Current report

In October 2024, we announced updated results from the RAMP 201 study with a data cutoff of June 30, 2024. The primary analysis of RAMP 201 study showed a confirmed overall response rate (“ORR”) by blinded independent central review of 31% (34/109; 95% CI: 23-41) in all evaluable patients with measurable disease with approximately 12 months of follow up. Among patients with KRAS mt LGSOC, the confirmed ORR was 44% (25/57; 95% CI: 31-58) and for patients with KRAS wt LGSOC the confirmed ORR was 17% (9/52; 95% CI: 8-30). The median duration of response was 31.1 months (95% CI: 14.8-31.1) in all evaluable patients, with 31.1 months (95% CI: 14.8-31.1) in the KRAS mt population and 9.2 months (95% CI: 5.5-NEi) in the KRAS wt population. The median progression-free survival was 12.9 months (95% CI: 10.9-20.2) in all evaluable patients, with 22 months (95% CI: 11.1-36.6) in the KRAS mt population and 12.8 months (95% CI: 7.4-18.4) in the KRAS wt population. The disease control rate at six or more months was 61% in the total evaluable population, 70% in KRAS mt population and 50% in KRAS wt population. The updated data continues to demonstrate avutometinib in combination with defactinib is generally well-tolerated, with a 10% discontinuation rate due to adverse events and no new safety signals were identified. The most common treatment-related adverse events (all grades, grade ≥3) for the combination were nausea (67.0%, 2.6%), diarrhea (58.3%, 7.8%), and increased blood creatine phosphokinase levels (60.0%, 24.3%).

Current report

In October 2024, we announced that a Type A meeting was held with the FDA during which we aligned with the FDA on our plans to complete our NDA submission for the combination of avutometinib and defactinib in October 2024 for adult patients with recurrent KRAS mt LGSOC, who received at least one prior systemic therapy, based on mature data from the RAMP 201 study. Subsequently in October 2024, we completed our NDA submission with the FDA for the investigational combination of avutometinib and defactinib for adults with recurrent KRAS mt LGSOC, who received at least one prior systemic therapy. We submitted the NDA under the FDA’s Accelerated Approval pathway and requested a Priority Review based on the combination’s potential to address significant unmet medical need among patients with recurrent LGSOC. If granted, the FDA review will be completed within six months following the 60-day filing period. If approved, we expect that avutometinib plus defactinib will be the first-ever FDA-approved treatment specifically for adult patients in the United States with recurrent KRAS mutant LGSOC. At this time, the FDA did not recommend pursuing accelerated approval of a KRAS wt indication. This strategic approach allows us to potentially reach the market more efficiently while mapping out a path forward with the FDA for the KRAS wt indication, including leveraging data from the ongoing RAMP 301 Phase 3 study. RAMP 301, which is currently enrolling patients with recurrent LGSOC regardless of KRAS mutation status, will serve as a confirmatory study for the initial indication and has potential to expand the indication regardless of KRAS mutation status. Obtaining approval of an NDA can be a lengthy, expensive, and uncertain process and the FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any application, including requests such as ours for accelerated approval and priority review, or may decide that our data is insufficient for approval and require additional preclinical, clinical, or other studies. While we have engaged in discussions with the FDA with respect to the scope and nature of our NDA submission, the FDA may, for example, require additional data under the RAMP 301 study before approving the NDA for the scope we request, or at all. There can be no assurance regarding the timing and outcome of the FDA review and approval of our NDA submission.

Current report

added to the RAMP 203 study in new triplet cohorts in 2024. We expect to report updated interim data from the doublet combination of avutometinib plus LUMAKRAS and provide initial safety data and a status of enrollment for the triplet combination of avutometinib, LUMAKRAS and defactinib by the end of 2024.

Current report

As a result of adding defactinib to the RAMP 203 study, we have classified RAMP 203 study costs incurred during the 2024 Quarter within “avutometinib+ defactinib” in the table above. RAMP 203 study costs incurred prior to 2024 Quarter remain classified within “avutometinib + other combinations” in the table above. The $8.5 million increase in avutometinib+ defactinib costs from the 2023 Quarter to the 2024 Quarter was primarily driven by an increase in RAMP 301 study costs, an increase in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics costs, an increase in RAMP 201 study costs, an increase in RAMP 205 study costs, and inclusion of RAMP 203 study costs within avutometinib+ defactinib classification starting in the 2024 Quarter, partially offset by a decrease in RAMP 202 study costs. The $0.7 million decrease in avutometinib + other combinations costs is primarily driven by starting in the 2024 Quarter classifying RAMP 203 study costs within the “avutometinib+ defactinib classification. The $1.2 million increase in GenFleet costs was primarily driven by a $3.0 million development milestone payment made in 2024 Quarter compared to the $2.0 million upfront payment made in the 2023 Quarter pursuant to the GenFleet Agreement.

