In episode twenty of PancChat, host @AlisynCamerota speaks with @DrLizJaffeeabout the latest advances in #pancreaticcancer research. Dr. Jaffee explores why pancreatic cancer has historically resisted immunotherapy, the promise of cancer vaccines and the emergence of KRAS inhibitors as a new class of targeted therapies — and shares why, after 30 years in the field, she is more optimistic than ever. 💜

[PanCAN @PanCAN]

A new therapy that targets RAS mutations present in more than 90% of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma — the most common type of pancreatic cancer — approximately doubles overall survival according to clinical trial results announced today. 🧪

@RevMedicines shared Phase III clinical trial results for a pill called daraxonrasib in patients with previously treated metastatic #pancreaticcancer. For decades, RAS was considered “undruggable,” meaning that there was no effective way to target RAS. These results greatly expand the potential benefit of targeted therapies for patients with pancreatic cancer.

PanCAN Chief Scientific and Medical Officer @ABerkenblit, MD, MMSc, shares, “We are standing at the threshold of groundbreaking treatments for patients with pancreatic cancer. Today’s announcement represents a real opportunity to bring new hope for people facing this disease: hope for more time with family, hope for better quality of life and hope that ongoing and future research may ultimately lead to a cure.” 💜

Next, Revolution Medicines will need to take their data to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the FDA grants approval for daraxonrasib, it will be made available as a treatment for patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have been previously treated.
