KRAS inhibitors in drug resistance and potential for combination therapy

Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS) is a potent target for cancer therapy because it acts as a signaling hub, engaging in various signaling pathways and regulating a number of cellular functions like cell differentiation, proliferation, and survival. Recently, an emergency approval from the US-FDA has been issued for KRASG12C inhibitors (sotorasib and adagrasib) for metastatic lung cancer treatment.
