Business Segments and Product Lines:
- Phase 1/2 data presented at the 2026 ESMO Congress showed an 82% objective response rate (ORR) and 88% nine-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate for vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib in patients with second- or third-line MTAP-deleted, RAS-mutant pancreatic cancer; median PFS was not reached.
- The vopimetostat plus daraxonrasib combination demonstrated a generally well-tolerated safety profile at the go-forward dose of vopimetostat 200 mg/daraxonrasib 100 mg QD.
- Enrollment has initiated for the ERASCA study, a Phase 1/2 trial of vopimetostat in combination with pan-RAS molecular glue ERAS-0015 in patients with MTAP-deleted PDAC and MTAP-deleted/RAS-mutant NSCLC.
- The company announced a strategic reprioritization in October 2026 to focus research and development activities on PRMT5-targeted therapies.
