Revolution Medicines Announces Publication In Cancer Discovery Demonstrating Robust Anti-Tumor Activity Of RAS(ON) Inhibitors In Preclinical Models Of Refractory KRAS-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Original research published in Cancer Discovery reveals a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor exhibited robust anti-tumor activity alone or in combination with a RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitor in preclinical models of difficult-to-treat KRAS-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

 

Results also highlight that, in contrast to mutant-selective RAS inhibition, broad-spectrum, reversible RAS-GTP inhibition with a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor alone drove durable anti-tumor activity in these models with infrequent resistance occurrence and the potential for emergence of rare persister, slow cycling cells

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVMD), a clinical-stage oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced the publication of a peer-reviewed research paper in Cancer Discovery. The scientific paper demonstrates that the RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor RMC-7977 (a preclinical tool compound representative of the investigational drug candidate RMC-6236) exhibited robust and durable anti-tumor activity in multiple preclinical models of KRAS-mutated NSCLC. The data show this activity was further enhanced in the doublet combination with a RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitor RMC-4998 (a preclinical tool compound representative of the investigational drug RMC-6291), in preclinical models of KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. These findings are the result of original, collaborative research between scientists at Revolution Medicines and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
