KRAS-Targeted Drug Sparks Immune Defense to Prevent Pancreatic Cancer in High-Risk People
TL;DR
Johns Hopkins researchers report that an experimental KRAS-targeting drug was safe in a phase 1 trial of 20 people at high risk for pancreatic cancer and successfully activated KRAS-specific T-cells in 90% of participants, with immune responses persisting for about two years; while no cancers or high-risk lesions progressed during follow-up, the small study was not designed to prove prevention.
