Pharmacology
Selpercatinib is a kinase inhibitor that selectively inhibits wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms (including gene fusions and activating point mutations) as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3, and at clinically achievable concentrations also inhibits FGFR1, 2, and 3, blocking constitutive RET signaling that acts as an oncogenic driver promoting tumor cell proliferation.
Adagrasib is an irreversible KRAS G12C inhibitor that covalently binds to the mutant cysteine residue, locking KRAS G12C in its inactive GDP-bound state and preventing downstream signaling without affecting wild-type KRAS.
