This is Mariano Barbacid, a Spanish cancer researcher who recently made the news after finding a cure for an aggressive form of pancreatic cancer in mice. His lab developed a new triple therapy regimen targeting the KRAS cancer pathway, implicated in 90% of pancreatic cancers. The combination of daraxonsib, a RAS(ON) inhibitor, afatinib (EGFR/HER2 inhibitor) and SD36 (a selective STAT3 PROTAC) led to complete elimination of tumour cells over a 200 day study period, bringing much needed hope to this often devastating condition.
USMLE Tip: Tafamidis isnโt in First Aid for the Boards, but Iโd be shocked if this drug doesnโt start appearing on Step exams soon (if it hasnโt already). It treats both senile (wild-type) and familial ATTR amyloidosis by stabilizing transthyretin tetramers, preventing them from breaking apart into monomers that form cardiac amyloid. When a drug directly targets the core disease mechanism like this, itโs exactly the kind of concept the USMLE loves to test.
