Peers on Argus
RVMD traded near its 52-week high with a modest -0.43% move while key biotech peers showed mixed, mostly small moves (e.g., BPMC +0.09%, VRNA +0.06%, MRNA -3.55%), supporting a stock-specific setup rather than a sector-wide driver.
Previous Clinical trial Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 13 | Phase 3 OS data | Positive | +41.4% | Phase 3 RASolute 302 showed large OS benefit versus chemotherapy in PDAC. |
| Apr 02 | Phase 3 trial start | Positive | +0.5% | Initiation of RASolute 303 Phase 3 trial in first-line metastatic PDAC. |
| Jan 29 | First-in-human dosing | Positive | +0.9% | First patient dosed in RMC-5127-001 trial for RAS G12V-selective inhibitor. |
| Dec 18 | Phase 3 enrollment | Positive | -1.0% | First patient randomized in RASolute 304 adjuvant PDAC Phase 3 trial. |
| Oct 27 | Orphan designation | Positive | +6.4% | FDA Orphan Drug Designation granted to daraxonrasib in pancreatic cancer. |
Clinical trial announcements have generally been followed by positive stock reactions, especially for major Phase 3 updates, with only one recent instance of the stock dipping on otherwise positive trial progress.
Over the past several months, Revolution Medicines has repeatedly highlighted progress in its RAS(ON) pipeline. Key milestones include strong Phase 3 RASolute 302 data in metastatic pancreatic cancer on Apr 13, 2026 with a 41.35% move, and initiation of the Phase 3 RASolute 303 trial on Apr 2, 2026. Earlier updates covered first patient randomization in RASolute 304 and FDA Orphan Drug Designation for daraxonrasib. Today’s zoldonrasib Phase 1 NSCLC data fits this pattern of steady clinical advancement across multiple RAS-driven cancers.
Historical Comparison
Across five prior clinical-trial headlines, RVMD moved an average of 9.63%, with the strongest reaction tied to pivotal Phase 3 pancreatic cancer data. This zoldonrasib update extends that clinical momentum.
Clinical news has progressed from early RAS(ON) programs entering first-in-human studies to multiple daraxonrasib Phase 3 trials and now robust Phase 1 zoldonrasib data in KRAS G12D NSCLC.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights promising Phase 1 data for zoldonrasib in KRAS G12D NSCLC, with a 52% objective response rate, 93% disease control rate, and median PFS of 11.1 months in a heavily pretreated subset. It extends a pattern of steady clinical progress across RVMD’s RAS(ON) pipeline. Investors may watch for larger datasets, durability of response, and how these results compare with emerging targeted options for RAS-driven lung cancers.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a late-stage clinical oncology company developing targeted therapies for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced updated Phase 1 (RMC-9805-001) clinical data for zoldonrasib, an oral RAS(ON) G12D-selective inhibitor, in patients with previously treated KRAS G12D non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Results were highlighted in the official press program at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting and will be featured in a plenary oral presentation today, April 19, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. PDT.
“Patients with RAS G12D non-small cell lung cancer remain a population with a significant unmet medical need for targeted therapeutic options,” said Jonathan Riess M.D., medical director of thoracic oncology at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and principal investigator for the RMC-9805-001 trial. “The manageable safety profile and evidence of clinical activity in this Phase 1 trial are encouraging and support the continued clinical development of zoldonrasib.”
“We believe these updated data further strengthen the profile of zoldonrasib as a potentially important targeted therapy for patients with RAS G12D non-small cell lung cancer where historical treatment options, such as chemotherapy, have offered limited benefit, and are often associated with considerable toxicity,” said Alan Sandler, M.D., chief development officer of Revolution Medicines. “The emerging profile supports advancing zoldonrasib across monotherapy and combination settings in lung cancer and other RAS G12D-driven cancers.”
Summary of Phase 1 Zoldonrasib Data at AACR 2026 (Abstract # CT021)
RMC-9805-001 is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation and dose expansion Phase 1 trial designed to evaluate zoldonrasib in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring a KRAS G12D mutation. The data to be presented at the AACR Annual Meeting are as of a December 1, 2025 data cutoff, and included 40 patients with KRAS G12D NSCLC treated with zoldonrasib 1200 mg once daily, the recommended Phase 2 dose, and who were evaluable for safety. Efficacy analyses were conducted in a subset of patients with prior immune checkpoint inhibitor and platinum chemotherapy and no prior docetaxel treatment who had sufficient follow-up for response assessment (n=27).
Zoldonrasib was generally well tolerated and demonstrated a safety profile consistent with previously reported findings. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade occurring in at least
Zoldonrasib demonstrated encouraging clinical activity in patients with KRAS G12D NSCLC previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitor and platinum chemotherapy and no prior docetaxel. Among this subset of patients (n=27), the confirmed objective response rate was
