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 ❌

Glecirasib: G12C covalent inhibitor
In pre-treated :
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

🔹G12D specific
🔹Pan exon 12
🔹KRAS “on” 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
