Targeted Therapy in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Current Advances and Challenges.
A targeted drug helped some pancreatic cancer patients with specific RAS mutations survive longer than standard chemotherapy, offering hope for personalized treatment approaches.
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal solid malignancies, with poor survival driven by late presentation, aggressive tumor biology, and limited responsiveness to conventional ... In the randomized phase III RASolute 302 trial, the multiselective RAS inhibitor daraxonrasib improved survival compared with chemotherapy in previously treated metastatic disease with oncogenic RAS mutations.
