August 26, 2026: the U.S. FDA approved daraxonrasib (RASONQUE) for metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the first RAS-targeted therapy approved for pancreatic cancer.All news →
Adults with metastatic PDAC that progressed after first-line chemotherapy
Design
Global, randomised, open-label, multicentre; 1:1 to daraxonrasib 300 mg QD or investigator's-choice chemotherapy
Comparator
One of 4 investigator's-choice standard chemotherapy regimens (e.g. gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel, liposomal irinotecan + 5-FU/LV)
Primary endpoint
Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) — RAS G12-mutant and overall populations
Planned enrollment
500 patients
Primary and key secondary endpoints met, announced April 2026. Overall population median OS 13.2 vs 6.7 months (HR 0.40); median PFS 7.2 vs 3.6 months (HR 0.49); ORR 30% vs 11%. This trial was the basis for the FDA approval in August 2026.
RAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (previously treated)
Population
Locally advanced or metastatic RAS-mutant NSCLC after 1–2 prior lines of therapy
Design
Randomised, open-label, multicentre; daraxonrasib vs docetaxel
Comparator
Docetaxel
Primary endpoint
Overall survival (OS)
Planned enrollment
~420 patients
First patient dosed May 14, 2025. The supporting Phase 1/2 NSCLC data were published in NEJM in September 2026 (ORR 42%, mPFS 8.3 months, mOS 16 months).
Provided the pancreatic cancer data underlying Breakthrough Therapy Designation and the NSCLC data published in NEJM; the foundation of the entire Phase 3 program.
Open-label; RAS(ON) inhibitors including daraxonrasib combined with the PD-1 × VEGF bispecific antibody ivonescimab
