Overview

KRAS siRNA-NP is a preclinical therapeutic candidate consisting of small-interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting the KRAS oncogene, encapsulated within serum-stable, cell-penetrating, and endosomolytic peptide-based nanoparticles. Developed by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, this delivery platform is designed to overcome the traditional limitations of siRNA, such as short circulating half-life and poor cellular uptake. By specifically downregulating KRAS expression, the drug aims to inhibit tumor growth in KRAS-driven malignancies, including pancreatic and colorectal cancers. Preclinical studies in mouse models have demonstrated significant reduction in tumor volume with twice-weekly intravenous administration, showing efficient uptake by tumor cells and minimal toxicity to the liver and kidneys.
