Mechanisms of response and tolerance to active RAS inhibition in KRAS-mutant NSCLC
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Resistance to inactive state-selective RASG12C inhibitors frequently entails accumulation of RASGTP, rendering effective inhibition of active RAS potentially desirable. Here, we evaluated the anti-tumor activity of the RAS(ON) multi-selective tri-complex inhibitor RMC-7977 and dissected mechanisms of response and tolerance in KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC. Broad-spectrum, reversible RASGTP inhibition with or without concurrent covalent targeting of active RASG12C yielded superior and differentiated antitumor activity across diverse co-mutational KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC mouse models of primary or acquired RASG12C(ON) or (OFF) inhibitor resistance. Interrogation of time-resolved single cell transcriptional responses established an in vivo atlas of multi-modal acute and chronic RAS pathway inhibition in the NSCLC ecosystem and uncovered a regenerative mucinous transcriptional program that supports long-term tumor cell persistence. In patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC, the presence of mucinous histological features portended poor response to sotorasib or adagrasib. Our results have potential implications for personalized medicine and the development of rational RAS inhibitor-anchored therapeutic strategies.
