  1. Patient with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma previously treated with one prior line of therapy (5-fluorouracil (5-FU) based or gemcitabine-based regimen)
    Radiographically confirmed metastatic disease ECOG PS 0–2; disease progression on ≥1 prior systemic therapy for metastatic disease Adequate organ function (Clinical trial participation always encouraged)
    • Assess performance status, prior therapy, organ function, goals of care
      • Comprehensive molecular profiling (NGS ± ctDNA if tissue limited)
        Test for KRAS, NRAS, HRAS mutation status
        • Targetable KRAS alteration (RASolute-302 eligible)
          RASolute-302 enrolled RAS mutations defined as nonsynonymous mutations in KRAS, NRAS, or HRAS at codons 12, 13, or 61 (G12, G13, or Q61).
          • Consider daraxonrasib + best supportive care (BSC)
            Daraxonrasib + Best Supportive Care (BSC): Daraxonrasib 600 mg orally twice daily (continuous). Continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. Monitor: CBC, CMP, Mg, Phos; assess AEs and adherence.
            • At progression (consider trial, alternate systemic therapy, BSC)
              Consider clinical trial Standard cytotoxic chemotherapy options (e.g., nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV, gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel, FOLFIRINOX if appropriate); Best supportive care
        • Non-targetable KRAS alteration
          (e.g., G13D, Q61H, others)
          • Standard systemic therapy based on prior regimen exposure; consider clinical trial; best supportive care (BSC)
            Nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel FOLFIRINOX (if PS 0–1 and appropriate) Consider clinical trial Best supportive care Daraxonrasib benefit not demonstrated in non-G12X KRAS tumors.
            • At progression (consider trial, alternate standard regimen, BSC)
              Consider clinical trial Alternate standard regimen not previously received Best supportive care
        • Wild-type KRAS
          • Standard systemic therapy based on prior regimen exposure; consider clinical trial; best supportive care (BSC)
            Nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel FOLFIRINOX (if PS 0–1 and appropriate) Consider clinical trial Best supportive care Wild-type KRAS tumors are not candidates for daraxonrasib.
            • At progression (consider trial, alternate standard regimen, BSC)
              Consider clinical trial Alternate standard regimen not previously received Best supportive care
  2. NOTE
    Early palliative/supportive care integration is recommended throughout treatment. Algorithm informed by phase III RASolute-302 findings pending peer-reviewed presentation/publication (ASCO 2026).
