KIF18A inhibition and its rising role in cancer therapy trials: from bench to bedside

KIF18A inhibition represents a mechanistically grounded, tumor-selective strategy for treating CIN-driven cancers. As clinical trials progress, optimizing patient stratification and exploring synergistic combinations will be crucial. Broadening the range of druggable sites on KIF18A, especially beyond the motor domain, could mitigate resistance and help expand therapeutic potential.

Abstract

KIF18A inhibition represents a mechanistically grounded, tumor-selective strategy for treating CIN-driven cancers. As clinical trials progress, optimizing patient stratification and exploring synergistic combinations will be crucial. Broadening the range of druggable sites on KIF18A, especially beyond the motor domain, could mitigate resistance and help expand therapeutic potential.
