Additionally, Sotorasib increased TXNIP expression by regulating the RAS/RAF/ERK axis. This study uncovers the mechanism by which Sotorasib inhibits glucose metabolism in KRASG12C mutant bladder cancer cells and suggests a potential therapeutic benefit for the treatment of KRASG12C mutant bladder cancer.

Elucidation of the 3.1 Å cryo-EM structure of P1B7 bound to a haptenated KRAS G12C peptide-MHC I complex confirmed that the Sotorasib-modified KRAS G12C peptide is presented via a canonical binding pose and showed that P1B7 binds the complex in a T-cell receptor-like manner. Together, these findings demonstrate the potential value of targeting unique oncoprotein-derived, haptenated MHC I complexes with radioligand therapeutics and provide a structural framework for developing next generation antibodies.

Although once thought to be "undruggable", KRAS p.G12C inhibitors such as sotorasib and adagrasib have been developed. This paper focuses on adagrasib, the second KRAS p.G12C inhibitor to obtain regulatory approval by the FDA and describes the details on its study design, development and current place in therapy.

Importantly, treatment of mice with FGTI-2734 inhibited sotorasib-induced ERK reactivation in KRAS G12C PDX, and treatment of mice with the combination of FGTI-2734 and sotorasib were also significantly more effective at suppressing in vivo the levels of P-ERK in sotorasib-resistant human KRAS G12C lung cancer xenografts as well as a PDX. Our findings provide a foundation for overcoming sotorasib resistance and potentially improving the treatment outcomes of KRAS G12C lung cancer.

Sotorasib was granted accelerated FDA approval for the treatment of KRASG12C-mutated locally advanced/metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. This review summarizes the pharmacology, clinical efficacy, adverse effects, and clinical considerations of sotorasib.

Although most adverse effects are reversible, vigilance is warranted particularly for nephrotoxicity and hepatotoxicity during the administration of KRAS G12C inhibitors.

Our study highlights the critical need for blocking both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms of resistance for the prolonged response and shows that such treatment is ineffective in KRASG12Ci-AcR tumors.

The development of KRAS-targeted drugs like sotorasib and adagrasib has generated significant excitement in the clinical arena, offering new therapeutic options. However, the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in this context still requires comprehensive evaluation. The response to anti-Programmed Cell Death Protein 1/Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 Ligand (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) drugs in NSCLC may be significantly influenced by co-occurring mutations, underscoring the need for a personalized approach to treatment based on the specific genetic profile of each tumor.

Noteworthy, CodeBreaK100 and KRYSTAL-1 clinical trials have recently demonstrated that sotorasib and adagrasib, two novel selective KRASG12C inhibitors, have clinical activity with acceptable adverse-event profile for the treatment of advanced NSCLC patients with KRASG12C mutation. In this paper, we describe the role of KRAS mutations in NSCLC focusing on the clinical and molecular characteristics which potentially identify specific subtypes of NSCLC patients based on different KRAS mutations. We also provide an overview of the main clinical trials testing novel selective KRASG12C inhibitors as well as novel potential therapeutic strategies for NSCLC patients with non-G12C KRAS mutations.

The subtle differences observed, particularly in PFS, could inform clinical decision-making, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment strategies. Future research should focus on long-term effects and identifying patient subgroups that may benefit more from one drug over the other.

The clinical success of KRASG12C inhibitors (G12Ci) including AMG510 and MRTX849 is limited by the eventual development of acquired resistance...We found the ferroptosis inducers including sorafenib and lapatinib stood out with an obvious growth inhibition in the G12Ci resistant cells...Ferroptosis induced by sulfasalazine (SAS) achieved obvious inhibition on the tumor growth of xenografts derived from AMG510-resistant KRASG12C-mutant cells. Collectively, our results suggest a novel therapeutic strategy to treat patients bearing G12Ci resistant cancers with ferroptosis inducers.

Recently, an emergency approval from the US-FDA has been issued for KRASG12C inhibitors (sotorasib and adagrasib) for metastatic lung cancer treatment. Moreover, because KRASG12D and KRASG12V are more common than KRASG12C, focus must be placed on the therapeutic strategies for this type of patient, along with sustained efforts in research on these targets. In the present review, we try to focus on various strategies to overcome rapid resistance through the use of combinational treatments to improve the activity of KRASG12C inhibitors.

The Phase III KRYSTAL-12 trial demonstrated that adagrasib significantly improved median progression-free survival (mPFS) compared with docetaxel (HR, 0.58; 95% CI: 0.45-0.76; P<0.0001) and increased the intracranial objective response rate (ORR) to 40% in the central nervous system (CNS) evaluable population. This paper evaluates the clinical efficacy of adagrasib in KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC discussing its potential advantages over other inhibitors such as sotorasib. Despite not reaching the 6-month mPFS benchmark, adagrasib offers significant clinical benefits, particularly for the management of CNS metastases. In this pros and cons debate, we argue that adagrasib has broken the KRAS G12C enigma code in NSCLC.

