Stronger to­geth­er? Boehringer and Mi­rati team to put first KRAS-KRAS com­bo in the clin­ic

Re­searchers are still wait­ing to see how much any of the vaunt­ed KRAS drugs now in the clin­ic can, af­ter decades of pre­clin­i­cal re­search and some ear­ly hu­man stud­ies, help pa­tients. But while they do, two of the lead­ing de­vel­op­ers will look to see whether a KRAS-KRAS com­bo might pose a bet­ter shot than any KRAS alone.

Boehringer In­gel­heim and Mi­rati have signed a col­lab­o­ra­tion to com­bine Mi­rati’s close­ly-watched lead KRAS in­hibitor, MRTX849, in a clin­i­cal tri­al with the pan-KRAS block­er that Boehringer has qui­et­ly de­vel­oped with high ex­pec­ta­tions be­hind their flashier con­tenders.
