With a little help from my T friends: T cells increase efficacy of KRAS (G12D) inhibitors

Cell Rep Med. 2023 Feb 21;4(2):100950. doi: 10.1016/j.xcrm.2023.100950.

Abstract

Mutation-selective KRAS inhibitors are revolutionizing the treatment of RAS-mutant tumors but cannot achieve durable effects alone. Kemp and colleagues1 recently showed how the KRAS-G12D-specific inhibitor MRTX1133, while impairing cancer proliferation, stimulates T cell infiltration, which is crucial for sustained disease control.
