Is 2025 going to be the year Pan-RAS inhibitors make it into the clinic? Pan-RAS inhibitor shows early/deep molecular response (and 36% response rate) for G12X mutated pancreatic cancer. (Significant AEs: rash, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting) dailynews.ascopubs.org/do/pan-ras-inh…

Results from the phase II study of zenocutuzumab in #NRG1 fusion+ cancers now NEJM. RR 30% with DOR 11.1m, PFS 6.8m, favorable safety profile. These cancers do not respond well to standard therapy. Zeno FDA approved for NSCLC, pancreatic cancer. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Immediately practice changing and deserves discussion with each pt! The first RCT supporting structured exercise after adjuvant therapy for colon cancer. It’s striking how exercise improves survival, especially compared to drugs with FDA approval and payer support. 👀 #ASCO25
