“Building on the Breakthrough Therapy designation for the combination of avutometinib with defactinib in recurrent LGSOC and the positive results from the interim analysis of Part A of the RAMP 201 trial, we are working rapidly to bring forward the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved therapy for these patients who deserve better options,” said Brian Stuglik, CEO of Verastem Oncology. “Further, we plan to efficiently advance our development program and provide early data read-outs with avutometinib combinations across other RAS pathway-driven cancers with high unmet need, including combinations in KRAS G12C mutant NSCLC and frontline metastatic pancreatic cancer. With the recently announced financing, we have strengthened our balance sheet and cash runway to deliver on these key initiatives.”
