    Trial design

    RASolute 302 was a phase 3, international, open-label, randomized trial conducted at 59 sites in six countries. Enrollment ran from October 16, 2024 to November 7, 2025. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1. Crossover to the other group was not permitted. An independent data monitoring committee oversaw safety.

    Treatment arms

    Daraxonrasib (n=248)
    300 mg orally once daily. An oral RAS(ON) multiselective tri-complex inhibitor of the GTP-bound state of mutant and wild-type RAS. Treatment continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.
    Investigator’s choice chemotherapy (n=252)
    One of four regimens, given per local prescribing practice: gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel; modified FOLFIRINOX; FOLFOX; or liposomal irinotecan plus fluorouracil and leucovorin.

    Key eligibility

    • Age: at least 18 years
    • Disease: histologically or cytologically confirmed mPDAC with measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
    • Prior therapy: progression after one prior line of fluoropyrimidine- or gemcitabine-based therapy for metastatic disease (or progression less than 6 months after neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy)
    • Performance status: ECOG 0 or 1
    • RAS status: documented tumor RAS mutational status by local testing (KRAS, NRAS, or HRAS at codon 12, 13, or 61, or no RAS mutation identified)
    • Key exclusions: known CNS metastases; prior RAS-targeted therapy

    Stratification factors

    • ECOG performance status (0 vs 1)
    • Metastatic disease at initial diagnosis (yes vs no)
    • Liver metastases at baseline (yes vs no)
    • Tumor RAS mutational status (RAS G12D/V vs other RAS G12 vs RAS G13 or Q61 or no RAS mutation identified)

    Endpoints

    Dual primary

    Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST v1.1, in the RAS G12 population.

    Key secondary

    OS and PFS in the overall population; objective response rate (ORR) in the RAS G12 and overall populations; patient-reported time to deterioration (TTD) in pain and in global health status/quality of life, in both populations.

    Additional secondary

    Time to response and safety. Adverse events graded per NCI CTCAE v5.0.

    The overall population included patients with RAS G12, G13, or Q61 mutations or with no RAS mutation identified. The RAS G12 population (459 patients, 91.8%) comprised those with RAS G12 mutations.

    Analysis timing Data reported are from the first interim OS analysis (IA1), which was also the final PFS analysis, performed after enrollment completion and at least 166 deaths in the RAS G12 population. Data cutoff: February 10, 2026. Median follow-up: 8.5 months (range 3.2 to 15.9).

ORR denominators are patients with measurable disease at baseline per BICR (RAS G12: daraxonrasib 237, chemotherapy 221; overall: 248 and 252). Duration of response and tumor-shrinkage (waterfall) data were not reported in the available sources.

    Overall survival subgroups (overall population)
