Gastrointestinal Cancer Overview

Bayer’s gastrointestinal cancer research spans multiple molecular targets and scientific approaches that may play a role across colorectal, esophageal, and pancreatic cancers. The current pipeline includes programs targeting KRAS-G12D, SOS1, WRN, PRMT5, and RAS-PI3Kα.

Together, these programs represent multiple scientific approaches being investigated across gastrointestinal cancers, connecting areas of research with compounds in development and their related clinical trials.
