Description
LY3537982 is an experimental oral medication currently being studied by Eli Lilly and Company. It is being investigated in clinical trials for patients with solid tumors that have a specific genetic mutation called KRAS G12C. In colorectal cancer, this drug is not yet approved for use. Clinical trials are ongoing to determine its safety, how well it is tolerated, and if it shows early signs of effectiveness in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated colorectal cancer. These trials are in the early phases (Phase 1), meaning the primary focus is on safety and finding the right dose.
Mechanism of Action
LY3537982 is designed to target the KRAS G12C protein, which is altered in some cancer cells. By targeting this specific protein, the drug aims to interfere with the signals that tell cancer cells to grow and divide. The specific way LY3537982 interacts with the KRAS G12C protein is being studied in clinical trials.
