Imatinib and Trametinib for KRAS-mutated Solid Tumor
Sponsor: China Medical University Hospital
Summary
In this pilot trial, participants with unresectable solid cancers harboring KRAS mutations will be provided with a compassionate treatment if their diseases progress after current standard treatments, or there is no available standard treatment. This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of trametinib and imatinib on chemotherapy refractory solid cancers.

Interventions
Imatinib
1. Imatinib is binding to the ATP-binding site of BCR-ABL, blocking its activity and preventing uncontrolled proliferation to target the BCR-ABL fusion protein in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL). It also inhibits PDGFR and c-KIT receptors, suppressing tumor growth and angiogenesis in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). 2. Preclinical studies have shown that imatinib combined with MEK inhibitors can suppress the growth of KRAS-mutated pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
Trametinib
Trametinib inhibits the MEK1 and MEK2 enzymes, preventing the downstream phosphorylation and activation of ERK1/2, which are crucial for the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway. By blocking this pathway, trametinib reduces cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in tumor cells harboring pathway mutations.
