- The Phase 1/2 PROSPER clinical trial is currently evaluating FMC-376 in patients with KRASG12C cancers, regardless of prior KRAS inhibitor therapy BOSTON and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Frontier Medicines Corporation, a clinical-stage precision medicine company seeking to unlock the proteome to advance transformational therapies against otherwise undruggable disease-causing targets, today presented new preclinical data on its KRASG12C inhibitor, FMC-376, at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego, California. The new findings demonstrate FMC-376’s potential to overcome known mechanisms of innate and acquired resistance and in a CNS model of metastasis as a monotherapy and increase the efficacy of PD-1 immunotherapy in combination.

Key Points: 
  • “These data demonstrate FMC-376’s unmatched potential to overcome over 90 percent of known resistance mechanisms, including those cancers that have become refractory to approved KRAS inhibitors.
  • The differentiated dual direct mechanism of action of FMC-376 offers the potential to overcome the resistance and lack of response seen with current KRASG12C single-acting treatments.
  • These results reinforce that FMC-376 has the potential to overcome limitations of single-acting KRASG12C inhibitors.
  • The combination of FMC-376 with an immune checkpoint inhibitor also leads to an increased response and survival in preclinical models.
