On a Journey to Erase Cancer Erasca Investor Update May 2024 Disclaimer: Forward Looking Statements & Market Data We caution you that this presentation contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than state

Key Takeaway: Erasca provided an investor update outlining its mission to target the RAS/MAPK pathway in oncology, aiming to potentially benefit 100,000 cancer patients annually. The company highlighted a strong financial posture with $334 million in cash and a pipeline featuring candidates like ERAS-0015 and ERAS-4001. However, the update also raised concerns about the reliance on forward-looking statements and the risks associated with a limited product pipeline and potential trial delays.

Disclaimer: Forward Looking Statements & Market Data 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, the potential benefits from our current or future arrangements with third parties, including the anticipated benefits of the license agreements with Medshine Discovery Inc.
and Joyo Pharmatech Co., Ltd., 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; our assumptions about
ERAS-0015 or ERAS-4001 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; we only have one product
candidate in clinical development and all of our other development efforts are in the preclinical or development stage; 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; 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; our planned SEACRAFT trials may not support the registration of naporafenib; 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; 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; 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; 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

May enable lower clinically active dose which could translate to: - Lower risk of solubility-limited absorption and exposure plateau observed with another pan-RAS MG Preclinical in development Potency - Better GI tolerability profile due to lower
drug load - Improved therapeutic window for any potential off-target toxicities KRAS G12Ci class has demonstrated how RAS higher potency can translate into improved Targeting Molecule clinical activity Bolsters ability to Oral
