Description
Preclinial data from KRAS mutant colorectal cancer cell lines show syngergistic effect on cell viability and apoptosis in vitro and in vivo when MEK and IGF-IR are inhibited concomitantly. In other cell lines, activation of other RTKs (such as MET) were observed upon MEK Inhibition and combination of RTKi and METi also showed synergistic activity. A total of 16 cell lines were used in this study. 6 were KRAS wild type, and 10 harbored various KRAS mutations (G12C, G12D, G12V, G13D, and Q61L). Additional data was obtained from xenografts.
