Abstract Background: mPDAC is a challenging, RAS-driven disease with 5-y survival of ∼3%. Standard 1L chemotherapy has substantial toxicity and limited benefit (ORR: 23-43%; PFS at 6 mo: 40%-50%; mOS: 8. 5-11. 7 months). Oncogenic RAS mutations occur in 90% of cases. Daraxonrasib is a potent, oral, RAS (ON) multi-selective inhibitor targeting GTP-bound mutant (incl. G12, G13, and Q61 mutations) and WT RAS. In a phase 1/2 study (NCT05379985), second-line daraxonrasib demonstrated manageable safety and encouraging early efficacy in pts with RAS-mutant mPDAC. Here, we present the safety and efficacy of daraxonrasib as 1L therapy for pts with RAS-mutant mPDAC (NCT05379985). Methods: Pts with RAS-mutant mPDAC received 1L daraxonrasib 300 mg QD and were evaluated for safety, tolerability, antitumor activity, and ctDNA response per treated and evaluable pts. Results: As of Dec 1, 2025 (median follow-up: 13. 7 mo), 40 pts received daraxonrasib. All-grade TRAEsa (≥20%) were rash (88%), diarrhea (63%), stomatitis/mucositis (63%), nausea (53%), vomiting (50%), fatigue (35%), and paronychia (20%). Grade ≥3 TRAEs (≥10%) were rash, diarrhea, and stomatitis/mucositis (10% each). No Grade 4/5 TRAEs occurred. TRAEs led to dose modifications in 70% of pts and discontinuation in 1 (3%) pt. The mean relative dose intensity was 84%. Antitumor and ctDNA responses to daraxonrasib treatment are shown in the table. Conclusions: Daraxonrasib monotherapy in 1L mPDAC showed manageable safety, consistent with prior studies, and compelling preliminary efficacy supporting the initiation of a global 3-arm phase 3 study (RASolute 303) of daraxonrasib with or without chemotherapy in 1L mPDAC.
