Erasca Plans To Deprioritize ERAS-007, ERAS-801 Programs; To Discontinue Its Existing Internal ERAS-4 pan-KRAS Program
The Company will deprioritize the ERAS-007 program as the Company believes the clinical efficacy data from the HERKULES-3 clinical trial evaluating ERAS-007 in combination with encorafenib and cetuximab (“EC”) in patients with EC-naïve BRAFm colorectal cancer do not support continued evaluation.
The Company will also deprioritize its ERAS-801 program and explore further advancement of the program via select investigator-sponsored trials. Finally, the Company will discontinue its existing internal ERAS-4 pan-KRAS program, although certain of the existing ERAS-4 molecules may serve as potential backup compounds for ERAS-4001.
