Ahmet Dirican: KRAS G12D Was Considered Untouchable For Years, But Not Anymore

Ahmet Dirican, Professor of Medical Oncology at Medicana International İzmir Hospital, shared a post on X:

“For years, KRAS G12D was considered untouchable. Not anymore.

In this phase 1 study published in NEJM, the first-in-class KRAS G12D degrader setidegrasib (ASP3082) was evaluated in previously treated advanced NSCLC and pancreatic cancer harboring KRAS G12D mutations.

Key results at the 600 mg RP2D:

  • NSCLC ORR: 36%
  • NSCLC median PFS: 8.3 months
  • Pancreatic cancer ORR: 24%
  • Pancreatic cancer median OS: 10.3 months

My take:

After KRAS G12C, this may represent one of the next major breakthroughs in RAS-targeted therapy.

If confirmed in larger studies, KRAS G12D inhibition could address a major unmet need – potentially becoming a transformative step especially in pancreatic cancer.”
