Title:

Abstract 1955: Inhibition of eIF4A by eFT226 blocks KRAS mutant tumor growth

Excerpt:
In a cell panel screen for in vitro apoptosis induction by eFT226, the most sensitive models were enriched for cell lines driven by KRAS mutations. Consistent with these results, treatment with eFT226 decreased KRAS protein levels, repressed downstream MAPK signaling, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced apoptosis in a collection of non-small cell lung, colorectal and pancreatic KRAS mutant cancer cell lines...Together, these results highlight the ability of eFT226 to inhibit growth and promote apoptosis in KRAS mutant tumors and support the clinical development of eFT226 in KRAS driven tumors.
