Introduction: Recent advances in the treatment of -mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have led to the development of KRAS inhibitors, such as sotorasib and adagrasib. However, resistance and disease progression remain significant challenges. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic potential of combining trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), an anti-HER2 antibody-drug conjugate, with sotorasib in -mutant NSCLC, while also evaluating HER2 expression in NSCLC samples.

In 1982, the RAS genes HRAS and KRAS were discovered as the first human cancer genes, with KRAS later identified as one of the most frequently mutated oncogenes. Yet, it took nearly 40 years to develop clinically effective inhibitors for RAS-mutant cancers. The discovery in 2013 by Shokat and colleagues of a druggable pocket in KRAS paved the way to FDA approval of the first covalently binding KRAS inhibitors, sotorasib and adagrasib, in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system. Currently, treatment strategies for bladder cancer remain limited, highlighting the urgent need to explore novel therapeutic approaches. Sotorasib, the first successful small molecule drug targeting KRAS, has been approved for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but it has not yet been studied in bladder cancer.

The Kirsten rat sarcoma viral (KRAS) oncogene is the most frequently mutated isoform of RAS, associated with 85 % of RAS-driven cancers. KRAS functions as a signaling hub, participating in various cellular signaling pathways and regulating a wide range of important activities, including cell proliferation, differentiation, growth, metabolism, and migration. Despite being the most frequently altered oncogenic protein in solid tumors, over the past four decades, KRAS has historically been considered "undruggable" owing to a lack of pharmacologically targetable pockets within the mutant isoforms.

RAS family variants-most of which involve KRAS-are the most commonly occurring hotspot mutations in human cancers and are associated with a poor prognosis. For almost four decades, KRAS has been considered undruggable, in part due to its structure, which lacks small-molecule binding sites. But recent developments in bioengineering, organic chemistry and related fields have provided the infrastructure to make direct KRAS targeting possible.
