Key Takeaways

  • RASolute 309 randomly assigns approximately 400 treatment-naive patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic RAS G12D PDAC to zoldonrasib plus daraxonrasib or gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, with dual primary end points of PFS and OS.
  • Daraxonrasib is an oral, RAS(ON) multiselective, noncovalent tricomplex inhibitor with accelerated approval after at least 1 prior therapy; serious AEs occurred in 30%, including diarrhea, pyrexia, sepsis, fatigue, and hemorrhage.

The RASolute 309 trial is investigating frontline daraxonrasib plus the RAS G12D inhibitor zoldonrasib vs chemotherapy in advanced PDAC.

Patients have begun receiving treatment in the phase 3 RASolute 309 trial (NCT07805954), which is evaluating daraxonrasib (Rasonque) plus zoldonrasib as first-line treatment for adults with metastatic RAS G12D–mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).1

RASolute 309 is a global, randomized, open-label trial comparing daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multiselective inhibitor, plus zoldonrasib, an investigational RAS(ON) G12D–selective inhibitor, with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP) in adults with metastatic RAS G12D PDAC.

“RAS G12D is the most common RAS variant in PDAC,” Alan Sandler, MD, chief development officer of Revolution Medicines, said in a news release. “In preclinical studies, the combination of RAS(ON) multiselective and G12D-selective inhibitors achieved deeper and more sustained suppression of RAS signaling than either agent alone, accompanied by greater tumor control. Likewise, initial clinical data showed that [daraxonrasib] plus zoldonrasib delivered compelling antitumor activity in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC, with a manageable safety and tolerability profile.”

Background on Daraxonrasib and Zoldonrasib

Daraxonrasib is an oral, RAS(ON) multiselective, noncovalent tricomplex inhibitor that received accelerated FDA approval for adults with metastatic PDAC who have received at least 1 prior systemic therapy or who are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy based on the phase 3 RASolute 302 trial (NCT06625320). The agent is being investigated through a global phase 3 registrational program spanning PDAC and metastatic RAS-mutant non–small cell lung cancer and received breakthrough designation for treatment-naive PDAC based on findings from the phase 1/2 RMC-GI-102 trial (NCT06445062).

Zoldonrasib is an investigational, oral, RAS(ON) G12D–selective, covalent tricomplex inhibitor that binds cyclophilin A, forming a binary complex that binds to and inhibits the active, oncogenic RAS(ON) G12D mutation, according to the news release. RAS G12D is the most prevalent RAS mutation overall, accounting for 29% of all RAS-driven cancers, and an estimated 61,000 patients in the US are diagnosed with RAS G12D–mutant cancers annually across tumor types; no targeted therapy is currently approved for this broader population.1,2 Zoldonrasib is being evaluated as monotherapy and in combination with daraxonrasib and standard-of-care regimens in lung and gastrointestinal cancers.

Supporting Evidence for the Combination and Phase 3 Trial Design

In its approved PDAC indication, serious adverse events occurred in 30% of patients treated with daraxonrasib, with those occurring in at least 2% of patients including diarrhea (3.7%), pyrexia (3.3%), sepsis (2.9%), fatigue (2.1%), and hemorrhage (2.1%). The most common adverse events were rash, diarrhea, stomatitis, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, abdominal pain, edema, decreased appetite, and hemorrhage.3

In phase 1/2 data from the RMC-9805-001 trial (NCT06040541) in 60 patients with second-line or third-line and beyond RAS G12D–mutated PDAC, zoldonrasib plus daraxonrasib demonstrated a manageable safety profile consistent with that of single-agent daraxonrasib; grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were reported in 35%. The overall response rate (ORR) was 50% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 97% in the second-line cohort; ORR and DCR were 47% and 90%, respectively, in the third-line and beyond cohort.4 The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 9.6 months in the second line and 7.6 months in the third line and beyond; the median overall survival (OS) was not estimable in the second-line cohort and was 10.5 months in the third-line and beyond cohort.

The phase 3 trial will randomly assign an estimated 400 patients with documented RAS G12D mutations who had no previous treatment in the locally advanced unresectable or metastatic settings to receive zoldonrasib plus daraxonrasib or GnP.5 It has dual primary end points of PFS and OS, with key secondary end points including PFS, ORR, duration of response, safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and patient-reported outcomes.

“RASolute 309 is the first phase 3 study evaluating a RAS[ON] inhibitor doublet approach, and it marks an important milestone in our efforts to advance a range of potential treatment options for patients with RAS-driven cancers across tumor types and treatment settings,” Sandler said in the news release.1
