KRAS N116S
Biomarker-Directed Therapies
KRAS N116S is a predictive biomarker for use of afatinib, dacomitinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, osimertinib, cetuximab, and panitumumab in patients.
Of the therapies with KRAS N116S as a predictive biomarker, 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 N116S or its related pathways [5].
