Adagrasib + Nab-Sirolimus for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment for individuals with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific genetic change called a KRAS G12C mutation. The study combines two drugs, adagrasib (also known as Krazati or MRTX-849) and nab-sirolimus (also known as Sirolimus albumin-bound nanoparticles, ABI-009, FYARRO, Nab-rapamycin, or TARZIFYX), to evaluate their safety and effectiveness in treating the cancer. The focus is on individuals whose cancer has spread or cannot be surgically removed and who have no other curative treatment options. Those aware of having this genetic mutation and meeting these conditions might be suitable for the trial. As a Phase 1 trial, the research aims to understand how the treatment works in people, offering participants the opportunity to be among the first to receive this new treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that adagrasib, when used alone, is generally safe for patients with advanced solid tumors. In one study, patients took 600 mg of adagrasib twice a day, and it proved safe with some positive effects on tumors. Nab-sirolimus also has a strong safety record, particularly for certain tumors with genetic changes.
Both treatments have been tested separately, but their combined use is still under investigation. Direct data on the safety of this combination is not yet available, but ongoing research focuses on ensuring its safety for patients. This trial is in its early stages, primarily assessing safety and determining the correct dose. Since adagrasib and nab-sirolimus have been safe individually, researchers remain hopeful about their combined safety.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about the combination of Adagrasib and nab-Sirolimus for non-small cell lung cancer because it targets the KRAS G12C mutation, which is a specific genetic alteration driving tumor growth. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which attacks all rapidly dividing cells, Adagrasib specifically inhibits the abnormal KRAS protein, potentially leading to fewer side effects and more effective targeting of cancer cells. Additionally, nab-Sirolimus is a nanoparticle form of sirolimus, which enhances delivery and absorption in the body, potentially improving its efficacy against cancer cells. This combination approach offers a novel mechanism of action that could provide a more targeted and potentially more effective treatment option for patients with this mutation.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for non-small cell lung cancer?
Research has shown that adagrasib yields promising results in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the KRAS G12C mutation. In earlier studies, adagrasib reached the brain and showed positive effects in patients with this type of lung cancer. In this trial, participants will receive a combination of adagrasib and nab-sirolimus. This combination aims to attack cancer cells more effectively by targeting multiple pathways of cancer growth. Although these findings are still early, they suggest that this treatment could offer new hope for patients with advanced NSCLC.12356

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have a specific genetic change called KRAS G12C mutation. They should not be candidates for surgery to remove the tumor and must not have any other curative treatment options available. Their body's major functions need to be stable, and they must have measurable signs of cancer according to certain medical criteria.Inclusion Criteria
