ABSTRACT Mutant selective drugs targeting the inactive, GDP-bound form of KRAS G12C have been approved for use in lung cancer, but responses are short-lived due to rapid development of resistance. In this study we use a novel covalent tri-complex inhibitor, RMC-4998, that targets RAS G12C in its active, GTP-bound form to investigate treatment of KRAS mutant lung cancer in various immune competent mouse models. While this RAS G12C (ON) inhibitor was more potent than the KRAS G12C (OFF) inhibitor adagrasib, rapid pathway reactivation was still observed. This could be delayed using combined treatment with a SHP2 inhibitor, RMC-4550, which not only impacted RAS pathway signalling within the tumour cells but also remodelled the tumour microenvironment (TME) to be less immunosuppressive and promoted interferon responses. In an inflamed, “hot”, mouse model of lung cancer, RAS G12C (ON) and SHP2 inhibitors in combination drive durable responses by suppressing tumour relapse and inducing development of immune memory, which can also be induced by combination of RAS G12C (ON) and PD-1 inhibitors. In contrast, in an immune excluded, “cold”, mouse model of lung cancer, combined RAS G12C (ON) and SHP2 inhibition does not cause durable responses, but does sensitise tumours to immune checkpoint blockade, enabling efficient tumour rejection, accompanied by significant TME reorganization, including depletion of immunosuppressive innate immune cells and recruitment and activation of T and NK cells. These preclinical results demonstrate the potential of the combination of RAS G12C (ON) inhibitors with SHP2 inhibitors to sensitize anti-PD-1 refractory tumours to immune checkpoint blockade by stimulating anti-tumour immunity as well as by targeting KRAS-driven proliferation in tumour cells.
