RASolute 302 in @NEJM (publ. along with LBA5, Plenary Session): daraxonrasib vs chemo in 2L met. Pancreatic cancer. mOS 13.2 vs 6.6 mo, HR 0.40. Patients stayed on drug 3x longer than chemo, lower toxicity. Historic!!!! #ASCO26
The #1 abstract on my radar at #ASCO26 was RASolute 302 (LBA5). RASolute 302 is a phase 3, international, open-label, randomized trial ofdaraxonrasib 300 mg daily vs investigator's choice chemo as 2nd line Rx in pts w/ metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).
#ASCO26: Kian-Huat Lim, MD, PhD, a leader of Siteman’s pancreatic SPORE, is proud to have been a clinical site for the RASolute 302 study that underlies promising pancreatic cancer findings, also discussed at this year’s @ASCO.
