“Confidence in our RAS(ON) inhibitor platform and assets continues to grow and has been bolstered particularly by the strength of the interim safety, PFS and OS data shown in July for patients with pancreatic cancer in the RMC-6236 monotherapy study. Based on current benchmarks for first- and second-line treatment of metastatic PDAC, we believe RMC-6236 has the potential to become an important new therapeutic option to address large unmet medical needs for patients with this threatening disease,” said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines. “The appointment of Frank Clyburn to our board of directors and several strategic additions to our executive team support our deep focus on enabling the next stage of growth and maturation for Revolution Medicines. We have made substantial progress in planning for the initiation of our first pivotal, Phase 3 study for RMC-6236 in pancreatic cancer, and are working actively to prepare to advance RMC-6236 into earlier lines of therapy.”

 

Clinical Development Highlights

 

Plans to Advance RMC-6236 Monotherapy into Pivotal Trials

Pancreatic cancer: On July 15, 2024, the company reported updated data on the clinical safety, tolerability and antitumor activity from its ongoing monotherapy study evaluating RMC-6236 in patients with previously treated metastatic PDAC across dose cohorts ranging from 160 mg daily to 300 mg daily as of a May 11, 2024 data cutoff date. Key findings included:

Lung cancer: The company expects to share updated NSCLC data from its ongoing RMC-6236 monotherapy study in the fourth quarter of 2024 and to launch a registrational study to evaluate RMC-6236 in previously-treated patients with advanced NSCLC in the fourth quarter of 2024.

company. Mr. Clyburn received his M.B.A. from Arizona State University and his B.A. from Franklin & Marshall College.

 

Addition of New Leaders

The company has made several strategic leadership hires across research and development, corporate affairs and program management, including:

 

Second Quarter Results

 

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.59 billion as of June 30, 2024.
 

Revenue: Total revenue was zero for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue was due to the termination of the company’s collaboration agreement with Sanofi in 2023.

 

R&D Expenses: Research and development expenses were $134.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $98.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase in expense was primarily due to increases in clinical trial expenses for RMC-6236, RMC-6291 and RMC-9805, preclinical portfolio expenses, personnel-related expenses related to additional headcount and stock-based compensation expense.

 

G&A Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $21.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $14.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to increases in personnel-related expenses related to additional headcount, commercial preparation activities and stock-based compensation expense.

 

Net Loss: Net loss was $133.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to net loss of $98.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

Financial Guidance

Revolution Medicines is reiterating the updated projected full year 2024 GAAP net loss guidance that it shared in July 2024 of between $560 million and $600 million, which includes estimated non-cash stock-based compensation expense of between $70 million and $80 million. Based on the company’s current operating plan, the company projects current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities can fund planned operations into 2027.
