    • Erasca, Inc. recently secured U.S. patent protection through 2043 for its pan-RAS molecular glue candidate ERAS-0015, advanced ERAS-0015 and ERAS-4001 through Phase 1 trials in RAS/KRAS-mutant solid tumors, promoted Robert Shoemaker, Ph.D., to chief scientific officer, and reported US$362,000,000 in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities as of September 30, 2025.

    What Is Erasca's Investment Narrative?

    To own Erasca, you really have to believe that RAS is a cornerstone oncology target worth funding well before any revenue shows up. The new patent protection on ERAS-0015 to 2043 and the Phase 1 progress for ERAS-0015 and ERAS-4001 help firm up the long-term story, but they do not change the near-term reality that the stock still trades on clinical data and financing risk, not on earnings. The extended cash runway into the second half of 2028 modestly reduces dilution worries and lets management prioritize RAS programs with fewer forced trade-offs, which could sharpen upcoming data readouts as the key catalysts to watch. At the same time, the company is loss making with no forecast revenue, so trial setbacks or muted efficacy signals remain the biggest threat to the thesis.

    However, there is one funding-related risk in particular that investors should be aware of. Our valuation report here indicates Erasca may be overvalued.

You can weigh those community estimates against the current cash runway into 2028 and the binary nature of upcoming trial readouts to judge how much execution risk you are comfortable with.
