Overall, our findings show that casdatifan achieves meaningful, durable responses with manageable safety. These data establish a link between on-target HIF-2α pathway modulation, tumour biology and clinical efficacy.

Casdatifan has shown promising clinical activity in the ARC-20 ccRCC platform study, both as monotherapy and in combination with the VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) cabozantinib. Currently, casdatifan is being evaluated in a Phase 3 trial in combination with cabozantinib (NCT07011719) in patients with advanced ccRCC.
These features translated into improved biochemical and cellular activity, including inhibition of hypoxia-regulated gene expression. Insights from this campaign ultimately informed the discovery of casdatifan, a clinical-stage HIF-2α inhibitor, underscoring the translational potential of this novel chemotype.
