A Registry to Capture Patient Outcomes With KRAS G12R Altered Advanced Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Treated With MEK Inhibitor-based Combination Therapy

April 29, 2026 updated by: Mandana Kamgar, MD
This is an observational precision oncology study designed to collect and analyze data that allows us to characterize the safety and efficacy of several different mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitor (MEKi) -based treatment strategies and the feasibility of administering MEKi combination therapies to patients with KRAS G12R mutated advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patient medical records, obtained both retrospectively and prospectively, will be examined for results of molecular profiling obtained through standard of care testing to help understand how well KRAS G12R pancreatic patients respond to MEKi-based combination matched therapy. Patient outcome parameters including but not limited to tumor response, patient survival, and toxicity will be analyzed. Moreover, metrics will be collected to ascertain whether a future clinical trial involving a MEKi-based combination therapy is feasible to carry out.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Therapy with no MEKi
Subjects have advanced PDAC with KRAS G12R mutation. Subjects' tumors must have KRAS G12R mutation, as determined by a next generation sequencing (NGS) panel or circulating tumor DNA panel of choice of the treating physician. Subjects will receive therapy with no MEKi.
This cohort will receive combination therapy with no MEKi.
Other Names:
  • mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor
Therapy with MEKi- Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)
Subjects have advanced PDAC with KRAS G12R mutation. Subjects' tumors must have KRAS G12R mutation, as determined by a next generation sequencing (NGS) panel or circulating tumor DNA panel of choice of the treating physician. Subjects will receive therapy with MEKi and HCQ.
This cohort will receive combination therapy with MEKi-HCQ.
Other Names:
  • mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor with hydroxychloroquine
Therapy with MEKi- Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRi)
Subjects have advanced PDAC with KRAS G12R mutation. Subjects' tumors must have KRAS G12R mutation, as determined by a next generation sequencing (NGS) panel or circulating tumor DNA panel of choice of the treating physician. Subjects will receive combination therapy with MEKi and EGFRi.
This cohort will receive combination therapy with MEKi-EGFRi.
Other Names:
  • mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor
Therapy with MEKi-Other
Subjects have advanced PDAC with KRAS G12R mutation. Subjects' tumors must have KRAS G12R mutation, as determined by a next generation sequencing (NGS) panel or circulating tumor DNA panel of choice of the treating physician. Subjects will receive combination therapy with MEKi and a specified drug combination.
This cohort will receive combination therapy with MEKi.
Other Names:
  • mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase inhibitor

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The number of subjects with no progression.
Time Frame: 6 months
This is defined as the time from the start of treatment until six months on treatment, or disease progression, as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, or death, whichever occurs first.
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures
