Kura Oncology posts presentation on darlifarnib update in kidney cancer combination study
  • Kura Oncology highlighted early Phase 1 FIT-001 data for farnesyl transferase inhibitor darlifarnib (KO-2806) combined with cabozantinib in cabozantinib-exposed clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
  • Response-evaluable cabo-exposed ccRCC cohort showed objective response rate 44% (7/16) with disease control rate 94% (15/16).
  • Responses were reported across dose levels, including ORR 67% (2/3) in darlifarnib 3 mg with cabozantinib 60 mg cohort.
  • Safety update in all RCC patients showed grade ≥3 darlifarnib treatment-related adverse events ranging 18% to 67% across cohorts, with neutropenia main severe event.
  • Program rationale centered on darlifarnib blocking mTORC1 signaling via RHEB farnesylation, positioning combination to improve activity in VEGFR TKI-treated kidney cancer.
