REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVMD), a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on developing targeted therapies to inhibit frontier targets in RAS-addicted cancers, today announced the publication of an original scientific paper in Nature Chemical Biology describing anti-tumor effects of bi-steric mTORC1-selective inhibitors that potently suppress phosphorylation of 4EBP1, a key translational regulator of oncogene expression. In preclinical models of cancers with mutations that drive mTORC1 hyperactivation, a series of bi-steric inhibitors demonstrated the favorable anti-tumor effects and tolerability of deeply and selectively inhibiting mTORC1 compared to earlier generations of mTOR inhibitors. Mutations that cause hyperactive mTORC1 signaling are found in tumors with and without co-existent RAS mutations. This original research was led by scientists at Revolution Medicines and conducted in collaboration with the Neal Rosen Lab at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, as well as researchers from McGill University and The Karolinska Institute.
Revolution Medicines recently advanced RMC-5552, the company's investigational first-in-class bi-steric mTORC1 inhibitor, into clinical development. RMC-5552 is a potent and selective inhibitor of mTORC1 that is being developed as an anti-cancer therapeutic for patients with solid tumors that exhibit hyperactivation of the mTOR pathway, including certain RAS-addicted cancers. The compound is designed to inhibit mTORC1 and thereby protect the natural tumor suppressor activity of 4EBP1, without the undesirable inhibition of mTORC2. RMC-5552 has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in a wide variety of preclinical models. Revolution Medicines has also reported in vivo data demonstrating that RMC-5552 may increase anti-tumor activity in combination with KRASG12C inhibitors in lung and colon cancers harboring both KRAS mutations and co-mutations in the mTOR signaling pathway that can cause resistance to single agent RAS inhibition.
"The paper published in Nature Chemical Biology highlights the therapeutic promise of mTORC1-selective bi-steric inhibitors in the treatment of tumors driven by the genomic activation of the mTORC1 pathway. Specifically, the published research details the manner in which these selective inhibitors of mTORC1 potently inhibit tumor growth while causing less toxicity and receptor reactivation, a potential mechanism of adaptive resistance, as compared to conventional mTOR inhibitors," said Steve Kelsey, M.D., president, research and development at Revolution Medicines. "These study results offer compelling rationale for our recently initiated clinical development program for RMC-5552."
The company recently initiated a multicenter, open-label dose-escalation and dose-expansion Phase 1/1b clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics of RMC-5552 in patients with advanced relapsed/refractory solid tumors. Results from this study will inform identification of the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and selection of recommended Phase 2 dose and schedule (RP2DS) for further evaluation of the compound.
The paper published in Nature Chemical Biology is titled, "Selective inhibitors of mTORC1 activate 4EBP1 and suppress tumor growth," and can be accessed at: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41589-021-00813-7
About mTORC1
The mTOR Complex 1 (mTORC1) is a central node within the mTOR signaling pathway and a critical regulator of metabolism, growth and proliferation in cancer cells. Oncogenic mutations of genes encoding proteins that lie upstream of mTOR, including PI3K, PTEN, and STK11, can drive abnormal activation of mTORC1 and subsequent inactivation of the tumor suppressor 4EBP1. Selective inhibition of mTORC1 to reactivate 4EBP1 is a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with tumors bearing such mutations. These mutations are often co-occurring with RAS mutations in RAS-addicted tumors and combinations of mTORC1 and RAS-targeted inhibitors may be of particular benefit in this context.

Multiple AACR Presentations Highlight Potential Advantages of RAS(ON) Inhibitors;
Scientific Publication is First to Demonstrate Anti-Drug Resistance FeaturesContinued Advancement and Enrollment of Multiple RMC-4630 RAS Companion Inhibitor Combination Studies; Initiated Clinical Evaluation of RMC-5552
Successfully Completed Financing Raising $281 Million in Net Proceeds
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVMD), a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on developing targeted drugs to inhibit frontier targets that drive and sustain RAS-addicted cancers, today announced its financial results for the first quarter of 2021 and provided a corporate update.
