KRAS G12V
Biomarker-Directed Therapies
KRAS G12V is a predictive biomarker for use of afatinib, dacomitinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, osimertinib, cetuximab, and panitumumab in patients.
Of the therapies with KRAS G12V as a predictive biomarker, 2 are FDA-approved and 7 have NCCN guidelines in at least one clinical setting.
Non-small cell lung carcinoma and colorectal carcinoma have the most therapies targeted against KRAS G12V or its related pathways [5].

Clinical Trials
KRAS G12V serves as an inclusion eligibility criterion in 6 clinical trials, of which 5 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials that contain KRAS G12V as an inclusion criterion, 3 are phase 1 (3 open) and 3 are phase 1/phase 2 (2 open).
Trials with KRAS G12V in the inclusion eligibility criteria most commonly target non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and cancer [5].
Cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, ipilimumab, nivolumab, and grt-c903 are the most frequent therapies in trials with KRAS G12V as an inclusion criteria [5].
