About VS-7375, an Oral KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) Inhibitor & TARGET-D Clinical Program
VS-7375 is an investigational, potent and selective, oral KRAS G12D dual ON/OFF inhibitor – a potential best-in-class molecule designed to bind both the active (ON) and inactive (OFF) states of KRAS G12D selectively and more potentially and completely than compounds targeting only one state of the protein.

Verastem is evaluating VS-7375 across the TARGET-D clinical development program in patients with advanced KRAS G12D-mutant solid tumors. The program includes the Phase 1/2 TARGET-D 101 (NCT07020221) dose-escalation, dose-expansion and combination trial, as well as three registration-directed Phase 2 trials currently enrolling patients:

• TARGET-D 201 (NCT07644559) for metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) including the first-line setting.
• TARGET-D 202 (NCT07659782) for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) including in patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis.
• TARGET-D 203 (NCT07659795) for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) including the first-line setting.

VS-7375 has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Fast Track Designation for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12D-mutated locally advanced or metastatic PDAC in both the first-line and previously treated settings, and for previously treated patients with KRAS G12D-mutated unresectable locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

VS-7375 originated from Verastem's collaboration with GenFleet Therapeutics and is being developed by GenFleet as GFH375. Verastem holds development and commercialization rights to VS-7375 outside GenFleet’s markets of mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
