Akari Therapeutics announced preclinical data showing their antibody drug conjugate AKTX-101, with a novel RNA spliceosome modulator payload, synergizes with KRAS inhibitors to kill KRAS-mutated pancreatic cancer cells more effectively. This combination demonstrated enhanced cytotoxicity in models with KRAS G12D and G12C mutations, unlike traditional ADCs which showed antagonism. The findings support AKTX-101's potential to improve treatment for difficult KRAS-driven cancers and pave the way for a Phase 1 clinical trial planned for mid-2027. This novel approach targets RNA splicing, offering a new therapeutic strategy beyond current cancer treatments.
