SHP2 is an enzyme that sits between growth-factor receptors and RAS and keeps the RAS signal flowing. Blocking it removes the route by which KRAS-driven tumours bounce back from a KRAS inhibitor, which is why SHP2 inhibitors are being paired with KRAS G12C drugs. This dossier gathers the 1 product (0 approved), 2 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Because SHP2 relays receptor signals into RAS, inhibiting it blocks the upstream reactivation that limits KRAS inhibitors, and its role in PD-1 signalling gives a second rationale in immunotherapy combinations. Sitneprotafib is described as allosteric, with more potent anti-tumour activity than earlier SHP2 inhibitors.
