Revolution Medicines Presents Data from its SHP2 and Oncogenic RAS(ON) Programs at 6th AACR-IASLC International Joint Conference

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Revolution Medicines, Inc., a clinical-stage oncology company focused on developing targeted therapies to inhibit elusive frontier targets within notorious cancer pathways, today announced that preliminary data from the company's Phase 1 clinical trial (RMC-4630-01) of RMC-4630 were reported in podium and poster presentations at the 6^th AACR-IASLC International Joint Conference: Lung Cancer Translational Science from the Bench to the Clinic being held January 11-14, 2020 in San Diego, CA.  In this study RMC-4630 has shown reasonable tolerability and preliminary signs of clinical activity in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring KRAS mutations, particularly KRAS^G12C.

RMC-4630, the company's investigational SHP2 inhibitor, is a potent and orally bioavailable small molecule that is designed to selectively inhibit the activity of SHP2, an upstream cellular protein that plays a key role in modulating cell growth by transmitting signals from receptor tyrosine kinases to RAS.  The ongoing Phase 1 monotherapy study is evaluating RMC-4630 for a range of tumor types featuring specific, molecularly-defined oncogenic mutations. 

Data from the study were reported in podium and poster presentations entitled, "The SHP2 inhibitor RMC-4630 in patients with KRAS-mutant non-small cell lung cancer: Preliminary evaluation of a first-in-man phase 1 clinical trial."  These presentations are available on the company's website at the following links:
