🧬RAS mutation drives 90+% of #PDAC
Most common mutation is #KRAS G12D or G12V, but a minority of patients have G12C (~3%)
💡In non-RAS mutated disease, higher probability of a gene fusion event as a driver

It has long been a dream to 🎯KRAS!
RAS is a GTPase-when GTP is bound, KRAS is ✅
When GDP is bound, it’s ❌
Normally, we try to drug the pocket where GTP binds–but we can’t easily reach it in KRAS, and the protein binds GTP tightly!

@Kevansf & team found a way to build a molecule that irreversibly binds cysteine (G12C), outside of the GTP binding pocket!
This causes 🔗rxn which changes shape of GTP binding pocket. Bottom line: GTP can't bind & KRAS is locked ❌

Sotorasib= 1st approved KRAS G12C inhibitor. Initial trials in NSCLC, but also with activity in pre-treated G12C mutated #PDAC
✅21% ORR
4.0 mo mPFS
6.9 mo mOS

Adagrasib- another covalent G12C inhibitor
Longer t1/2 (24h vs 5.5h) than sotorasib
Improved CNS penetration
In pre-treated #PDAC , ORR 33.3%

Glecirasib: G12C covalent inhibitor
In pre-treated #PDAC :
ORR 41.9%
mPFS 5.6m
mOS 10.7m
Danger with cross-trial comparison, but are we seeing incremental gains with subsequent generation inhibitors?? No head-to-head studies yet.

What about the rest of the (more common) KRAS mutations?
Lots of work ongoing now, including inhibitors targeting other muts, including more common mutations found in #PDAC
🔹G12D specific
🔹Pan exon 12
🔹KRAS “on” inhibitors

Enter MRTX1133= G12D selective small molecule
Clinical trial ongoing now: NCT05737706
Animal data:
🔹Activity in #PDAC
✅Improves immune mediated killing of PDAC + may synergize with checkpoint inhibitors

While G12C inhibitors and G12D inhibitors could be revolutionary...
Is there a pan-mutant RAS inhibitor?
RMC 6236 is an example, targeting ALL KRAS G12 mutations.
How does it work? Read on… 👇

Totally different MOA
RMC 6236 is like a GLUE
Sticks one protein, cyclophilin A, directly onto GTP bound (active) mKRAS.
Similar strat also being used to target KRAS G12C!
The result in PDAC:
Phase I- ORR 20% w some ongoing responses

If we can ❌KRAS, will ❌EGFR at the same time work better?
Active area of research--combos are promising so far!
Adagrasib + cetuximab= DOUBLED ORR in #CRC and now supported in #NCCN
Ongoing work in PDAC
