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.

… Tuesday, May 19, 2020 Background KRAS is one of the most commonly mutated genes in human tumors, including lung, colon and pancreatic cancers. Mutant KRAS has been considered undruggable for decades until the recent development of a new class of covalent inhibitors that are able to inhibit the G12C mutant
