  • Revolution Medicines

Rasonque is the first approved therapy designed to inhibit multiple active forms of RAS, a major driver of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The approval gives Revolution Medicines its first commercial medicine.

What happened

  • The FDA approved Rasonque for adults with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who received at least one prior systemic therapy or cannot receive multiagent systemic therapy.
  • The once-daily tablet targets multiple active forms of RAS.
  • The FDA granted the approval to Revolution Medicines.

Why it matters

A first-in-class, multi-selective RAS inhibitor is now available for a cancer with historically limited treatment options.
