Erasca ( ERAS ), a potential rival to Revolution Medicines ( RVMD ) in developing drugs targeting cancer-causing mutations in the “RAS” family, lost ~37% in extended trading after releasing early data from a Phase 1 trial for its solid tumor candidate ERAS-0015.

Erasca ( ERAS ), a potential rival to Revolution Medicines ( RVMD ) in developing drugs targeting cancer-causing mutations in the “RAS” family, lost ~37% in extended trading after releasing early data from a Phase 1 trial for its solid tumor candidate ERAS-0015. The data from its AURORAS-1 Phase 1 dose escalation trial in the U.S. and its Chinese partner Joyo Pharmatech's JYP0015M101 Phase 1 dose escalation trial in China showed a well-tolerated safety profile for the pan-RAS molecular glue candidate, ERAS stated on Monday. However, on a subsequent conference call, the company disclosed a fatality in a patient with heavily pre-treated metastatic pancreatic cancer who died after receiving a 24-mg dose of ERAS-0015. The 66-year-old male who experienced grade three pneumonitis died after refusing supportive care, according to Erasca ( ERAS ). Regarding efficacy, the San Diego, California-based biotech reported 62% and 40% unconfirmed overall response rates (uORR) among patients with KRAS G12X non-small cell lung cancer and KRAS G12X pancreatic cancer, respectively. The analysis was based on uORR results at least eight and 14 weeks before the data cutoff date in patients with second-line or greater NSCLC and PDAC who received 16-32 mg QD of ERAS-0015 in both studies, respectively. Earlier in the day, Erasca ( ERAS ) hinted at a potential dispute with Revolution Medicines ( RVMD ), whose shares surged earlier this month in response to late-stage trial data for its pan-RAS inhibitor daraxonrasib in pancreatic cancer. In a regulatory filing, the company said that Revolution Medicines (RMED) sent it a letter alleging that ERAS-0015 infringed on its U.S. Patent No. 12,409,225. Erasca ( ERAS ) added that the rivals' claims are without merit and it “ intends to contest the allegations vigorously.” More on Erasca, Revolution Medicines Erasca, Inc.

Sorapop/iStock via Getty Images Affordability and the cost of living remained the most important financial problem facing Americans, with 31% citing inflation and high prices as their top concern, according to a Gallup report by Lydia Saad . The survey showed affordability had held the top spot for five consecutive years, continuing to outpace all other financial concerns tracked in the poll. Mentions of inflation and high prices were significantly higher than any other single issue cited by respondents. Energy costs saw a notable increase, with mentions rising by 10 percentage points to 13%. This marked the highest level of concern about energy prices since 2008, based on Gallup’s historical data. Housing costs were also among the most frequently cited issues within the broader affordability category. Healthcare costs remained another area of concern, though cited by a smaller share of respondents. A record 55% of Americans said their financial situation was getting worse, reflecting the continued impact of rising prices on household finances. Other financial concerns ranked significantly lower in comparison. Smaller shares of respondents mentioned income levels, unemployment, or debt as their top financial problem. The results were based on Gallup’s annual Economy and Personal Finance survey, which tracked Americans’ views on personal finances and economic conditions. According to Gallup, affordability-related issues continued to outweigh all other financial concerns by a wide margin across the survey period.

Gabon began auditing its public debt to establish which obligations should be formally recognised, as the central African nation seeks a new International Monetary Fund program. The review, covering the period from 2016 to 2024, will examine a series of disputed items including projects that weren’t fully executed, funds that didn’t reach Treasury accounts and budgetary commitments that the government argues weren’t properly recorded as public liabilities, the finance ministry said in a statement on Monday. “Obligations that do not meet the principles of sound public financial management will be subject to appropriate treatment,” the ministry said. The audit, carried out in collaboration with the IMF, is expected to take nine to 12 months and pave the way for a new fund arrangement by late 2026 or early 2027, it said. The review adds to other reforms the OPEC member is undertaking in a bid to secure a new program from the IMF, which suspended a $553 million facility after a coup in 2023. In December, the authorities announced an audit of mining contracts aimed at strengthening governance in the manganese-producing country. Earlier this month, the fund signaled that the country is facing worse fiscal pressures than expected, amid investor doubts over its budget figures. Gabon’s budget deficit is expected to widen to 12% by 2028, from 8.5% last year, according to the IMF.

Both Senegal and Mozambique are at levels considered to signify debt distress, with the former under particular scrutiny after a new government uncovered billions of dollars of hidden debts incurred by the previous administration.

JetBlue Airways ( JBLU ) traded lower in premarket action on Tuesday after delivering first-quarter earnings results. Revenue was up 4.7% year over year to $2.24B to match the consensus expectation. JetBlue ( JBLU ) saw a wider non-GAAP EPS loss than a year ago. The carrier pointed to strong booking trends, especially with the Fort Lauderdale business.

The average fuel price for the quarter that ended on March 31 was up 15.2%. "While the macro environment, particularly fuel, has become more volatile, we are taking decisive actions to manage what is within our control, including adjusting capacity, optimizing revenue, and maintaining disciplined cost control," highlighted CEO Joanna Geraghty. The airline company expects 30% to 40% fuel price recapture in Q2 and 100% by early 2027.

African Rainbow Minerals Ltd. signed a conditional deal to sell nickel to a smelter owned by Boliden AB , offering a pathway for reopening a mothballed mine in South Africa. The transaction would see nickel concentrate from the Nkomati mine sent to the Harjavalta smelter in Finland “over a multi-year period,” ARM said on Tuesday. The Johannesburg-listed firm’s board must still approve the restart of mining at the asset, while Boliden needs to conduct due diligence, according to the statement. Nkomati has been shuttered since 2021 but is South Africa’s only proven primary nickel resource. ARM took full control of the mine last year by closing the acquisition of a 50% interest from Russia’s MMC Norilsk Nickel PJSC. The potential deal with Sweden’s Boliden “supports the potential recommencement of mining at Nkomati and strengthens the Nkomati restart business case by securing an off-take route for future nickel concentrate production,” ARM said. Harjavalta is the only large-scale nickel smelter in Europe. South African billionaire Patrice Motsepe is ARM’s founder and largest shareholder. The company’s assets produce coal, gold, manganese, iron ore and platinum group metals. Boliden’s mines and smelters produce copper, zinc, nickel and lead. The statement didn’t offer any information about the deal’s commercial terms, citing confidentiality provisions.
