Summary

Verastem reported initial Phase 1/2 data for VS-7375, its KRAS G12D inhibitor, showing a 50% confirmed ORR in second-line PDAC at 900 mg and 41% in 2L+ PDAC (n=22), with two complete responses in 2L+ disease, one confirmed. The drug also showed 43% ORR in 2L+ NSCLC at 600 mg (n=23) and 33% ORR in 3L+ mCRC with anti-EGFR. A first-line PDAC Phase 3 is planned to open by year-end 2026. This is the first efficacy readout for VS-7375 and positions it as a potential lead asset across multiple KRAS G12D tumors. The data follows the company's $250M offering priced earlier today, providing capital to advance the program. The company also disclosed preliminary Q3 net product revenue of $23.9M-$24.1M and cash of $172.8M, and a CEO transition to Michael Bailey effective Jan 1, 2027. Watch for durability of responses and the Phase 3 start timing.

    • Efficacy in PDAC — VS-7375 showed 36% ORR in third- and fourth-line PDAC, six-month progression-free survival of 67% and six-month overall survival of 80% in 2L+ PDAC. All 12 evaluable PDAC patients with detectable KRAS G12D ctDNA achieved at least 50% reduction, and seven achieved complete clearance of detectable KRAS G12D circulating tumor DNA.
    • Dose Response — 900 mg dose produced deeper tumor reductions and higher response rates than 600 mg dose.
    • Phase 3 Design — Phase 3 will compare two VS-7375 combination regimens against standard-of-care chemotherapy in first-line mPDAC: VS-7375 with anti-EGFR therapy and VS-7375 with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. Company aligned with FDA on Phase 3 trial design.
    • Safety — VS-7375 maintained manageable safety profile across monotherapy and combination regimens at 600 mg and 900 mg.
