Kura Oncology Reports Promising Early Results for Darlifarnib in Combination Cancer Therapy
Kura Oncology Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced new preliminary data from its farnesyl transferase inhibitor $(FTI)$ programs-darlifarnib (KO-2806) and tipifarnib-at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress in Berlin, Germany, held from October 17 to 21, 2025. The results, which have already been presented, include early clinical and preclinical findings supporting darlifarnib's potential to enhance the clinical benefit of PI3Kα inhibitors, KRAS inhibitors, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In an ongoing dose-escalation clinical trial, the combination of darlifarnib and cabozantinib in renal cell carcinoma $(RCC)$ demonstrated a 50% objective response rate and an 80% disease control rate. Additional data from the FIT-001 Phase 1 trial indicate a manageable safety and tolerability profile for darlifarnib monotherapy in advanced solid tumors at doses from 3 to 10 mg per day.
