2026, with simultaneous publication in the New England Journal of Medicine.

One-year survival rate53.3%18.7%
Median progression-free survival7.3 months3.5 monthsHR 0.45
6-month progression-free rate58.7%31.7%

Patient-reported outcomes (quality of life)

  • Time to pain deterioration: 9.2 vs 3.8 months (HR 0.51, p < 0.0001)
  • Time to deterioration in global health status / quality of life: 5.7 vs 2.6 months (HR 0.60, p = 0.0002)

Safety

  • Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events: 43.6% (daraxonrasib) vs 57.5% (chemotherapy)
  • Dose reductions due to adverse events: 36.1% vs 57.5%
  • Discontinuation due to adverse events: 1.2% vs 11.2%
  • The adverse events most often leading to dose reduction were rash (17.4%) and stomatitis (6.6%)
Conclusion: compared with standard chemotherapy, daraxonrasib significantly prolonged overall and progression-free survival, increased the response rate and delayed deterioration in pain and quality of life in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer, with fewer serious adverse events and discontinuations. It is the first RAS-targeted Phase 3 trial in pancreatic cancer with a positive overall survival result.

Phase 1/2 study: RMC-6236-001 (NCT05379985)

RMC-6236-001 is the first-in-human study of daraxonrasib, enrolling patients with a range of advanced RAS-mutant solid tumors to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, the recommended dose and preliminary efficacy. Data from the pancreatic cancer cohort, presented at ESMO, ASCO and other congresses during 2024–2025, showed progression-free and overall survival signals well above historical controls. They formed the basis of the FDA's Breakthrough Therapy Designation in June 2025 and directly supported the launch of RASolute 302.

Non-small cell lung cancer cohort (NEJM, September 2026)

MeasureResult (160–220 mg dose group, n = 38)
Objective response rate42%
Median duration of response11.5 months
Median progression-free survival8.3 months
Median overall survival16 months
Grade ≥3 adverse events51%
Most common adverse eventsRash 90% (grade ≥3: 8%), diarrhoea 73%, nausea 62%, vomiting 54%
Dose modification / discontinuation71% / 10%

These data supported the Phase 3 RASolve 301 trial (daraxonrasib vs docetaxel in previously treated RAS-mutant NSCLC), which dosed its first patient in May 2025.
