Clinical Trials
KRAS G12D serves as an inclusion eligibility criterion in 9 clinical trials, of which 8 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials that contain KRAS G12D as an inclusion criterion, 6 are phase 1 (6 open) and 3 are phase 1/phase 2 (2 open).
Trials with KRAS G12D in the inclusion eligibility criteria most commonly target malignant solid tumor, non-small cell lung carcinoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, and malignant colorectal neoplasm [5].
Ipilimumab, nivolumab, bca101, eli-002, and grt-c903 are the most frequent therapies in trials with KRAS G12D as an inclusion criteria [5].
