Registration-Enabling Plans
Three potentially registration-enabling trials are planned for ERAS-0015: a Phase 3 in first-line PDAC, a Phase 3 in RAS-mutant NSCLC, and a trial in second-line+ NSCLC, with initiations expected from H1 2027 to H1 2028.

Upcoming Catalysts

Analysis · ERAS · Life Sciences
Erasca's Q2 update pairs financial results with fresh clinical data for its lead asset, ERAS-0015, which delivered a 57% unconfirmed response rate in pancreatic cancer and supports three registration-enabling trials. The $384 million cash position (pre-July offering) and a $632 million July raise provide the runway needed to execute these pivotal studies. With the stock under pressure from a patent dispute and class action lawsuit, this clinical and financial update serves as a key sentiment check.
