Kura Oncology darlifarnib trial shows 77% tumor shrinkage, high ORRs

AI Summary

Kura Oncology reported compelling first-in-human data from its FIT-001 clinical trial of darlifarnib in combination with adagrasib for KRAS G12C-mutated advanced solid tumors. The trial demonstrated 77% tumor shrinkage in response-evaluable patients, including those heavily pretreated and KRASi-experienced. Objective response rates were 67% in PDAC, 50% in NSCLC, and 29% in KRASi-naïve CRC patients, reinforcing darlifarnib's potential as a precision combination agent with a manageable safety profile. These results will be presented at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, and the company will host a virtual investor event on June 3, 2026.