Previous report

In May 2024, we announced updated results from the RAMP 201 study with a data cutoff of February 2024. In the RAMP 201 study, 115 patients with recurrent LGSOC were treated with the combination of avutometinib and defactinib, of which 109 patients had measurable tumor masses at baseline and were eligible for formal efficacy evaluation as of the data cutoff. As of the data cutoff, all patients had a minimum follow-up of five months since enrollment. Confirmed objective response rates by blinded independent central review for patients evaluable for efficacy were 27% in all patients, and 37% and 15% in KRAS mt (n=57) and KRAS wt (n=52) LGSOC, respectively. Of the 32 patients who remained on study treatment at the data cutoff, 14 reported a best response of stable disease or unconfirmed partial response and therefore have the potential to achieve a formal objective response upon further treatment. The majority of patients, 60% of evaluable patients (65/109) achieved either a complete response, partial response, or stable disease lasting 6 months or longer. The safety results were consistent with previously reported safety data, and the discontinuation rate due to adverse events was 9% in the study overall, as of the cutoff date.

Previous report

In May 2024, we announced that we initiated the rolling submission of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the FDA seeking accelerated approval of the combination of avutometinib and defactinib for patients with recurrent KRAS mt LGSOC who received at least one prior systemic therapy. The rolling review process allows us to submit completed sections of an application for review by the FDA before all sections become available. The initial sections of the application will include the completed nonclinical and quality sections. We plan to seek the broadest label possible with mature RAMP 201 data to inform final indication. Based on discussions with the FDA, the primary efficacy analysis will be based on the RAMP 201 study with mature follow up and that the proposed indication for final submission of the clinical module may be expanded if the data demonstrates a substantial improvement over available therapy in the KRAS wt population. We plan to request a priority review of the NDA. Currently, there are no FDA-approved treatments specifically for recurrent LGSOC.

Previous wording

We estimate the total annual incident addressable market opportunity forthe combination of avutometinib and defactinib to be approximately $300 million for KRAS mt and approximately $270 million KRAS wt populations, respectively. We estimate the total prevalent addressable market opportunity to be approximately $1.7 billion for KRAS mt and approximately $1.1 billion for KRAS wt populations, respectively. Our estimates of the patient population, pricing and revenue opportunities for its product candidates, including for KRAS mt and KRAS wt patients with LGSOC, are based on several internal and third-party estimates and assumptions, including, without limitation, internal forecasts, the median duration of treatment from initial interim clinical data and the assumed prices at which we can commercialize our product candidates. Specifically, our estimates of total addressable market opportunities are based on: (a) estimated annual incidence of KRAS mt and KRAS wt populations of approximately 500 and 1,000 patients, respectively, (b) estimated prevalence of KRAS mt and KRAS wt populations of approximately 2,800 and 4,200 patients, respectively, (c) the average duration of therapy as observed in Verastem clinical trials of 18 months and eight months for KRAS mt and KRAS wt populations, respectively, and (d) an estimated cost of therapy of $34,000 per month consistent with other recent oncology drug launches.

Previous wording

The average duration of therapy included in this calculation is based, in part, on the estimated duration of therapy for patients dosed with the combination of avutometinib and defactinib for the combined Parts A, B, and C in RAMP 201 as of the latest data cutoff in February 2024. Amongst 115 patients, 58 enrolled with KRAS mutated LGSOC and 57 had wild-type, or non-mutated, KRAS. The estimated median duration of therapy for all patients is nine months and the estimated mean duration of therapy is 14 months. For KRAS mt, the estimated median duration of therapy is 14 months and the estimated mean duration of therapy is 18 months with 31 patients still on treatment as of the data cutoff date. For KRAS wt, the estimated median duration of therapy is seven months and the estimated mean duration of therapy is 11 months with 12 patients still on treatment as of the data cutoff date.

Current wording

Previous wording

In December 2023, we announced initiation of a Phase 3 trial, known as the RAMP 301 study, to evaluate the combination of avutometinib and defactinib for the treatment of patients with recurrent LGSOC. The RAMP 301 study is a randomized global trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of avutometinib and defactinib versus standard chemotherapy or hormonal therapy in patients with recurrent LGSOC. RAMP 301 is intended to serve as the confirmatory study required by the FDA to potentially convert an accelerated approval for the combination of avutometinib and defactinib for the treatment of LGSOC to full approval. We also intend to initiate discussions with global regulatory authorities, including those in Europe and Japan, to determine the regulatory path with the objective of ultimately seeking approval for the combination in additional regions.

Previous wording

In September 2021, we entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Amgen, Inc. (“Amgen”) to evaluate the combination of avutometinib with Amgen’s KRAS G12C inhibitor LUMAKRAS® (sotorasib) in a Phase 1/2 study entitled RAMP 203. The Phase 1/2 trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of avutometinib in combination with LUMAKRAS in patients with KRAS G12C NSCLC who have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor, as well as in patients who have progressed on a KRAS G12C inhibitor. The trial is building on preclinical data showing a deeper blockade of MAPK pathway signaling and enhanced anti-tumor efficacy with the combination of LUMAKRAS (KRAS G12C inhibition) and avutometinib (RAF/MEK inhibition) relative to either agent alone. The RAMP 203 study has progressed to the recommended Phase 2 dose of 4 mg avutometinib in combination with 960 mg of LUMAKRAS. RAMP 203 is currently enrolling patients in the dose expansion phase (Part B) for patients who are G12C inhibitor treatment naïve and for patients who have experienced disease progression on a prior G12C monotherapy. In October 2023, we announced initial safety and pharmacokinetics results, as well as preliminary efficacy results, from the RAMP 203 study which were presented at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics in October 2023. These preliminary results showed a confirmed overall response rate (“ORR”) of 25% (3/12) across efficacy-evaluable patients and seen in both KRAS G12C inhibitor resistant (14.3%; 1/7) and naïve (40%; 2/5) patients. In January 2024, the FDA granted fast track designation for combination of avutometinib and LUMAKRAS for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C-mutant metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy and have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor. Based on stronger tumor regressions in KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC preclinical models when a FAK inhibitor is added along with G12C inhibitor and avutometinib, defactinib is being added to the RAMP 203 study. We plan to provide data updates from the RAMP 203 study in the second half of 2024.

In November 2021, we entered into a clinical collaboration agreement with Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mirati”) to evaluate the combination of avutometinib with Mirati’s KRAS G12C inhibitor KRAZATI® (adagrasib) in a Phase 1/2 trial entitled RAMP 204. The Phase 1/2 trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of avutometinib in combination with KRAZATI in patients with KRAS G12C NSCLC who have progressed on a KRAS G12C inhibitor. The trial will build on preclinical data showing a deeper blockade of MAPK pathway signaling resulting in enhanced anti-tumor efficacy with the combination of KRAZATI (KRAS G12C inhibition) and avutometinib (RAF/MEK inhibition) relative to either agent alone. The RAMP 204 study is open and enrolling. Dose escalation is ongoing. We plan to provide data updates from RAMP 204 in the second half of 2024.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, after discussion with Bristol Myers Squibb Company, who completed an acquisition of Mirati in the first quarter of 2024, and the RAMP 204 steering committee, we decided to close the RAMP 204 study to further enrollment in order to prioritize the RAMP 203 study. No new safety signals were identified in the RAMP 204 study and closure to further enrollment is not related to safety findings. The RAMP 203 study will be prioritized primarily because it covers both patients who are G12Ci treatment naïve and progressed and importantly includes the triplet treatment approach.

205 is evaluating the safety, tolerability and efficacy of avutometinib and defactinib in combination with GEMZAR® (gemcitabine) and ABRAXANE® (Nab-paclitaxel) in patients with previously untreated metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. The RAMP 205 trial is evaluating whether combining avutometinib (to target mutant KRAS which is mutated in more than 90% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas) and defactinib (to reduce stromal density and adaptive resistance to avutometinib) to the standard GEMZAR/ABRAXANE regimen improves outcomes for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In August 2022, PanCAN agreed to provide us with an additional $0.5 million for the collection and translational analysis of patient samples. The RAMP 205 trial is open and enrolling. Combination dose evaluation is ongoing. As of a data cut of May 14, 2024, we reported patients receiving the combination of avutometinib and defactinib with gemcitabine and Nab-paclitaxel in dose level 1 cohort achieved a confirmed ORR of 83% (5/6), one dose-limiting toxicity was observed in the dose level 1 cohort, and the dose level was subsequently cleared after additional patients were enrolled. The initial interim results were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in June 2024.
