Framing Analysis
The FDA granted expedited approval to daraxonrasib, marketed as Rasonque by Revolution Medicines, for patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that progressed after prior treatment. In a company-funded trial of 500 patients, median overall survival reached 13.2 months with daraxonrasib versus 6.7 months with chemotherapy. The American Cancer Society projects 67,000 new U.S. cases and more than 52,000 deaths from pancreatic cancer this year.
