1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Daraxonrasib is an orally bioavailable RAS(ON) multi-selective tri-complex inhibitor of the oncogenic mutant and wild-type variants of N, H and KRAS. We previously reported encouraging efficacy in a phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating daraxonrasib monotherapy at clinically active dose levels in patients with previously treated, RAS mutant metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), providing the basis for confirmatory evaluation in the randomized phase 3 RASolute 302 clinical trial. Here we report mechanisms of acquired resistance to daraxonrasib monotherapy observed through targeted sequencing of over 800 genes in paired pretreatment and end of treatment circulating tumor DNA samples from 44 patients in the phase 1/2 clinical trial. Treatment-emergent genomic alterations in the RAS signaling pathway were observed in more than half (26 of 44; 59%) of these patients, including, most notably, mutant KRAS amplifications in one-third (16 of 44; 36%), as well as alterations in receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) (4 of 44; 9%), MAPK (11 of 44; 25%) and PI3K (4 of 44; 9%) pathways. Notably, no acquired secondary KRAS mutations were observed, distinct from resistance profiles of mutant-selective KRAS G12C(OFF) inhibitors. To corroborate these clinical findings, we found, or mechanistically established, concordant mechanisms of daraxonrasib resistance in human and murine preclinical models of PDAC, including mutant KRAS and MYC amplification and RTK upregulation, with these alterations guiding various combination therapy concepts. Notably, daraxonrasib combined with agents targeting DNA damage response, RTKs or the mutant-selective RAS(ON) G12D inhibitor zoldonrasib averted resistance in preclinical models. Collectively, these results show that most daraxonrasib genomic resistance mechanisms drive reactivation of RAS pathway signaling and guide potential combination strategies in PDAC for further investigation.
