BBO-10203 is an orally available drug that covalently and specifically binds to the rat sarcoma (RAS)–binding domain of phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (PI3Kα), preventing its activation by HRAS, NRAS, and KRAS. Here, it inhibited PI3Kα activation in tumors with oncogenic mutations in KRAS or PIK3CA and in tumors with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) amplification or overexpression. In preclinical models, BBO-10203 caused significant tumor growth inhibition across multiple tumor types and showed enhanced efficacy in combination with inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6), estrogen receptor (ER), HER2, and KRAS-G12C mutant, including in tumors harboring mutations in Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) and serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11). Notably, these antitumor effects occurred without inducing hyperglycemia, because insulin signaling does not depend on RAS-mediated PI3Kα activation to promote glucose uptake.
