• Are there patient sub‐populations who need the triplet (anti‐MEK)?

• What to do after progression? HER2 (ERBB2) targeting in mCRC HER2 in mCRC

HER2 mutations clustered in TK, JM, TM, and EC domains. Mutations in the domain (L755S, V842I, D769Y, and K753E) increase kinase activity and are resistance to both anti-HER2 antibodies and small-molecule HER2 kinase inhibitors Mutations in the ECD, such as S310F and S310Y, lead to the increased dimerization of HER2 and subsequent signaling – Remain sensitive to both trastuzumab and HER2 TKIs Case report of patient with RAS WT metastatic CRC and a concurrent HER2 amplification and HER2 S310F mutation who responded to trastuzumab/lapatinib and briedly to T-Dxd

Most mutations are in glycine12 (G12), glycine13 (G13), and glutamine61 (Q61).

These mutations prevent GAPs from accessing GTP so that hydrolysis is blocked, resulting in a persistently activated GTP‐bound state

Merz, Front. Oncol., 11 March 2021 KRAS G12C in mCRC and inhibitors

Drugs targeting KRAS directly are challenging to develop because of its small size, smooth surface, and strong binding affinity for GTP (and high amount of GTP present in cells)

Sotorasib forms an irreversible, covalent bond with the residue of KRAS G12C, holding the protein in its inactive GDP bound

Adagrasib is also a covalent inhibitor of KRASG12C that irreversibly and selectively binds KRASG12C in its inactive, GDP‐bound state

KRAS has a protein resynthesis half life of 24 hrs (AMG510) CodeBreak100: Study Design

Presented By John Strickler at 2020 ESMO World GI Adagrasib in mCRC

Hypothesis: Despite activity of KRASG12C inhibition, reactivation of RAS/MAPK pathway signaling may occur through adaptive feedback mediated by EGFR Combining adagrasib with cetuximab, an EGFR inhibitor, may enhance inhibition of KRASdependent signaling or overcome adaptive feedback and improve clinical outcomes

Taberno, ESMOGI 2021 Summary

• HER2 targeted therapies for HER2+ mCRC, while not FDA approved yet, are NCCN guideline listed • mBRAF/EGFR targeting improves PFS and OS compared with chemotherapy plus cetuximab and is FDA approved and NCCN guideline listed. • RAS targeting is finally a reality (at least for KRAS G12C) and other RAS inhibitors are in development as are combinations
