This study provides key insights into the potential for using MEKi combined with PARPi and anti-PD-L1 for the treatment of all mutant KRAS tumors. Mutant KRAS tumors are associated with poor outcomes, at least in part, due to decreased therapeutic sensitivity. Here, we show that KRAS mutations are associated with resistance to monotherapy and combination therapy with PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and immune checkpoint blockade with anti–PD-L1 antibodies. In mutant KRAS tumors, inhibition of KRAS signaling with MEK inhibitors (MEKi) triggered and amplified PARPi-induced DNA damage, cytosolic double-stranded DNA accumulation, STING pathway activation, and CD8+ T-cell recruitment. Moreover, MEKi decreased myeloid-derived suppressor cell infiltration, in part, by inhibiting IL6 and GMCSF production. Importantly, addition of MEKi to PARPi and anti–PD-L1 resulted in marked tumor inhibition in immunocompetent mutant KRAS tumor models. This study provides the underlying mechanistic data to support evaluation of PARPi, MEKi, and anti–PD-L1 combination in clinical trials of mutant KRAS tumors. Significance: This study provides key insights into the potential for using MEKi combined with PARPi and anti–PD-L1 for the treatment of all mutant KRAS tumors.
