On a Journey to Erase Cancer Erasca Corporate Presentation January 2025 Eric N., naporafenib clinical trial participant and cancer survivor, and his wife Margaret Exhibit 99.1
We caution you that this presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this presentation, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, research and development plans, the anticipated timing (including the timing of initiation and the timing of data readouts), costs, design and conduct of our ongoing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials for our product candidates, the potential therapeutic benefits of our product candidates, our intellectual property protection, the timing and likelihood of success of our plans and objectives, the impact of the deprioritization of certain programs, and future results of anticipated product development efforts, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us that any of our plans will be achieved. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this presentation due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including, without limitation: our approach to the discovery and development of product candidates based on our singular focus on shutting down the RAS/MAPK pathway, a novel and unproven approach; we only have one product candidate in clinical development and all of our other development efforts are in the preclinical stage; our assumptions about ERAS-0015's or ERAS-4001's development potential are based in large part on the preclinical data generated by the licensors and we may observe materially and adversely different results as we conduct our planned studies and trials; our assumptions around which programs may have a higher probability of success may not be accurate, and we may expend our limited resources to pursue a particular product candidate and/or indication and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications with greater development or commercial potential; the analysis of pooled Phase 1 and Phase 2 naporafenib plus trametinib data covers two clinical trials with different designs and inclusion criteria, which cannot be directly compared, and therefore may not be a reliable indicator of ORR, mPFS, or mOS data; due to differences between trial designs and subject characteristics, comparing data across different trials may not be a reliable indicator of data; preliminary results of clinical trials are not necessarily indicative of final results and one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues, following more comprehensive reviews of the data and more patient data become available, including the risk that an uPR to treatment may not ultimately result in a cPR to treatment after follow-up evaluations; our SEACRAFT trials may not support the registration of naporafenib; later developments with the FDA or EU health authorities may be inconsistent with the feedback received to date regarding our development plans and trial designs; Fast Track Designation may not lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process, and does not increase the likelihood that our product candidates will receive marketing approval; potential delays in the commencement, enrollment, data readout, and completion of clinical trials and preclinical studies; our dependence on third parties in connection with manufacturing, research, and preclinical and clinical testing; unexpected adverse side effects or inadequate efficacy of our product candidates that may limit their development, regulatory approval, and/or commercialization, or may result in recalls or product liability claims; unfavorable results from preclinical studies or clinical trials; results from preclinical studies or early clinical trials not necessarily being predictive of future results; the inability to realize any benefits from our current licenses, acquisitions, or collaborations, and any future licenses, acquisitions, or collaborations, and our ability to fulfill our obligations under such arrangements; regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our product candidates and maintain our rights under intellectual property licenses; our ability to fund our operating plans with our current cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities into the second half of 2027; and other risks described in our prior filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and any subsequent filings with the SEC. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, which is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This presentation also contains estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions, and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us. Disclaimer: Forward Looking Statements & Market Data

Naporafenib + trametinib demonstrated a favorable, manageable AE profile AE: adverse event; BID: twice daily; QD: once daily; SC: SEACRAFT Phase 1 data in NRASm melanoma from De Braud et al AACR 2022 AE profile consistent with expected toxicities associated with RAF and MEK inhibition 400+0.5 dose safe and tolerable 200+1 dose safe but less tolerable without mandatory primary rash prophylaxis Primary prophylaxis of rash being implemented in both SC-1 and SC-2 provides opportunity to further improve safety and tolerability
Dose optimization designed to enhance combination benefit/risk profile to increase probability of regulatory success in light of Project Optimus naporafenib range of potentially efficacious doses* 400mg BID 100mg BID 200mg BID 0.5mg QD 1mg QD Data from SEACRAFT-1 and SEACRAFT-2 complement each other, allowing us to efficiently test the full effective dose range of naporafenib + trametinib within the two trials to optimize the benefit/risk profile in both indications of interest * As part of the naporafenib + trametinib combination BID: twice a day; QD: once a day trametinib range of potentially efficacious doses* 400 + 0.5 100 + 1 SEACRAFT-2 dose SEACRAFT-1 dose 200 + 1
Napo + tram OS data showed high consistency across studies and doses mOS: median overall survival Differences exist between trial designs and subject characteristics and caution should be exercised when comparing data across trials. Reproducibility of these results across studies and doses increases our confidence in the mOS observations NRASm mOS: ~13-15 months (across doses and studies) Phase 1 200 mg + 1 mg (events 9/15), median (95% CI): 13.04 (4.60, NE) Phase 1 400 mg + 0.5 mg (events 10/15), median (95% CI): 14.09 (5.65, 19.42) Phase 2 200 mg + 1 mg (events 9/24), median (95% CI): NE (6.97, NE) Phase 2 400 mg + 0.5 mg (events 10/17), median (95% CI): 15.57 (5.98, NE) Phase 1 200 mg + 1 mg Phase 1 400 mg + 0.5 mg Phase 2 200 mg + 1 mg Phase 2 400 mg + 0.5 mg # Patients at Risk Time (Months) Probability (%) of Survival
