Mouse pancreatic tumors were significantly smaller after being treated with a combination of KRAS inhibitor MRTX1133 and ERBB inhibitor Afatinib (bottom row), compared to no treatment (top row) or being treated with Afatinib (second row) or MRTX1133 (third and fourth rows) alone.
◆この組み合わせは、KRAS阻害剤単独よりも効果的であり、耐性も少ないことが示されました。この組み合わせ治療法は、臨床試験で検証されるべきであり、膵臓癌患者にとって有望な選択肢となる可能性があります。

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with a low survival rate. Recently, new drugs that target KRASG12D, a common mutation in PDAC, have been developed. We studied one of these compounds, MRTX1133, and found it was specific and effective at low nanomolar concentrations in patient-derived organoid models and cell lines harboring KRASG12D mutations. Treatment with MRTX1133 upregulated the expression and phosphorylation of EGFR and HER2, indicating that inhibition of ERBB signaling may potentiate MRTX1133 anti-tumor activity. Indeed, the irreversible pan-ERBB inhibitor, afatinib, potently synergized with MRTX1133 in vitro, and cancer cells with acquired resistance to MRTX1133 in vitro remained sensitive to this combination therapy. Finally, the combination of MRTX1133 and afatinib led to tumor regression and longer survival in orthotopic PDAC mouse models. These results suggest that dual inhibition of ERBB and KRAS signaling may be synergistic and circumvent the rapid development of acquired resistance in patients with KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer.
