Abstract

BBO-10203 is an orally available drug that covalently and specifically binds to the RAS-binding domain of phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (PI3Kα), preventing its activation by HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS. It inhibited PI3Kα activation in tumors with oncogenic mutations in KRAS or PIK3CA, and in tumors with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification or overexpression. In preclinical models, BBO-10203 caused significant tumor growth inhibition across multiple tumor types and showed enhanced efficacy in combination with inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6), estrogen receptor (ER), HER2 and KRAS-G12C mutant, including in tumors harboring mutations in Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) and Serine/Threonine Kinase 11 (STK11). Notably, these antitumor effects occurred without inducing hyperglycemia, as insulin signaling does not depend on RAS-mediated PI3Kα activation to promote glucose uptake.
