Revolution Medicines Presents Overall Survival Data for RASONQUE™ (daraxonrasib) Across Subgroups in Previously Treated Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer at ESMO 2026
Exploratory findings extended across tumor profiles and prior treatment settings, including tumors with no identified RAS mutation.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Revolution Medicines (Nasdaq: RVMD) presented exploratory Phase 3 analyses showing RASONQUE survival benefits across evaluated subgroups in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer. The RASolute 302 findings presented at ESMO 2026 covered tumor RAS profiles, chemotherapy comparators and prior treatment settings, including patients with no identified tumor RAS mutation.
Previously reported median overall survival was 13.2 months with RASONQUE versus 6.7 months with chemotherapy. Subgroup hazard ratios, which compare death rates between treatments, ranged from 0.32 to 0.61 across evaluated RAS profiles; several confidence intervals included 1, leaving uncertainty about those subgroup effects. RASONQUE is approved in the United States. The European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use issued a positive opinion, but the drug remains investigational outside the United States.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

- Expanding on the unprecedented final results previously reported from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial, the exploratory subgroup analyses showed RASONQUE consistently provided an overall survival benefit compared with chemotherapy across key subgroups, including patients with no identified tumor RAS mutation
- Findings presented as late-breaking abstract during Proffered Paper session
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a global, commercial-stage oncology company dedicated to discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced that exploratory subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial were presented as a late-breaking abstract at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026 in Madrid, Spain. The analyses showed that RASONQUE (daraxonrasib) consistently provided an overall survival (OS) benefit compared with chemotherapy across all evaluated RAS genotype subgroups among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), including those with no identified tumor RAS mutation. The OS benefit with RASONQUE was also maintained across preselected standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens and prior treatment settings, including early metastatic recurrence following perioperative therapy.
“For people living with metastatic pancreatic cancer, progression after initial treatment can be devastating, with limited options and a poor prognosis,” said Zev A. Wainberg, M.D., Professor of Medicine at UCLA and co-director of the UCLA GI Oncology Program, RASolute 302 investigator and presenter of the data at ESMO. “The analysis presented at ESMO reinforces the unprecedented and statistically significant survival benefit of daraxonrasib observed in the overall study population of the RASolute 302 trial. The overall survival benefit was seen consistently across all evaluated tumor RAS profiles, underscoring the potential of daraxonrasib to benefit the broad population of patients with this devastating disease.”
In the RASolute 302 trial, patients were randomized to receive either RASONQUE 300 mg once daily (n=248) or investigator’s choice of standard chemotherapy (n=252). These exploratory subgroup analyses were derived from the prespecified primary analysis of RASolute 302, conducted at the February 10, 2026 data cutoff, which had a median follow-up of 8.5 months. In the previously reported primary analysis, median OS was 13.2 months with RASONQUE versus 6.7 months with chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.40;
The analyses also showed a consistent OS benefit with RASONQUE across preselected SOC chemotherapy regimens, including gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP; HR 0.45;
The OS improvement was also seen among patients treated with RASONQUE compared with chemotherapy across prior treatment settings, including metastatic disease diagnosed less than six months after the last dose of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy (HR 0.36;
“These exploratory analyses across key subgroups from RASolute 302 reinforce RASONQUE as a potential new standard of care for eligible adults with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma,” said Alan Sandler, M.D., chief development officer of Revolution Medicines. “They also support our broader clinical development program, which is evaluating targeted approaches across RAS variants and treatment settings with the goal of changing the treatment paradigm in RAS-addicted cancers where there is a significant unmet medical need. With RASONQUE approved in the United States, the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recent positive opinion and regulatory reviews underway in other countries, we remain committed to expanding access to RASONQUE for eligible patients globally.”
The presentation (LBA82), titled “Daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor vs chemotherapy in previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC): Additional subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 study,” was delivered by Dr. Wainberg during the Proffered Paper 1: Gastrointestinal Tumour, Upper Digestive session on October 23, 2026, at the ESMO Congress in Madrid, Spain. The primary analysis from RASolute 302 was presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting with simultaneous publication in The New England Journal of Medicine.
About Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, or PDAC, is the most common form of pancreatic cancer and among the most challenging malignancies. RAS, a key growth control switch in human cells, is the main driver of pancreatic cancer, which is characterized by excessive RAS signaling. Each year, approximately 500,000 people globally are diagnosed with PDAC and it is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.1,2
Because early-stage pancreatic cancer often causes few or no symptoms, approximately
About the RASolute 302 Clinical Trial
RASolute 302 (NCT06625320) was a global, randomized Phase 3 registrational clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RASONQUE as a monotherapy in patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the trial, patients were randomized to receive either an oral dose of 300 mg RASONQUE once daily or investigator’s choice of four different cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens, which represented standard of care across the globe. The trial enrolled patients with metastatic PDAC with RAS G12 mutations (such as G12D, G12V, and G12R), RAS G13 or Q61 mutations, as well as patients with no identified tumor RAS mutations.
The primary endpoints of the RASolute 302 trial were progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed by a Blinded Independent Central Review according to RECIST 1.1, and overall survival (OS) in patients with tumors harboring RAS G12 mutations. Secondary endpoints included PFS and OS in all enrolled patients (the intent-to-treat population) encompassing patients with and without identified tumor RAS mutations, as well as objective response rate, duration of response, and patient-reported quality of life.
About RASONQUE™ (daraxonrasib)
RASONQUE (daraxonrasib) is an oral, RAS(ON) multi-selective, noncovalent, tri-complex inhibitor (TCI), approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or who are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.5 RASONQUE is being investigated through a global Phase 3 registrational program in patients with PDAC and metastatic RAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Outside the U.S., RASONQUE is an investigational agent that has not been approved by any regulatory authority.
U.S. INDICATION
RASONQUE is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or who are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.
