HUTCHMED has begun the Phase Ia portion of a global first-in-human trial of HMPL-A830 in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors, with the first dose given in China on September 24. The antibody-targeted therapy is designed to deliver a KRAS inhibitor to EGFR-expressing tumors while blocking both KRAS and EGFR signaling; the early-stage study will assess safety, dosing and preliminary anti-tumor activity.

GSK agreed to license Hutchmed’s HMPL-A830, a KRAS-EGFR antibody-drug conjugate, for up to $1.295 billion including $110 million upfront, with global rights outside Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan while Hutchmed retains development and commercialization duties in those regions. The collaboration targets initial trials in colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancers, leveraging a dual KRAS-EGFR mechanism to improve efficacy and tolerability.

Daraxonrasib, an investigational KRAS-targeting drug, has shown the potential to more than double survival in stage IV pancreatic cancer compared with chemotherapy and is being offered through expanded access programs at Nebraska Medicine, with Ben Sasse publicly discussing his positive response. The FDA has accepted an NDA for daraxonrasib based on phase 3 trial results showing significant improvements in overall survival, progression-free survival, and response rate, signaling a possible breakthrough though not yet FDA approved.
