Can Targeted Therapy for KRAS Mutations Double as Part of Immunotherapy?

The new approach takes advantage of the natural process by which cells break down proteins into fragments called peptides.

Drug Turns Cancer Gene Into an “Eat Me” Flag for the Immune System

Promising research shows that marking the mutated KRAS protein of cancer cells can signal the immune system to destroy that cancer.

Experimental KRAS Inhibitor Shrinks Lung Tumors

The median progression- free survival time was 6.5 months, and the median overall survival time was 12.6 months.

Targeted Drug Achieves 43% Response Rate in KRAS-Mutated Lung Cancer

Experimental KRAS inhibitor adagrasib also shows activity against lung cancer that has spread to the brain.

A new KRAS drug binds to a hidden pocket in the mutant protein, inactivating it.

KRAS Inhibitor May Offer Long-Term Benefit for Lung Cancer Patients

Two-year follow-up showed that Lumakras prolonged treatment response and had a favorable safety profile.

Top 10 Cancer Science Highlights of 2021

A look back at some of the most important science and treatment news Cancer Health covered this year.

Leading Efforts Against KRAS, the “Undruggable” Cancer Target

Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation scientists work to develop drugs for people with KRAS-driven cancers.

Most Lung Cancer Patients Who Never Smoked Have Targetable Mutations

Targeted therapies are available for eight tumor mutations, highlighting the importance of genomic testing.

First KRAS Drug Now Available

Lumakras (sotorasib) was granted accelerated approval for the treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

First KRAS-Blocking Drug Approved for Advanced Lung Cancer

Lumakras led to tumor shrinkage in 36% of NSCLC patients with KRAS G12C mutations.

Behind the Breakthroughs

The theme of this issue is the science underlying advances in cancer care and treatment.

Sotorasib Shrinks Lung Cancer

More than 80% of lung cancer patients treated with the targeted therapy experienced remission or had stable disease.

KRAS-Blocking Drug Sotorasib Shrinks Lung Tumors

More than 80% of lung cancer patients treated with the targeted therapy experienced remission or had stable disease.

Scientists Are Working on mRNA Vaccines for HIV, Flu, Cancer and More

The technology used in COVID-19 vaccines may also be used to prevent other viral infections and to treat cancer and multiple sclerosis.

Promising KRAS Drugs

Sotorasib and adagrasib target a specific cancer-causing mutation found in those with non-small-cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
