SAN DIEGO, Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Erasca, Inc. (Nasdaq: ERAS), a clinical-stage precision oncology company singularly focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing therapies for patients with RAS/MAPK pathway-driven cancers, today announced four poster presentations at the 34th EORTC-NCI-AACR (ENA) Symposium on molecular targets and cancer therapeutics taking place October 26-28 in Barcelona, Spain.
“Our pipeline continues to advance, and we are excited to share clinical data from our ERAS-007 ERK and ERAS-601ERAS-601 SHP2 programs showing well-behaved pharmacokinetic characteristics, favorable safety and tolerability profiles, and monotherapy efficacy activity that support the potential of both agents to be backbone therapies for the combination treatment of RAS/MAPK pathway-driven solid tumors. We look forward to reporting combination data in the first half of 2023 with ERAS-007 in gastrointestinal cancers and with ERAS-601 in triple wildtype colorectal cancer,” said Jonathan E. Lim, M.D., Erasca’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder. “Preclinical data characterizing our lead EGFR program further bolster the CNS penetration aspects and broad therapeutic potential of ERAS-801. Additionally, our RAS franchise continues to progress, and we are pleased to share new preclinical data showcasing promising compounds from our ERAS-4 program targeting the KRAS G12D oncogenic mutation.”
Poster Presentation Details
Abstract 224: Preliminary results from HERKULES-1: A Phase 1b/2, Open-label, Multi-center Study of ERAS-007, an Oral ERK1/2 InhibitorERK1/2 Inhibitor, in Patients with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors
Presenter: Judy Wang, M.D., Florida CancerCancer Specialists, Sarah Cannon Research Institute
Inhibiting ERK, the most distal node of the RAS/MAPK pathway, has the potential to shut down oncogenic signaling. Preliminary HERKULES-1 Phase 1b data evaluating ERAS-007, an oral ERK1/2 inhibitorERK1/2 inhibitor with prolonged target residence time and efficacy across broad mutational subtypes, demonstrated encouraging single agent activity and favorable safety and tolerability in patients with metastatic solid tumors refractory to standard therapies (NCT04866134).
Well-behaved pharmacokinetic characteristics enable intermittent BID-QW dosing (i.e., twice daily on a single day each week), offering a novel dosing regimen for combination development
Monitorable and manageable adverse event (AE) profile with mostly grade 1 and 2 treatment-related AEs and no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Unconfirmed partial response in a patient with KRAS G12V mutated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)KRAS G12V mutated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) was observed following single agent treatment
Initial Phase 1b combination data from HERKULES-2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are expected in 2023 and from HERKULES-3 in gastrointestinal malignances are expected in the first half of 2023
Abstract 95: Preliminary results from FLAGSHP-1: A Phase 1 dose escalation study of ERAS-601, a potent SHP2 inhibitorSHP2 inhibitor, in patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic solid tumors
Presenter: Meredith McKean M.D., M.P.H., Sarah Cannon Research Institute
Session/Code: New Drugs/PP22
Inhibition of SHP2, a convergent RTK signaling node governing cellular growth and survival, has the potential to suppress oncogenic signaling and limit the development of therapeutic resistance as part of a combination regimen. Preliminary Phase 1 data from the ongoing FLAGSHP-1 trial in advanced solid tumors demonstrated promising single agent safety and tolerability and supported the potential of ERAS-601, a potent and selective SHP2 inhibitorSHP2 inhibitor, to enhance efficacy in combination with other targeted therapies (NCT04670679).
Well-behaved pharmacokinetic properties enable both twice daily (BID) and daily (QD) dosing; maximum tolerated doses for BID and QD dosing identified
Treatment-related AEs were reversible, manageable, and consistent with the known mechanism of action for the SHP2 inhibitorSHP2 inhibitor class
Confirmed partial response in a patient with a BRAF class III mutation was observed following single agent treatment
Preliminary clinical data support continued development in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. Initial Phase 1b data from FLAGSHP-1 in combination with cetuximab in patients with triple wildtype (KRAS/NRAS/BRAF wildtype) CRC are expected in the first half of 2023. Currently also evaluating ERAS-601 + sotorasib in patients with NSCLC in HERKULES-2 study
Abstract 90: The CNS-penetrant EGFR inhibitorEGFR inhibitor, ERAS-801, shows promising nonclinical activity in a CNS metastases model of EGFR mutant NSCLC
Presenter: David Nathanson, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles
Session/Code: New Drugs/PP22
High central nervous system (CNS) penetration and comprehensive inhibition of both mutated and wildtype forms are limiting therapeutic factors of approved EGFR inhibitorsEGFR inhibitors. ERAS-801 is an oral, highly selective EGFR inhibitorEGFR inhibitor with CNS penetration that is four times higher than approved EGFR inhibitorsEGFR inhibitors and comprehensive inhibition against oncogenic EGFRvIII alterations and wildtype.
Preclinical data characterizing the activity of ERAS-801 in a CNS metastases model of EGFR mutant NSCLC support superior anti-tumor activity in these lesions with ERAS-801 relative to osimertinib, the current standard of care treatment for patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC
ERAS-801 is currently being evaluated in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme in the Phase 1 THUNDERBBOLT-1 trial (NCT05222802)
Abstract 54: Non-clinical identification and characterization of KRAS G12D inhibitorsKRAS G12D inhibitors
Presenter: Alexei Brooun, Ph.D., Erasca, Inc.
Potent and selective KRAS G12D inhibitorsKRAS G12D inhibitors have been identified with robust dose-dependent tumor growth inhibition and regression activity in a PDAC cell line-derived xenograft (CDX) model
Lead optimization is ongoing with the aim of identifying a development candidate to advance into clinical studies
