Forward guidance

Erasca expects its current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities balance to fund operations into the second half of 2025.

Tailwinds

  • Ability to execute on the upcoming near-term catalysts for our clinical programs
  • Potential therapeutic benefits and safety profile of our product candidates, including naporafenib, ERAS-007, ERAS-601, and ERAS-801
  • Planned advancement of our development pipeline, including the anticipated timing of the first patient dosing in the SEACRAFT-2 trial
  • Anticipated timing of data readouts for the SEACRAFT-1, HERKULES-3, FLAGSHP-1, and THUNDERBBOLT-1 trials, and other upcoming development milestones
  • Expectation that our current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities will fund our operations into the second half of 2025

Headwinds

  • Approach to the discovery and development of product candidates based on our singular focus on shutting down the RAS/MAPK pathway, a novel and unproven approach
  • Potential delays in the commencement, enrollment, data readouts, and completion of clinical trials and preclinical studies
  • Dependence on third parties in connection with manufacturing, research, and preclinical and clinical testing
  • Unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our product candidates that may limit their development, regulatory approval, and/or commercialization, or may result in recalls or product liability claims
  • Unfavorable results from preclinical studies or clinical trials
