EGFR Targeting Improves Response to Previously Difficult to Treat Colorectal Cancers with KRAS Mutations

An international team of researchers led by Sandra Misale, research associate at the Sloan Kettering Institute, examined the effects of the experimental cancer drug, AMG510, which targets KRAS G12C cell lines, and found that the efficacy of such KRAS G12C inhibitors is lineage-specific. These findings provide a mechanistic understanding of the differences in response to KRAS G12C inhibitor in lung and colorectal cancers.
