Backers of Boston-based Elicio Therapeutics Inc. may have jumped the gun as they ran away from the firm after data were made public from the phase II Amplify-7P study testing ELI-002 7P in adjuvant KRAS-mutation-driven pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) following standard locoregional therapy. Wainwright analyst Robert Burns said the results are “more nuanced than they appear” and the sell-off represents “an attractive entry point” for investors. Shares (NASDAQ:ELTX) closed June 15 at $4.08, down $10.77, or 72%, in the wake of news that the trial missed the pre-specified primary endpoint of disease-free survival (DFS) in the intent-to-treat population.

Tango Therapeutics Inc. will be sitting down with the U.S. FDA soon to discuss pivotal work ahead based on what Cantor analyst Eric Schmidt called “amazing” data from the phase I/II study of vopimetostat, a PRMT5 inhibitor, paired with Revolution Medicines Inc.’s RAS(ON) inhibitors in patients with MTAP-deleted and RAS-mutant metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as well as non-small cell lung cancer.

Oppenheimer analyst Jay Olson trumpeted “a new era” in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) after Revolution Medicines Inc.’s data splash with daraxonrasib at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago – but he wasn’t talking about only that company. Combined with other recent updates in the space, the phase III data from Redwood City, Calif.-based Revolution is providing investors as well as patients with renewed hope in notoriously difficult-to-treat PDAC.

At the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, Revolution Medicines Inc. followed up its stellar top-line data with the details from the phase III RASolute 302 study of its pan-RAS inhibitor daraxonrasib in patients with previously treated, metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The results were simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.

And the positive news continues to flow for Revolution Medicines Inc. On the heels of a successful phase III trial for RAS inhibitor daraxonrasib in previously treated patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) – not to mention the firm pricing the largest follow-on offering in biopharma history – Revolution presented updated phase I/II data at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) meeting detailing impressive findings in first-line PDAC patients.

Taking an unconventional path to market for its targeted therapies for RAS-addicted cancers, Revolution Medicines Inc. secured access to $2 billion in capital to build its own global commercial infrastructure, instead of partnering outside the U.S. as it had originally intended. “We’ve concluded that the best way for us to achieve our goals with our rich pipeline is to direct our own global development and commercial strategies and to operationalize these both inside and outside the U.S. through our own organization,” Mark Goldsmith, president and CEO of Revolution Medicines (Revmed), told investors June 24.

A metabolic vulnerability of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) could be used to address this type of cancer that often resists treatments. Scientists at the University of Michigan have discovered that inhibiting the PIKfyve enzyme prevented tumor development and reduced tumor growth by altering the lipid synthesis these cells rely on. The KRAS-MAPK pathway is involved in this process, leading the researchers to suggest that dual inhibitors of PIKfyve and KRAS-MAPK could be an effective therapeutic strategy.

The lung and thrombosis may play a key role in cancer and metastasis progression, according to a collaborative study led by Cornell University scientists.