"Revolution Medicines has made excellent progress reinforcing our belief that the company's cohesive portfolio of innovative clinical and preclinical assets will power compelling rational, mechanism-based combination treatments that provide benefit to patients with RAS-addicted cancers," said Mark A. Goldsmith, M.D., Ph.D., chief executive officer and chairman of Revolution Medicines.
"We presented data at the AACR Annual Meeting 2021 demonstrating the attractive preclinical profiles of two pioneering RAS(ON) inhibitor candidates that are currently undergoing IND-enabling development, RMC-6291 (KRASG12C) and RMC-6236 (RASMULTI). These first examples of RAS(ON) inhibitors intended for human use exhibit differentiated breadth, depth and durability of anti-tumor effects in human cancer models. Further, an important recent scientific paper described multiple genetic mutations causing clinical resistance to leading KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors but with preserved sensitivity to RAS(ON) inhibitors from our collection. We believe that RMC-6291, RMC-6236 and additional emerging inhibitors in our portfolio hold great promise for use in treating, and overcoming resistance in, patients with a diverse range of RAS-addicted cancers lacking adequate targeted therapeutics.
"The company also continues broad-based initiatives with our RAS Companion Inhibitor portfolio. For RMC-4630 (SHP2), combination approaches with multiple direct RAS inhibitors remain a high-priority treatment strategy supported by the clinical and preclinical anti-tumor activity, resistance and safety data observed to date across these classes of targeted agents. Amgen's CodeBreaK 101c study evaluating the combination with sotorasib has demonstrated acceptable tolerability, has cleared early dose levels and is currently dosing patients at the target dose of RMC-4630 (200 mg on a Day 1/Day 2 weekly schedule). We also continue evaluating a second, distinct group of treatment strategies for RMC-4630 in combination with established drugs that potently suppress the RAS signaling pathway, including cobimetinib, a MEK inhibitor and osimertinib, an EGFR inhibitor, to determine whether enhanced pathway inhibition from these drug combinations delivers sufficient anti-tumor activity and tolerability to confer clinical benefit.
"We are also pleased to have begun clinical evaluation of RMC-5552 (mTORC1/4EBP1) in a monotherapy dose-escalation study. In aggregate, these projects with our RAS Companion Inhibitor portfolio, including continued IND-enabling development of RMC-5845 (SOS1), support our long-term goal of combining these assets with RAS(ON) Inhibitors on behalf of patients selected by molecular tumor features.
"To support the expanded and advancing pipeline, Revolution Medicines successfully completed a financing in the first quarter that helped position the company with a strong balance sheet."
R&D Highlights
RAS(ON) Inhibitors – Revolution Medicines continues maturing its first-in-class RAS(ON) Inhibitor platform, including an expansive collection of tri-complex inhibitors targeting diverse oncogenic RAS variants through highly differentiated chemical and pharmacologic profiles.
- Potential advantages of RAS(ON) Inhibitors – A recent paper in Cancer Discovery by Dr. Ryan Corcoran's team at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School identified multiple resistance mutations that bypass the effects of three first-generation KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors. Importantly, the researchers found that a KRASG12C-selective RAS(ON) tool compound from the Revolution Medicines portfolio, RM-018, retained potent binding and inhibitory activity against tumor cells harboring an on-target mutation that conferred resistance to all three KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors tested.
- RMC-6291 (KRASG12C)

- Potential advantages of RAS(ON) Inhibitors – A recent paper in Cancer Discovery by Dr. Ryan Corcoran's team at the Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School identified multiple resistance mutations that bypass the effects of three first-generation KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors. Importantly, the researchers found that a KRASG12C-selective RAS(ON) tool compound from the Revolution Medicines portfolio, RM-018, retained potent binding and inhibitory activity against tumor cells harboring an on-target mutation that conferred resistance to all three KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors tested.