Moreover, USP7 inhibitors suppress NSCLC cell proliferation, particularly in cells resistant to the KRAS-G12C inhibitor AMG510. In conclusion, our findings identify USP7 as a key deubiquitinase regulating RAS stability, and targeting USP7 is a promising strategy to counteract KRAS inhibitor resistance in NSCLC.

Notably, patients harboring the G12C variant responded favorably to sotorasib medication. These results underscore the importance of mutational profiling and targeted therapeutic approaches in managing NSCLC, particularly highlighting the promising efficacy of sotorasib in G12C-mutated cases.

Herein, we propose a programmable strategy by sequential delivery of pirfenidone (PFD) and nanoengineered KRAS specific inhibitor (AMG510) and gemcitabine (GEM) liposomes. The molecular mechanisms elucidated that the stroma intervention and KRAS signal pathway regulation reshaped the immunosuppression of PDAC and optimized cytotoxic T-cell-mediated antitumor immunity with sustained antitumor memory. Overall, our study provides a practical strategy with clinical translational promise for immunologically cold tumor PDAC treatment.

This case emphasizes the poor prognosis of patients with PSC due to a lack of therapeutic response to chemotherapy, radiation, and, as seen in this case, current targeted therapy as well. Our case emphasizes the need to further evaluate therapeutic responses of targeted therapy in this rare subtype of NSCLC.

Mutant KRAS therapeutics are limited, while Sotorasib and Adagrasib were the only FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of KRASG12C mutated NSCLC. Conclusively, we have designed and developed a dual targeting (MSLN & CEA) CAR protein towards KRAS-mutated PDAC using computational approaches. Alongside, we further recommend to engineer this designed CAR in T-cells and evaluating their therapeutic efficiency in in vitro and in vivo studies in the near future.

ADT-1004 demonstrated superior efficacy over sotorasib and adagrasib in tumor models involving human PDAC cells resistant to these KRAS G12C inhibitors. As a pan-RAS inhibitor, ADT-1004 has broad activity and potential efficacy advantages over allele-specific KRAS inhibitors by averting resistance. These findings support clinical trials of ADT-1004 for KRAS mutant PDAC.

Investigation of the response of KRASG12C PDOs to sotorasib demonstrates that the model can examine the efficacy of treatments to suppress metastasis and identify mechanisms of drug resistance. Finally, our PDO model cocultured with autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells can potentially be used to determine the optimal immune-priming strategy for individual patients with LUAD.

The recent approval of KRASG12C inhibitors, adagrasib and sotorasib, has validated KRAS as a direct therapeutic target and demonstrated the feasibility of selectively targeting specific RAS mutants. Despite these challenges, new approaches have generated optimism about targeting specific RAS mutations in an allele-dependent manner for cancer therapy, supporting by compelling biochemical and structural evidence, which inspires further exploration of RAS allele-specific vulnerabilities. This review will discuss recent advances and challenges in the development of therapies targeting RAS signaling, highlight emerging therapeutic strategies, and emphasize the importance of allele-specific approaches for leukemia treatment.

Analyses of sotorasib- and MRTX1133-resistant cells showed that trametinib plus fedratinib reversed the resistance to sotorasib or MRTX1133. These findings suggest that the JAK2-mediated pathway and reactivation of the MAPK pathway may play key roles in resistance to KRAS inhibitors in pancreatic cancers. Accordingly, simultaneous inhibition of KRAS, MEK, and JAK2 could be an innovative therapeutic strategy against KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer.

Our findings would provide valued evidence for healthcare professionals to recognize AEs associated with KRAS (G12C) inhibitors and differences between sotorasib and adagrasib, and guide their clinical practice.

Although the advent of sotorasib and adagrasib, has lifted the "undruggable" stigma of KRAS, the resistance to KRAS inhibitors quickly becomes a major issue. Meanwhile, we established that GTF2I is dephosphorylated at S784 via ERK by KRAS inhibitors, which hinders its nuclear translocation and mediates ALDH1A1's upregulation in response to KRAS inhibitors. In summary, the results offer valuable insights into targeting ALDH1A1 to enhance the effectiveness of KRAS-targeted therapy through ferroptosis in cancer treatment.

Patients receiving sotorasib reported less severe symptoms than those receiving docetaxel. In addition to improving clinical efficacy outcomes, sotorasib maintained QOL versus docetaxel, suggesting sotorasib may be a more tolerable treatment option for patients with pretreated, KRAS G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC.
