Mutated KRASas a promising target in pancreas cancer: PURPLE registry data to inform real-world incidence and prognostic significance and to aid trial recruitment

Abstract

11150 Background: With around 90% KRASmutation (mt) frequency, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is considered the most RAS-addicted cancer. Despite guideline recommendations, genomic testing is not routine in all PDAC patients (pts) in Australia, due to unproven clinical impact. As more novel KRAS-direct therapeutics enter clinical trials, understanding the real-world frequency of individual mutations and prognostic significance, and facilitating trial recruitment are important goals, all of which can be supported by registry data. Methods: Data extracted from the PURPLE pancreatic cancer registry from 9 participating Australian cancer centres, between 2016-2022, was analysed to comp..
