Aadi Bioscience Announces Improved Anti-Tumor Activity of KRAS Inhibitors in Combination with Nab-sirolimus at the 34th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aadi Bioscience, Inc. (NASDAQ: AADI), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing precision therapies for genetically-defined cancers with alterations in mTOR pathway genes, today presented preclinical combination data of KRAS inhibitors and nab-sirolimus at the 34th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium. Nab-sirolimus is a novel albumin-bound nanoparticle form of the mTOR inhibitor sirolimus and is approved for the treatment of locally advanced unresectable or metastatic malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa).
- The mTOR pathway is often activated in patients with the KRAS mutation and contributes to adaptive resistance to KRAS inhibitors.
- This study investigated the preclinical antitumor activity of mTOR inhibitors nab-sirolimus or everolimus in combination with sotorasib or adagrasib in KRASG12C-mutated cancer xenografts.
- "These preclinical results demonstrate that nab-sirolimus has the potential to significantly improve the antitumor activity of adagrasib or sotorasib, two of the most promising KRAS inhibitors today.
- In contrast, everolimus in combination with the KRAS inhibitors was not as effective.
