Inhibition of both mutant and wild-type RAS-GTP in KRAS G12C colorectal cancer through cotreatment with G12C and EGFR inhibitors
Abstract
The combination of KRAS G12C inhibitors with EGFR inhibitors has reproducibly been shown to be beneficial. Here, we reveal a new benefit of this combination: it effectively inhibits both wild-type and mutant RAS. A role for WT RAS inhibition has not previously been reported for this important combination of targeted therapies. We believe that targeting both mutant and wild-type RAS helps explain why this combination of inhibitors is effective.
