Preliminary results from ERAS-007 plus palbociclib (palbo) in patients (pts) with KRAS/NRAS mutant (m) colorectal cancer (CRC) or KRASm pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in HERKULES-3 study: A phase 1b/2 study of agents targeting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in pts with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies (GI cancers). (ASCO 2023)
ERAS-007 in combination with palbo in pts with KRASm/NRASm CRC or KRASm PDAC shows expected preliminary safety with reversible and manageable AEs. The highest dose evaluated and cleared by the safety review committee to date is ERAS-007 100 mg BID-QW in combination with the approved monotherapy dose of palbo 125 mg QD. Clinical trial information: NCT05039177.

Preliminary results from ERAS-007 plus encorafenib and cetuximab (EC) in patients (pts) with metastatic BRAF V600E mutated colorectal cancer (CRC) in HERKULES-3 study: A phase 1b/2 study of agents targeting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway in pts with advanced gastrointestinal malignancies (GI cancers). (ASCO 2023)
ERAS-007+EC in pts with BRAF V600E CRC shows acceptable preliminary safety/tolerability and evidence of clinical activity. The highest dose of ERAS-007 evaluated and cleared by the safety review committee to date is 100 mg BID-QW when combined with EC. Observed PK, toxicity, and preliminary activity support continued evaluation of this combination in pts with BRAF V600E CRC.

ERAS-007 (ERK inhibitor) + ERAS-601 (SHP2 inhibitor) exhibit nonclinical combination activity across KRAS mutated NSCLC, CRC, and PDAC tumor models (AACR 2022)
In KRAS mutant CDX and PDX models, this MAPKlamp’s in vitro activity was observed in vivo where it achieved superior tumor growth inhibition and tumor regression relative to ERAS-601 and ERAS-007 monotherapy. This MAPKlamp showed in vitro and in vivo combination activity in KRAS mutant tumors, and these results support its clinical evaluation in RAS/MAPK pathway-driven tumors.

­­­­ERAS-007 is a selective ERK1/2 inhibitor with preclinical activity across RAS/MAPK pathway-driven CRC models (AACR 2022)
ERAS-007 demonstrated monotherapy activity and combination benefit in cell-based assays as well as superior combination efficacy in vivo relative to respective monotherapy control arms.In summary, ERAS-007 demonstrates promising preclinical activity across a wide range of RAS/MAPK pathway-driven CRC models both as a monotherapy and in combination that support further exploration in the clinic. Accordingly, ERAS-007 combinations with encorafenib + cetuximab in BRAFV600E CRC and with palbociclib in KRASmut CRC are currently being evaluated in the HERKULES-3 phase 1b/2 master protocol (NCT05039177).

ERK inhibitor ASN007 effectively overcomes acquired resistance to EGFR inhibitor in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Invest New Drugs)
In addition, combination treatment with ASN007 and EGFR TKIs significantly decreased the survival of resistant cells, enhanced induction of apoptosis, and effectively inhibited the growth of erlotinib-resistant xenografts, providing the preclinical rationale for testing combinations of ASN007 and EGFR TKIs in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients. This study emphasizes the importance of targeting ERK signaling in maintaining the long-term benefits of EGFR TKIs by overcoming acquired resistance.

ASN007 is a selective ERK1/2 inhibitor with preferential activity against RAS-and RAF-mutant tumors. (PubMed, Cell Rep Med)
The PI3K inhibitor copanlisib enhances the antiproliferative activity of ASN007 both in vitro and in vivo due to dual inhibition of RAS/MAPK and PI3K survival pathways. Our data provide a rationale for evaluating ASN007 in RAS/RAF-driven tumors as well as a mechanistic basis for combining ASN007 with PI3K inhibitors.
