Zoldonrasib (RM-036; RMC-9805) is an investigational oral drug for cancers with a KRAS G12D mutation. Human results have been reported, but they remain preliminary: the studies summarized below are early-phase and do not establish whether zoldonrasib improves survival compared with standard treatment. (aacrjournals.org)
Zoldonrasib forms a complex with cyclophilin A that binds irreversibly to the active, GTP-bound form of KRAS G12D, blocking downstream growth signaling. (cancer.gov)
Among 40 lung-cancer patients receiving zoldonrasib alone, common treatment-related adverse events were nausea (43%), vomiting (33%), diarrhea (30%), and rash (18%); 13% had grade 3 events, with no grade 4 or 5 treatment-related events reported. In the pancreatic-cancer combination studies, grade 3 or higher treatment-related events occurred in 35% with daraxonrasib and 61%–80% with chemotherapy; the daraxonrasib combination study reported one treatment-related death from intestinal perforation.

Goal: Determine whether adding zoldonrasib to first-line chemotherapy improves progression-free or overall survival in metastatic KRAS G12D-mutated pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Patients: Adults with recently diagnosed, previously untreated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma harboring KRAS G12D, measurable disease, ECOG performance status 0–1, and adequate organ function. Prior systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic disease and prior RAS-targeted therapy are excluded.
Design: Global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial comparing zoldonrasib plus chemotherapy with placebo plus chemotherapy. The investigator chooses the chemotherapy regimen.
Treatments: Both arms receive either modified FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, standard first-line chemotherapy options; patients also receive oral zoldonrasib or matching placebo. Zoldonrasib is an investigational KRAS G12D inhibitor that forms a complex with cyclophilin A and irreversibly binds active, GTP-bound KRAS G12D to block downstream signaling. Preliminary first-line pancreatic cancer combination studies reported response rates of 82% with modified FOLFIRINOX (22 evaluable patients) and 61% with gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (31 evaluable patients); these noncomparative results do not establish zoldonrasib’s contribution or a survival benefit.
Outcomes: Primary endpoints are investigator-assessed progression-free survival by RECIST v1.1 and overall survival. Secondary measures include centrally reviewed progression-free survival, response rate and duration, adverse events, laboratory and vital-sign changes, pancreatic pain, global quality of life, and zoldonrasib blood concentrations.
Burden on patient: Moderate. Patients receive multiagent intravenous chemotherapy plus an oral study drug or placebo, with ongoing visits for treatment, imaging, safety assessments, and questionnaires. Patients receiving zoldonrasib also have blood sampling for drug concentrations at selected visits through cycle 5 day 1. No mandatory research biopsy or imaging frequency is specified; much of the visit burden is likely associated with chemotherapy and routine disease monitoring.
