What happens when you actually DEGRADE KRAS G12D in pancreatic cancer? At #AACRPanc26 we shared translational analyses of setidegrasib, the first-generation KRAS G12D degrader. @AstellasUS 15 paired tumor biopsies let us watch the biology change in patients: Successful deep KRAS protein degradation.✏️ →↓ MAPK signaling → tumor-immune remodeling including Fas/FasL, Granzyme B+ CD8 T cells & PD-L1 → distinct primary + acquired resistance biology! → rational mFOLFIRINOX and maybe immune combinations? Parallel virtual patient and patient-derived organoids experiment from @orakldotbio predicting the human clinical trial outcomes independently. What should we do next? Patient → biopsies 💉→ biology 🧫→ model → combination → back to patient Huge thanks to our coauthors, Shilpa Kadam @anup_kasi @MacarullaTeresa and research teams and above all the courageous patients who made this work possible. #KRAS #KRASG12D #PDAC #PancreaticCancer #TranslationalResearch #GRIT #sPARKlab @MSK_DeptOfMed @MSKCancerCenter @CpcrMsk @oncodaily @OncoDailyGI @OncBrothers @PanCAN @lustgartenfdn @Pankind_Aus @NatPancFdn @EileenMOReilly – at Coronado, CA

Congrats to @AyanaTRuffin on this exciting @CR_AACR paper on #celltherapy #CpG #TLR9 collaboration with @IAmDrDex @Chrystal_Paulos @PennCancer @WinshipAtEmory
New from @AyanaTRuffin and our team @PaulosLab @LesinskiLab in Cancer Research: TLR9 agonism boosts T cell therapy by activating B cells that provide critical CD2 costimulation: improving tumor control. A powerful B cell–T cell partnership. 🧬 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4240…

Very nice resource paper in @Cancer_Cell that enables correlation of cell type specific expression data with survival in #PancreaticCancer. cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltex… Takes TCGA type datasets based on bulk RNA to the next level. Interactive web tool (ctPANDA) allows facile queries.
