Researchers at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center found that resistance to KRAS-targeted cancer therapies is linked to persistent cell-cycle activity in cancer cells, which can be overcome by combining RAS inhibitors with CDK4/6 or CDK2 inhibitors to produce more durable tumour control.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can now explore combining KRAS inhibitors with CDK4/6 or CDK2 blockers to tackle resistance that halts treatment success. This opens a new path to extending patient response times and could set a new standard in cancer drug regimens.
