Verastem Inches up on ’25 Lookahead

Verastem Oncology (NASDAQ: VSTM), a biopharmaceutical company committed to advancing new medicines for patients with RAS/MAPK pathway-driven cancers, today announced its 2025 priorities and upcoming catalysts for its novel clinical pipeline.

"We ended 2024 having made tremendous progress across our pipeline programs, including FDA acceptance of our NDA with Priority Review for avutometinib plus defactinib in recurrent KRAS mutant low-grade serous ovarian cancer. As we head into 2025, we are building on the foundational milestones achieved in 2024 and are poised for a transformative year of growth as we evolve into a commercial-stage company while advancing several clinical programs,” said CEO Dan Paterson. “With the addition of VS-7375, a potential best-in-class oral KRAS G12D (ON/OFF) inhibitor, we are well-positioned to further establish our leadership in targeting RAS/MAPK pathway-driven cancers, including metastatic pancreatic cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and KRAS G12D mutant solid tumors.”

In 2025, Verastem will focus on three strategic priorities to drive sustainable long-term growth:

Successfully launch avutometinib plus defactinib in recurrent KRAS mutant low-grade serous ovarian cancer (LGSOC) in the U.S. and continue to advance the regulatory pathway in Japan and Europe
Maximize the synergistic potential of the avutometinib plus defactinib combination in other advanced solid tumors for market expansion opportunities

VSTM shares took on seven cents, or 1.3%, to $5.59.
