Revolution Medicines Announces Seven Oral Presentations at the Upcoming American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2022
Pipeline of Development-Stage RAS(ON) Inhibitors to be Highlighted in Four Presentations in “Targeting the RAS Oncogene” Session, as well as Presentations in “Chemistry to the Clinic” and “Challenging Targets” Sessions and Pediatric Cancer Working Group Town Hall Meeting
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a clinical-stage oncology company developing targeted therapies for RAS-addicted cancers, today announced the company will make seven oral presentations at the upcoming American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022 being held April 8-13, 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Four of the company’s oral presentations will be featured in the conference mini-symposium session entitled “Targeting the RAS Oncogene.” These presentations will describe recent research findings regarding Revolution Medicines’ broad pipeline of RAS(ON) Inhibitors currently in development, including RMC-6236 (RASMULTI), RMC-6291 (KRASG12C), RMC-9805 (KRASG12D) and RMC-8839 (KRASG13C).
Three additional oral presentations from Revolution Medicines will provide deeper insights into the tri-complex RAS(ON) inhibitor platform. These will highlight the mechanisms underlying this novel inhibitor modality and the broad potential of this platform to target the RAS(ON) form of multiple oncogenic RAS variants and deliver first-in-class therapeutics designed to address the significant unmet needs of patients with RAS-addicted cancers.
Additionally, collaborators of Revolution Medicines will make four separate poster presentations. Three of these describe the activity of the company’s RAS(ON) Inhibitors and/or RAS Companion Inhibitors in preclinical models. A fourth relates to machine-learning digital pathology in support of clinical biomarker strategies.
Details of the planned presentations are as follows:
