Biomarker-Directed Therapies
KRAS Q61E is a predictive biomarker for use of afatinib, dacomitinib, erlotinib, gefitinib, osimertinib, cetuximab, and panitumumab in patients.
Of the therapies with KRAS Q61E 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 Q61E or its related pathways [5].

Clinical Trials
KRAS Q61E serves as an inclusion eligibility criterion in 3 clinical trials, of which 1 is open and 2 are closed. Of the trials that contain KRAS Q61E as an inclusion criterion, 2 are phase 1 (1 open) and 1 is phase 2 (0 open).
Trials with KRAS Q61E in the inclusion eligibility criteria most commonly target acute myeloid leukemia [5].
Akt inhibitor gsk2141795, binimetinib, cytarabine, idarubicin, and trametinib are the most frequent therapies in trials with KRAS Q61E as an inclusion criteria [5].
Significance of KRAS Q61E in Diseases
Acute Myeloid Leukemia +
KRAS is altered in 3.87% of acute myeloid leukemia patients [4].
KRAS Q61E is an inclusion criterion in 2 clinical trials for acute myeloid leukemia, of which 0 are open and 2 are closed. Of the trials that contain KRAS Q61E and acute myeloid leukemia as inclusion criteria, 1 is phase 1 (0 open) and 1 is phase 2 (0 open) [5].
