Verastem Oncology announced the discontinuation of its RAMP 203 Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating avutometinib in combination with LUMAKRAS™ (sotorasib) and defactinib for advanced KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The decision follows an interim data evaluation and reflects a shift in focus toward the clinical development of VS-7375, a KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) inhibitor, in advanced NSCLC and other solid tumors. According to the company, RAMP 203 enrolled 66 patients at the recommended Phase 2 dose, with efficacy data showing a 40% overall response rate and a median progression-free survival of 11.1 months among 30 G12C-inhibitor treatment-naïve patients. These results were available as of the November 26, 2025, data cutoff. Verastem also noted ongoing development of avutometinib and defactinib in other indications, including a Phase 3 confirmatory trial in recurrent low-grade serous ovarian cancer and a trial in advanced pancreatic cancer.
