JAB-21822
A drug being studied in colorectal cancer trials. It appears in 5 clinical trials.
What it is
JAB-21822 is a KRAS G12C inhibitor designed to target colorectal cancers harboring the specific KRAS G12C mutation. This targeted therapy represents a precision medicine approach for CRC patients whose tumors carry this particular oncogenic mutation. The drug is administered in combination with other agents including JAB-3312, standard chemotherapy with bevacizumab, or cetuximab depending on the treatment protocol.
How it works
JAB-21822 works by selectively binding to and inhibiting the KRAS G12C mutant protein, which drives tumor growth and survival in approximately 3-5% of colorectal cancers. By targeting this specific mutant form of KRAS while sparing the wild-type protein, the drug aims to block downstream signaling pathways that promote cancer cell proliferation and survival.
