Erasca (ERAS) said Tuesday that the US Patent and Trademark Office has issued a patent covering the composition of matter for Erasca's investigational drug ERAS-4001 to treat patients with KRAS-mutant solid tumors.
The patent, which is effective until June 2043, is titled "Heterocyclic Substituted Pyrimidopyran Compound And Use Thereof," and also includes related compositions.
"With patent protection extending through at least 2043, the ERAS-4001 program is supported by a robust, long-term IP foundation, with additional patents pending," Erasca quoted its chief executive officer, Jonathan Lim, as saying in a statement. "We look forward to reporting Phase 1 data for ERAS-0015 in the first half of the year and for ERAS-4001 in the second half of the year."
