LY3537982

Peng SB, et al¹; Kano Y, et al²; Janes MR, et al³; Ji J, et al⁴

Target

KRAS is the most common oncogene across all tumor types. KRAS G12C represents a KRAS mutation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (14%), colorectal cancer (3%), and other solid tumors (1%-3%).⁴

Molecule

LY3537982 is a selective covalent inhibitor of KRAS G12C; in preclinical models, it demonstrates activity as monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer therapies. It has competitive pharmacokinetic properties supporting its advancement into clinical testing. LY3537982 has been shown in vitro to target a KRAS G12C mutation, thereby inhibiting mutant KRAS-dependent signaling.¹

Clinical Development

LY3537982 is being studied in a clinical trial in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, or other advanced solid tumors.
