Notes

Revolution Medicines is a clinical-stage precision oncology company focused on developing novel targeted therapies for RAS-addicted cancers. The company is publicly traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol RVMD.

RAS mutations are among the most common oncogenic drivers in human cancers, found in approximately 25-30% of all cancers. Revolution Medicines is developing a portfolio of RAS(ON) inhibitors that directly target RAS in its active, "ON" state, as well as RAS Companion inhibitors that work synergistically with RAS(ON) inhibitors.

The company's lead programs target KRAS mutations, which are particularly prevalent in pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers.
