KRAS / RAS targeting: from platform to Phase 3
First-generation G12C drugs (sotorasib, adagrasib) bind KRAS in the off state.
Body
Happening now at #AACR26: Simon Bayle, PhD, shares how ULK1/2 inhibition may enhance KRAS-targeted therapies and help overcome resistance.
Key Findings:
• Structure-based drug design identified MR-2088 as a lead ULK1/2 inhibitor
• MR-2088 demonstrated synergy with sotorasib, enhancing tumor reduction in KRAS G12C NSCLC models
• Resistance appears driven by pathway dysregulation rather than clonal selection
• Alterations in metabolic and MYC signaling pathways align with drug-tolerant persister states
