Abstract

Abstract RAS oncogenes (collectively NRAS , HRAS and especially KRAS ) are among the most frequently mutated genes in cancer, with common driver mutations occurring at codons 12, 13 and 61 1 . Small molecule inhibitors of the KRAS(G12C) oncoprotein have demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients with multiple cancer types and have led to regulatory approvals for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer 2,3 . Nevertheless, KRAS G12C mutations account for only around 15% of KRAS -mutated cancers 4,5 , and there are no approved KRAS inhibitors for the majority of patients with tumours containing other common KRAS mutations. Here we describe RMC-7977, a reversible, tri-complex RAS inhibitor with broad-spectrum…
