The promise of pan-KRAS and ALTA3263

ALTA3263 is our therapeutic candidate designed for broad, durable, and tolerable inhibition of KRAS-driven cancers. Developed to address the limitations of mutation-specific and pan-RAS inhibitors, we believe ALTA3263 combines deep target coverage with a favorable therapeutic index.

We are investigating ALTA3263 in a Phase 1/1b clinical trial in advanced solid tumors, with a focus on colorectal (CRC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cancers. Nearly 50% of colorectal cancers harbor KRAS mutations, yet approved KRAS-targeted therapies address only a small subset of these mutations, highlighting the opportunity for new combination approaches targeting a broader range of KRAS mutations. KRAS mutations are present in more than 90% of PDAC cases, a cancer with significant unmet need, highlighting the opportunity for new KRAS-targeted combination therapies in earlier lines of treatment, where improving outcomes could have a meaningful impact on patients.

ALTA3263 offers:
  • KRAS isoform selectivity – Targets KRAS while sparing HRAS and NRAS, aiming to reduce off-target toxicities and support more tolerable, combinable treatment regimens
  • Broad KRAS mutant and wild-type (WT) coverage – Demonstrated predominantly sub-nanomolar potency across KRAS mutations representing >90% of KRAS mutations by frequency, including common drivers (e.g., G12D, G12V) and resistance-associated variants. Targets WT KRAS to inhibit compensatory signaling and help limit therapeutic escape
  • Dual ON/OFF-state inhibition – Engineered to bind KRAS in both active (ON) and inactive (OFF) states, enabling inhibition of mutations like G12D and G12V that favor the ON state and are historically difficult to drug
  • Drug-like properties and pharmacokinetics profile – Designed for good oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics, with the potential to achieve full, sustained target coverage and support monotherapy or combination use
  • Tolerability and combinability – Intended to deliver meaningful clinical activity while supporting tolerability and compatibility, offering a promising therapeutic backbone for use in combination with standard-of-care or emerging targeted therapies
ALTA3263 inhibits both ON and OFF states
ALTA3263’s mechanism of action – inhibits KRAS in both ON and OFF states
Most KRAS inhibitors do not potently bind the ON state (as seen in preclinical models), which limits their ability to inhibit mutations like G12D and G12V that stay in the ON state longer.

NOW ENROLLING

Phase 1/1b clinical trial

We are currently enrolling people with advanced solid tumors with KRAS mutations into a Phase 1/1b study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary clinical activity of ALTA3263.
