Target Attractiveness Snapshot

Biology

Target & Disease MCP describes SHP2 as a tyrosine phosphatase acting downstream of receptor and cytoplasmic kinases, positively regulating MAPK signaling and modulating EGFR, GAB1, ROCK2, CDC73, SOX9, and T-cell receptor signaling through PD-1 recruitment.

Disease Context

In NSCLC, SHP2 is being tested as a combination partner for KRAS G12C inhibitors and EGFR-targeted therapy.

Strategy

Differentiate through combination tolerability, pathway suppression biomarkers, and selection of KRAS- or EGFR-defined populations.

Overall Target Evaluation Score: 77/100

 

  • Biology: MAPK pathway biology is strong and clinically relevant.
  • Clinical validation: Clinical Trials MCP returned 30 NSCLC trials and 2 released result records.
  • Competition: Competition is active, especially in KRAS G12C NSCLC.
  • White space: White space depends on combination safety and biomarker-defined resistance settings.

Biology and Disease Rationale

SHP2 is a non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase encoded by PTPN11. Target & Disease MCP links it to signaling from receptor and cytoplasmic kinases to the nucleus, positive MAPK pathway regulation, EGFR and GAB1 dephosphorylation, and PD-1-mediated T-cell signaling inhibition. That dual role makes it relevant in both tumor-intrinsic signaling and immune context.

Clinical Trials MCP returned SHP2 NSCLC trials including KRAS G12C combination studies, GH21 plus osimertinib in NSCLC, BBP-398 plus osimertinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC, and a Phase 3 comparison of JAB-21822 plus JAB-3312 versus standard of care in first-line KRAS p.G12C NSCLC.

Validation and Clinical Competition

KRAS G12C Phase 3JAB-21822 plus JAB-3312 is recruiting in first-line advanced KRAS p.G12C NSCLC.
KRAS combination resultClinical Trials MCP indexed RMC-4630 plus sotorasib Phase 2 in KRAS G12C NSCLC after standard therapy.
Positive front-line signalGlecirasib plus JAB-3312 was indexed as a positive Phase 1/2 front-line treatment result in KRAS p.G12C NSCLC.
EGFR resistance angleBBP-398 and GH21 combinations with osimertinib show SHP2 interest beyond KRAS G12C disease.

IP and Competitive Strategy

SHP2 IP should compare allosteric inhibitor chemotypes, KRAS G12C and EGFR combination claims, dose schedules that manage toxicity, biomarkers for pathway rebound, and tumor-immune combination hypotheses.

Recommendation

SHP2 is a credible RAS/MAPK combination target in NSCLC. The best programs will prove tolerability and pathway suppression in a genetically defined setting rather than relying on broad MAPK-pathway rationale alone.

Bottom line: This SHP2 Target Evaluation Report is generated from PatSnap MCP data. PTPN11 / SHP2 is a central RAS/MAPK signaling node in NSCLC, with clinical development focused on KRAS G12C combinations, EGFR-mutant resistance, and pathway-feedback suppression.
