I did fulfurinox most of 2022 prior to my pancreadectomy and liver resection. NED for about 6 months then a small spot showed up. When on Gem/abraxane. For me, a KRAS G12D, TP53 patient, it has minimal results but got me to an ablation to remove spot about 4 months later.

NED again for about 7 months. Then did RM 6236/9805 phase 1 trial. Effective for about 6 months until progression at my liver resection area. Interestingly, once off that and new scans, a pulmonary embolism and small spot showed in my lung. SBRT eradicated it (was it even cancer?). Now working on liver spot with Naliri and just finished SBRT.

I share all of this to wonder has anyone figured out which drugs are better for KRAS G12D? Gem or Folfuri?? Or is it the oxy/cisplatin that does the trick?

I am also at a crossroads and will be meeting with 3 noted doctors over the next few weeks. I would suggest you speak with Dr Kamgar at Wisconsin. I met her at a Seena Magowitz event and she was very impressive and doing some creative approaches that seem to have great validity with repurposing drugs already FDA approved.

Recent pre-clinical studies on mice exposed to large amounts of oxaliplatin resulted in tumor conversion which is what was suspected in what happened in my case of dealing with stage IV disease and then able to eradicate minimal residual disease. It was found that the oxaliplatin caused immunologically cold tumors to exhibit neoantigens on the surface of the tumors. This made them recognizable by various immune system cells-two important ones were TCR lymphocytes and CD8+ memory T cells which surveil the body for several years to clear MRD from tissues and organs as well as the circulation. I did 24 cycles of Folfirinox at full dose.
