1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

MRTX1133 is the first noncovalent inhibitor against the KRASG12D mutant that demonstrated specificity and potency in preclinical tumor models. Here, we used isogenic cell lines expressing a single RAS allele to evaluate the selectivity of this compound. In addition to KRASG12D, MRTX1133 showed significant activity against several other KRAS mutants as well as wild-type KRAS protein. In contrast, MRTX1133 exhibited no activity against both G12D and wild-type forms of HRAS and NRAS proteins. Functional analysis revealed that the selectivity of MRTX1133 toward KRAS is associated with its binding to H95 on KRAS, a residue that is not conserved in HRAS and NRAS. Reciprocal mutation of amino acid 95 among the three RAS paralogs resulted in reciprocal change in their sensitivity toward MRTX1133. Thus, H95 is an essential selectivity handle for MRTX1133 toward KRAS. Amino acid diversity at residue 95 could facilitate the discovery of pan-KRAS inhibitors as well as HRAS and NRAS paralog-selective inhibitors. SIGNIFICANCE: The nonconserved H95 residue on KRAS is required for the selectivity of the KRASG12D inhibitor MRTX1133 and can be exploited for the development of pan-KRAS inhibitors.
