Verastem announces first patient dosed with VS-7375

Verastem (VSTM) Oncology “announced that the first patient has been dosed in VS-7375-101, the U.S. Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluating VS-7375, a potential best-in-class oral KRAS G12D inhibitor, in patients with advanced KRAS G12D mutant solid tumors. VS-7375-101 is a Phase 1/2a study being conducted in the U.S., with plans to expand globally, and will evaluate the safety and efficacy of VS-7375 in patients with advanced KRAS G12D mutant solid tumors. The monotherapy dose escalation phase of the study will use a starting dose of 400 mg, based on an efficacious dose identified in the Phase 1/2 study conducted in China by the Company’s partner, GenFleet Therapeutics. GenFleet announced encouraging initial safety and efficacy results from its Phase 1 dose-escalation phase of its study of VS-7375 (known as GFH375 in China) at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting. Verastem plans to dose-escalate across dose levels where encouraging initial safety and efficacy were observed in patients with advanced KRAS G12D mutant solid tumor cancers in GenFleet’s study. Upon successful completion of the dose-escalation phase, the Company will select a recommended Phase 2 dose and assess the efficacy and safety of monotherapy VS-7375 in expansion cohorts of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. In parallel with the monotherapy dose escalation, Verastem will evaluate VS-7375 in combination with cetuximab in advanced solid tumors. Subject to the results of the Phase 1 dose escalation combination of VS-7375 and cetuximab, Verastem plans to initiate a combination expansion cohort in colorectal cancer.”
