companies under coverage.
■ Practice-Changing and Notable Datasets: It goes without saying at this point
that the ph 3 data presentation of the RASolute 302 trial for daraxonrasib in
mPDAC was well-received at ASCO, making a clear statement that the pan-Ras
class of therapies has arrived. The phase 3 Proteus trial was also a key datasetINDUSTRY from the conference, evaluating apalutamide plus hormone therapy in high-risk
localized or advanced prostate cancer before and after surgery, with the regimen
showing a 20% reduced risk of metastasis or death and increasing the time interval
before next therapy to more than six years. Lastly, the IKZF1/3 degrader class of
therapies received a bump following positive data from the SUCCESSOR-2 trialREPORT
of BMY's (Not Rated) CELMoD mezigdomide plus carfilzomib and dexamethasone
vs. carfilzomib and dexamethasone in r/r MM. C4 Therapeutics (CCCC, Not Rated)
was a beneficiary of the data, with positive readthrough to their IKZF1/3 degrader
cemsidomide.
■ Where Does the RAS Landscape Go From Here? The RASolute 302 data are clearly
a seminal moment in treatment of PDAC, and we've already observed biotech and
pharma move ahead with various combination strategies (ex. PRMT5 inhibitors)
with pan-Ras agents to unlock further efficacy. We anticipate such approaches will
