$ 8.31 Updated Data from RAMP 205 Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial in Frontline Metastatic PDAC
As of April 25, 2025, 60 patients (12 per cohort) had been treated in one of five dose regimens with the combination of avutometinib and defactinib with gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in frontline metastatic PDAC. In the dose level 1 cohort, 12 patients received 2.4 mg of avutometinib twice a week (BIW), 200 mg of defactinib twice a day (BID) for 3 weeks out of every 4 and 800 mg/m2 of gemcitabine and 125 mg/m2 of Nab-paclitaxel on a schedule of day 1, day 8 and day 15. In dose level 1, 83% (10/12) of patients achieved partial responses (8 confirmed and 2 unconfirmed who remain on treatment). Given these strong and consistent results, the Company has selected dose level 1 as the RP2D, has met the pre-defined criteria to advance beyond the first stage of the expansion study, and is now enrolling up to 29 patients at this dose level.
In evaluating all the dose cohorts, dose level 1 demonstrated the highest response rate and across all five dose cohorts, 92% (48/52) of efficacy evaluable patients showed tumor reduction as best response. Adverse events across all dose cohorts remained generally consistent with the previously announced safety and tolerability profile, and no new safety signals have emerged. While anticipating results from the study expansion cohort, the Company is now developing plans for a registrational Phase 3 front-line metastatic PDAC trial to begin in 2026.
