Abstract The Kirsten rat sarcoma virus—son of sevenless 1 (KRAS-SOS1) axis drives tumor growth preferentially in pancreatic, colon, and lung cancer. Now, KRAS G12C mutated tumors can be successfully treated with inhibitors that covalently block the cysteine of the switch II binding pocket of KRAS. However, the range of other KRAS mutations is not amenable to treatment and the G12C-directed agents Sotorasib and Adragrasib show a response rate of only approximately 40%, lasting for a mean period of 8 months. One approach to increase the efficacy of inhibitors is their inclusion into proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), which… More >
