Erasca reported $248.8 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities at March 31, 2026, but capital alone does not buy credibility. New entrants without seasoned teams still face a high bar to build programs that survive early scrutiny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIP and patent defenses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eErasca, Inc. and peers can use patents, know-how, and data exclusivity to fence off their lead programs. In the U.S., patents can last 20 years from filing, while small-molecule drugs can get 5 years of FDA data exclusivity and biologics 12 years, so new entrants must design around claims or risk infringement. That raises cost, time, and legal risk in the same niche.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatents create direct blocking rights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExclusivity delays fast follow-on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnow-how is harder to copy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign-around work adds R\u0026amp;D cost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"get_full_prdct_green\" onclick=\"get_full()\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAccess to patients and partners\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccess to patients and partners is a real barrier for Erasca, Inc.
