One Monday, from watch run to brief sent
Week 40 for the KRAS G12D programme team: a rival medicine is approved in pancreatic cancer, another enters Phase 3 in the indication we plan for, and a lung cancer combination reads out. Here is the morning, screen by screen, in the working solution.
- 01Monday morning
The week’s changes, already found
Lena Ortiz · Competitive intelligence leadLena opens the solution to a finished watch run: 1,284 sources checked for 42 rival assets across four watch lists — 23 changes, 5 that matter. Two briefs wait for her approval, due to their teams by 12:00, and two changes about sites on the feasibility shortlist wait for her to confirm. Sam Patel has already sent the Claudin 18.2 brief to 11 people at 08:35.
This morning’s watch run: “Change detector — 29 findings → 23 changes.”

The KRAS landscape, by mechanism and phase
Lena Ortiz · Competitive intelligence leadOncology — KRAS holds 14 watched assets from 11 sponsors, set out by mechanism — G12C, G12D, pan-RAS, other alleles, pathway partners — and by phase. Our programme NX-4127 sits in Phase 2; two rivals are approved and two are in Phase 3 ahead of it. Assets that changed this week are marked, and the three significant changes are listed beside the matrix.
- 03Run watch now
Four watchers, one change detector, one brief writer
The agentsThe run is shown step by step. The Registry watcher checks 4 trial registries for the 14 assets; the News watcher reads 38 press releases and pipeline pages; the Abstract reader goes through 212 congress abstracts and matches the late-breaker LBA-71 to CORAL-301; the Approval watcher finds a new US approval for VNT-224. The Change detector merges 14 findings into 11 changes, and the Brief writer drafts the KRAS brief. The last step waits for the analyst.
“11 changes found · 3 significant. VNT-224 approved in the US · CORAL-301 met its endpoint · SLN-0582 entered Phase 3. Every change is linked to its source.”
- 04Approval · Oct 2
VNT-224 approved — before and after, with the passage
Approval watcherThe change feed shows what moved since the last capture on Mon 28 Sep: status from “Under review (priority)” to “Approved — United States”, indication 2L+ metastatic PDAC, KRAS G12-mutant, label test-selected with overall survival 12.4 vs 6.8 months. Beside it, the agency approval letter and Vantor Pharma’s press release, each with the exact sentence highlighted.
Why it matters for NX-4127: “It sits in the same second-line population as our NX-4127 Phase 2, and becomes the treatment our next trial is likely to be compared with.”
- 05To confirm
SLN-0582 enters Phase 3 — the analyst decides
Lena Ortiz · Competitive intelligence leadSOLSTICE-PANC is registered: SLN-0582 moves from Phase 2 to Phase 3 in first-line metastatic PDAC, NCT07214863, an estimated 540 patients, 210 planned sites in 19 countries. The Change detector explains why it matters — Solenne is about 12–18 months ahead, and 38 of its likely sites are on our feasibility shortlist — and proposes it as significant. Lena confirms it, or marks it not significant.
Significant changes need an analyst’s confirmation; anything below 85 % confidence goes to review.

One page for the programme team, every claim linked
Brief writerThe KRAS landscape brief for week 40 opens with a three-point bottom line, then what changed — the VNT-224 approval, the SOLSTICE-PANC phase advance, the CORAL-301 readout — each with a “So what” for NX-4127. The sources panel shows 14 of 14 claims sourced, numbers matching the sources, one page. Click any number in the brief to open its passage.
- 07What it means
Actions with an owner, and what to watch next
Brief writerThe brief turns the week into three actions: review the second-line Phase 3 design with VNT-224 as the likely comparator before the 2 Nov governance meeting (Priya Raman, clinical development); check the 38 shared sites before site selection closes on 30 Oct (Jonas Weber, clinical operations); update the target product profile with the 12.4-month benchmark (Dr. Maya Chen). Eight smaller changes follow under “Also this week”.
The Brief writer’s rules: every claim needs a source passage; no forecasts stated as fact.
- 08Before it goes
Approve and send to the KRAS G12D programme team
Lena Ortiz · Competitive intelligence leadThe approval screen shows 14 of 14 claims linked, the 14 readers, from the programme lead to regulatory and market access, and how it goes out — email with the brief as a PDF, and a post to the programme page. One change, PLH-12, is still unconfirmed; the screen says so, and that approving the brief confirms it as written.
“Your approval is recorded with your name and the time, and the sent version is kept.”
- 09Sent
Sent, with the trail behind it
Lena Ortiz · Competitive intelligence leadThe brief moves to Sent and the activity trail reads in order: the Change detector found 11 changes, the Brief writer drafted the brief with 14 claims, Lena confirmed 9 of 11 changes, confirmed PLH-12 with the brief, and approved and sent it to 14 people.
