Description

For decades, the KRAS mutation was considered 'undruggable.' Now, a groundbreaking Spanish study has achieved complete tumor regression. Here is how they broke the barrier. Let's review this groundbreaking Spanish study that has successfully regressed the pancreatic cancer; while also preventing cancer's resistance to the drugs. 💙 Want to support this work? ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/DrMobeenSyed 🎥 Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/mobeensyed?fan_landing=true 💵 PayPal: https://paypal.me/mobeensyed?locale.x=en_US 📬 My Substack: https://mobeensyedmd.substack.com/ 🛑 Medical Disclaimer: This video is not intended to provide assessment, diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice; it also does not constitute provision of healthcare services.

I cared for my stepfather for two and half years until he passed away this past November from pancreatic cancer. I miss him so much. I wish this information was available sooner. But now there is hope for others….

My mom succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Seeing it up close and personal, I'm so happy progress has finally been made. Thank you Dr.. your information has been so very helpful since I've found you in 2020.

Long story short - Triplet causes complete tumor regression in mice with no resistance for >200 days (vs. 30–60 days with 1–2 drugs). Preclinical only. Daraxonrasib (RMC-6236): Blocks mutant KRAS (the main "ON" growth engine). Afatinib: Blocks EGFR family receptors (stops the first backup/upregulation escape). SD36: Blocks/degrades STAT3 (kills the orthogonal "survival-only" backup generator).

This study was done in mice and patient-derived tumor models. In the video, I explain what this does—and does not—mean for human trials and pancreatic cancer patients.

I lost my father and eldest brother, within 6 months of each other, to this awful cancer. I also lost my mother and younger sister to cancer. I had my thyroid removed from papillary cancer, so I am searching for answers to protect myself and my son and daughters. Thank you Dr for this information.
