Structure of BI-3406
1 min read

BI-3406 is a compound which binds to SOS1, preventing it from activating the oncoprotein KRAS. While inhibition of WT-KRAS and MEK alone are anticipated to be toxic, the combination of a SOS1 inhibitor with a MEK inhibitor appears to have a broader therapeutic index due to synergy in KRAS-driven tumors. A related undisclosed SOS1 inhibitor, BI 1701963, is in clinical development alone and in combination with a MEK inhibitor.
