When RAS Becomes Treatable: Eileen O’Reilly on daraxonrasib in Pancreatic Cancer
Daraxonrasib nearly doubled median survival in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer. For Dr Eileen O’Reilly, the result is not simply a remarkable curve on a conference screen, but the beginning of a new way to think about a disease long…
Daraxonrasib: A Turning Point for Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, with limited progress in drug development over the past decade. At the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial delivered results that stood out against…
Rewriting RAS: A New Targeted Option on the Horizon for Pancreatic Cancer
Metastatic pancreatic cancer remains one of the most treatment-refractory solid tumours in oncology. Despite multiple incremental refinements over the past decade, first-line therapy continues to rely on cytotoxic chemotherapy, most commonly FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel, with limited change in…
Cracking RAS: It took over 30 years to hit this ubiquitous oncogene – was it worth the wait?
RAS oncogenes and their proteins have central roles in almost all cancers, including leukaemias, multiple myelomas, skin cancers and many solid tumours, making the RAS protein family an ideal cancer target. But efforts to develop clinically efficacious drugs to target…
