Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed February 26, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Revolution Medicines, Inc. reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024, and provided an update on corporate progress in a press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1.
For the full year 2024, the company reported zero total revenue (compared to $11.6 milliona in 2023, a decline attributed to the termination of its Sanofi collaboration in 2023), research and development expenses of $592.2 million (up from $423.1 million), general and administrative expenses of $97.3 million (up from $75.6 million), and a net loss of $600.1 million (up from $436.4 million). For the fourth quarter, net loss was $194.6 million versus $161.5 million a year earlier. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $2.3 billion at December 31, 2024, up from $1.9 billion, primarily reflecting an upsized public equity offering in December 2024 that raised $823 million in net proceeds.
The company's near-term focus is on its RAS(ON) inhibitor pipeline, led by daraxonrasib. It anticipates substantially completing enrollment in the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial in previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer during 2025, with an expected data readout in 2026. It is activating sites for the Phase 3 RASolve 301 trial in previously treated non-small cell lung cancer, and anticipates initiating two additional pivotal trials of daraxonrasib in earlier lines of pancreatic cancer treatment in the second half of 2025.
Management stated it plans to retain control of U.S. commercial rights while preparing for a potential launch, and is exploring strategies for serving patients outside the U.S. For 2025, the company expects a full-year GAAP net loss between $840 millionb and $900 million, including estimated non-cash stock-based compensation of $115 million to $130 million. It projects that current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities can fund planned operations into the second half of 2027.
