Pancreatic Cancer Cure found by Dr Mariano Barbacid

Dr. Mariano Barbacid's team at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) found a triple-drug combination that completely and durably eliminated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumors in preclinical mouse models. 
The three-drug combination consists of:
  • Daraxonrasib (RMC-6236): A targeted inhibitor for mutant KRAS (the oncogene driving over 90% of pancreatic cancers).
  • Afatinib: An approved lung cancer drug that blocks upstream EGFR signaling (which tumors often use as an escape route).
  • SD36: An experimental protein degrader targeting the STAT3 survival pathway.
