Despite decades of research, efforts to directly target KRAS have been challenging. MRTX849 was identified as a potent, selective, and covalent KRASG12C inhibitor that exhibits favorable drug-like properties, selectively modifies mutant cysteine 12 in GDP-bound KRASG12C, inhibits KRAS-dependent signaling. demonstrated pronounced tumor regression 17 26 (65%) KRASG12C-positive cell line- patient-derived xenograft models from multiple types, objective responses observed patients with lung colon...

KRASG12D, the most common oncogenic KRAS mutation, is a promising target for treatment of solid tumors. However, when compared to KRASG12C, selective inhibition KRASG12D presents significant challenge due requirement inhibitors bind with high enough affinity obviate need covalent interactions mutant protein. Here, we report discovery and characterization first noncovalent, potent, inhibitor, MRTX1133, which was discovered through an extensive structure-based activity improvement shown be...

Abstract KRASG12C inhibitors, including MRTX849, are promising treatment options for KRAS-mutant non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PD-1 inhibitors approved in NSCLC; however, strategies to enhance checkpoint inhibitor therapy (CIT) needed. mutations smoking-associated transversion associated with high tumor mutation burden, PD-L1 positivity, and an immunosuppressive microenvironment. To evaluate the potential of MRTX849 augment CIT, its impact on immune signaling response CIT was...

Abstract Background: KRAS inhibitors are revolutionizing the treatment of NSCLC, but clinico-genomic determinants efficacy warrant continued exploration. Methods: Patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC treated adagrasib (KRYSTAL-1-NCT03785249) were included in analysis. Pre-treatment NGS data collected per protocol. HTG EdgeSeq Transcriptome Panel was used for gene expression profiling. Clinical endpoints objective response, progression-free and overall survival. cell lines xenograft...

Abstract Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a synthetic lethal target in cancers harboring genomic deletions of the MTAP gene, which encodes enzyme methylthioadenosine phosphorylase. Approximately one four pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases harbor homozygous deletion gene (MTAP-del), providing promising novel targeted therapy for PDAC. The (MTA)-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor BMS-986504 (previously known as MRTX1719) leverages elevated MTA levels present MTAP-del tumors...

The H1047R mutation of PIK3CA is highly prevalent in breast cancers and other solid tumors. Selectively targeting PI3KαH1047R over PI3KαWT crucial due to the role that plays normal cellular processes, including glucose homeostasis. Currently, only one PI3KαH1047R-selective inhibitor has progressed into clinical trials, while three pan mutant (H1047R, H1047L, H1047Y, E542K, E545K) selective PI3Kα inhibitors have also reached stage. Herein, we report design discovery a series...
