Shanghai-based D3 Bio (Wuxi) Co. Ltd. showed positive results for its lead candidate, next-generation KRAS G12C inhibitor, D3S-001, also known as elisrasib, in patients with KRAS G12C mutation cancers, including patients previously treated with first-generation KRAS G12C inhibitors. Presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2025) meeting on April 29, the data were simultaneously published in Nature Medicine.

KRAS is a GTPase that switches from an active GTP-bound conformation and an inactive GDP-bound conformation. Recently, several covalent KRAS G12C inhibitors that stick the protein in its GDP-bound inactive state have reached the clinic. However, the clinical benefit to date is limited and there is a need for next-generation compounds with better target engagement.
Medicxi has made its first ever investment in China – and its biggest single commitment to date – putting $40 million into D3 Bio Inc. The investment by the London-based venture capital firm will accelerate development of D3’s lead program D3S-001, a second generation KRAS G12C inhibitor, which is in phase II development in advanced solid tumors.
