“…Because its reintroduction into the clinic in 2015, several cohorts of HRAS-mutant patients have been treated in a single-arm phase II trial (NCT02383927), with encouraging preliminary findings. As reported in 2018 (45,50), among 7 evaluable patients with HNSCC, 5 (71%) achieved a confirmed partial response with a median duration of response of 14.1 months. Importantly, no HRAS-mutant HNSCC patient experienced an objective response on his last therapy prior to receiving tipifarnib (including platinum, immunotherapy and cetuximab AE chemotherapy regimens).…”

“…This observation might be important for the design of targeted therapy trials in the perioperative setting of UTUC or in the selection of the tumor types to include in umbrella and basket studies. As an example, tipifarnib was effective in treating HRAS-mutant head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma in a phase 2 trial [24].…”

“…Inhibition of farnesyl transferase activity produced antitumor activity in preclinical models of SCC of the skin with HRAS mutations, an antitumor effect that was not observed in models with NRAS or KRAS mutations (57). Tipifarnib, a farnesyl transferase inhibitor is currently tested in a phase 2 study in advanced tumors with activating mutations of HRAS (58). Preliminary reports of 7 evaluable SCCHN showed 5 patients (71%) achieving a partial response with a median duration of response of 14.1 months.…”
