  • Arcus reported Nature publication from ARC-20 linking casdatifan activity in metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma to HIF-2a biology.
  • Deeper suppression of serum EPO, a proposed biomarker of HIF-2a inhibition, correlated with higher response rates and longer progression-free survival.
  • At an Aug. 15, 2025 cutoff, confirmed ORR was 35% in the 100 mg once-daily tablet cohort; median PFS was not estimable.
  • Across four monotherapy cohorts (n=121), confirmed ORR was 31%; median PFS was 12.2 months.
  • Later analysis with a Jan. 30, 2026 cutoff showed median PFS of 15.1 months in the 100 mg once-daily cohort used in PEAK-1 Phase 3.
