Anticancer Efficacy of KRASG12C Inhibitors Is Potentiated by PAK4 Inhibitor KPT9274 in Preclinical Models of KRASG12C-Mutant Pancreatic and Lung Cancers
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC10690049
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The text discusses the KRAS G12C and G12D mutations in the context of cancer cell lines, indicating that these variants are associated with tumorigenic properties, particularly highlighting the specific response of KRASG12C to treatment. Predictive: The evidence suggests that the presence of the KRAS G12C mutation predicts a positive response to the drug combination of MRTX849 and KPT9274, as indicated by the synergistic growth inhibition observed in KRASG12C-mutant cell lines. Functional: The study demonstrates the functional impact of KRAS G12C and G12D mutations on cell growth and drug response, showing that KRASG12C-mutant cells are sensitive to specific inhibitors while KRASG12D-mutant cells are not.
