Clinical Trials
KRAS G13D serves as an inclusion eligibility criterion in 4 clinical trials, of which 4 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials that contain KRAS G13D as an inclusion criterion, 3 are phase 1 (3 open) and 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open).
Trials with KRAS G13D in the inclusion eligibility criteria most commonly target non-small cell lung carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, malignant solid tumor, malignant colorectal neoplasm, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma [5].
Ipilimumab, nivolumab, bca101, grt-c903, and grt-r904 are the most frequent therapies in trials with KRAS G13D as an inclusion criteria [5].
