Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

The researchers are doing this study to see if sotorasib is a safe and effective treatment for people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a KRAS G12C mutation who have not received treatment for their cancer since it became advanced. (Participants have not received a "first-line therapy" since their cancer became advanced.)

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot use certain medications that affect liver enzymes (CYP3A4 and P-gp substrates) within 14 days before starting the trial unless approved by the principal investigator.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Sotorasib for lung cancer?

Sotorasib has shown promising results in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a specific KRAS mutation, known as KRAS G12C. In clinical trials, it has demonstrated the ability to shrink tumors in a significant number of patients and has been approved for use in those who have already tried other treatments.12345

How is the drug Sotorasib unique for treating lung cancer?

Sotorasib is unique because it is the first drug specifically designed to target and inhibit the KRAS G12C mutation, which is a common mutation in non-small cell lung cancer. It works by blocking the signals that promote cancer cell growth, offering a new option for patients who have already tried other treatments.12345

Findings from Research

Sotorasib is a first-in-class oral medication that specifically targets the KRAS G12C mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), showing a clinically relevant objective response rate in patients during the CodeBreaK 100 trial.
The drug has a manageable safety profile, allowing for dose adjustments to handle any side effects, making it a valuable treatment option for patients with advanced KRAS G12C mutation-positive NSCLC who have already undergone other therapies.
Sotorasib: A Review in KRAS G12C Mutation-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.Lee, A.[2022]
Sotorasib is the first commercially available KRASG12C inhibitor, showing promise in improving outcomes for patients with KRASG12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is prevalent among smokers.
Despite its potential, there are ongoing questions about sotorasib's effectiveness in the brain, optimal dosing, and how it compares to standard treatments, highlighting the need for further research on resistance mechanisms and combination therapies.
An evaluation of sotorasib for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with KRASG12C mutations.Strohbehn, GW., Sankar, K., Qin, A., et al.[2022]
In the phase II CodeBreak 100 trial, the KRASG12C inhibitor sotorasib showed promising efficacy, with over one-third of patients with non-small cell lung cancer responding to the treatment.
Patients treated with sotorasib experienced a median progression-free survival of nearly 7 months, supporting its potential as a significant therapeutic option for this type of cancer.
