FDA Immediately Approves Drug That’s Doubling Lifespan for Late Pancreatic Cancer Patients
A twice-daily pill called daraxonrasib nearly doubled survival for late-stage pancreatic cancer patients whose chemotherapy had failed, extending median lifespan from 7 months to more than 13. The FDA approved it in just 35 days after a phase 3 trial led by Dana-Farber. The drug works by gluing molecules together to block KRAS, a protein long considered pharmaceutically untouchable. Dozens of similar KRAS-targeting drugs are now in development for other cancers.
