Daisuke Kotani, GI Medical Oncologist, Chief Physician at the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at the National Cancer Center Hospital East, Japan, shared a post on X about a paper by Eric Haines et al. published in Nature Cancer:

“The MEK-RAF molecular glue IK-595 Nature Cancer.

  • Traps MEK-RAF complexes to prevent CRAF-mediated reactivation
  • Wider therapeutic window: efficacy with transient exposure and lower toxicities.
  • Potent in KRAS/BRAF-mutant CRC.”
