Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a late-stage clinical oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted for review the company’s New Drug Application (NDA) for daraxonrasib, an oral RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor, for previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

“The FDA’s acceptance of the daraxonrasib NDA is an important step in the regulatory review process and brings us closer to the possibility of offering patients a new targeted medicine for previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer,” said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines. “Daraxonrasib is an oral targeted medicine designed to inhibit RAS, the main cause of pancreatic cancer, and the application is supported by unprecedented results from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial. These findings underscore the potential for daraxonrasib to become a new standard of care and to help define a new class of RAS‑targeted medicines for this disease. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the FDA as the agency reviews the application, and with other global regulatory authorities as we advance our efforts to bring daraxonrasib to patients as quickly as possible.”

The NDA is based on results from the global, randomized Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial, evaluating daraxonrasib versus standard of care cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC, with or without an identified tumor RAS mutation. The trial met all primary and key secondary endpoints, including unprecedented improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival. In addition, daraxonrasib exhibited a manageable safety profile and patients treated with daraxonrasib reported significantly delayed deterioration in cancer-related pain, overall global health status and quality of life, compared to those treated with chemotherapy. Results from the RASolute 302 trial were presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting with simultaneous publication in The New England Journal of Medicine.

Daraxonrasib was selected for the FDA Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher pilot program, which is designed to accelerate the review of medicines that address key national health priorities. The FDA previously granted daraxonrasib Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Orphan Drug Designation for the treatment of patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC.

The Company recently announced that the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use has begun a phased review of daraxonrasib, allowing data to be evaluated as they become available before submission of a full marketing authorization application. Daraxonrasib has also received orphan medicine designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, and high-priority status under EMA’s Cancer Medicines Pathfinder project based on its potential to address a significant unmet need.

About Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, characterized by its typically late-stage diagnosis, resistance to standard chemotherapy, and high mortality rate. In the U.S., recent estimates indicate that annually approximately 60,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and about 50,000 people will die from this aggressive disease. Due to the lack of early symptoms and detection methods, most patients are diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) at an advanced or metastatic stage. Metastatic PDAC remains one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., with a five-year survival rate of approximately 3%.
