RMC-6236-001 by @KCArbourMD @DavidHongMD and other colleagues on @NEJM for RAS-mutant NSCLC. Take: Daraxonrasib showed a dose-dependent ORR of ~30%. 99% of patients with some toxicity and 4 grade 5 events reported. This is the first oral RAS(ON) agent to show some dose-response signal and likely to expand the options limited to KRAS G12C (Sotorasib and adagrasib). Management of toxicity will be key. #NSCLC #LCSM #KRAS
