Revolution Medicines (NASDAQ:RVMD) announced the publication of a peer-reviewed paper in Science detailing the discovery and development of zoldonrasib, their RAS(ON) G12D-selective covalent inhibitor. The drug targets RAS G12D mutations, which are present in 92% of pancreatic cancer, 50% of colorectal cancer, and 30% of non-small cell lung cancer cases.

The paper highlights zoldonrasib's novel tri-complex inhibitor mechanism, which creates a neomorphic protein-protein interface between cyclophilin A and activated RAS to selectively target RAS(ON) G12D proteins. Preclinical data showed significant tumor regression in multiple tumor types with KRAS G12D mutations.

The drug is currently being evaluated in clinical trials, including the RMC-9805-001 Phase 1 study for patients with advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS G12D mutations.

Insights

Revolution Medicines' Science publication validates zoldonrasib's novel mechanism for targeting historically undruggable RAS G12D mutations in multiple cancers.

This Science publication represents a significant scientific breakthrough in the RAS inhibitor space. Targeting RAS mutations—especially non-G12C variants like G12D—has been one of oncology's most persistent challenges. The described tri-complex inhibitor approach is particularly innovative, creating a neomorphic protein-protein interface between cyclophilin A and activated RAS to facilitate selective covalent bond formation with the G12D variant.

What makes this approach remarkable is overcoming the specific technical hurdle of targeting aspartic acid residues with covalent inhibitors. Previous generation RAS inhibitors like sotorasib and adagrasib successfully targeted G12C mutations through cysteine's nucleophilicity, but the G12D variant had remained elusive due to aspartic acid's chemical properties.

The clinical significance is substantial given that KRAS G12D mutations appear in approximately 92% of pancreatic cancers, 50% of colorectal cancers, and 30% of non-small cell lung cancers. The preclinical data showing "deep and durable tumor regressions" across multiple tumor types suggests zoldonrasib may have broad therapeutic potential.

The company's progression into clinical trials with already presented data at major conferences (AACR for NSCLC and EORTC-NCI-AACR for PDAC) indicates they're advancing rapidly through development. This publication serves as scientific validation for their approach and strengthens their position in the competitive landscape of RAS-targeting therapeutics.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a late-stage clinical oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced the publication of a peer-reviewed research paper in Science. The scientific paper details the discovery and development of zoldonrasib (RMC-9805), a RAS(ON) G12D-selective covalent inhibitor.

Oncogenic RAS mutations are observed in approximately 92% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 50% of colorectal cancer, and 30% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. RAS G12D, an oncogenic variant of RAS that contains an aspartic acid in place of glycine at amino acid 12, is one of the most common RAS mutations in human solid tumors. Historically, it has been particularly challenging to target aspartic acid residues with covalent inhibitors. ​This publication details the novel mechanism of zoldonrasib, a member of the differentiated class of targeted protein binders called tri-complex inhibitors. This natural product-like compound successfully overcomes the challenge of engaging aspartic acid residues by leveraging a neomorphic protein-protein interface between the cellular chaperone cyclophilin A and activated RAS, or RAS(ON), to selectively catalyze covalent bond formation with RAS(ON) G12D proteins. Data reported in this paper demonstrate that this activity drives deep and durable tumor regressions in preclinical models of multiple tumor types with KRAS G12D mutations.

“The tri-complex inhibitor modality has proven to be a productive approach to solving the challenge of developing mutant-selective inhibitors for RAS variants beyond the G12C substitution, as demonstrated by zoldonrasib that targets the G12D variant,� said Jan Smith, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Revolution Medicines. “This report demonstrates the novel features of zoldonrasib that enable it to bind to the active or RAS(ON) state, including a highly novel covalent bond formed selectively with the substituted aspartic acid in this oncogenic variant. The preclinical profile combined with recent clinical data presentations provide an encouraging picture of the therapeutic potential for zoldonrasib in cancers caused by RAS G12D and further validate the broad utility of this drug discovery approach.”�

The full manuscript, titled “A neomorphic protein interface catalyzes covalent inhibition of RAS G12D aspartic acid in tumors,� is available online at .

Zoldonrasib is currently undergoing evaluation in several clinical trials, including RMC-9805-001 (NCT06040541), a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation and dose-expansion Phase 1 study designed to evaluate zoldonrasib in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a KRAS G12D mutation. NSCLC results from this study were presented in April 2025 at the and PDAC results from this study were presented in October 2024 at the .
