What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new treatment called sotorasib, a targeted therapy for individuals with advanced solid tumors that have the KRAS p.G12C mutation. The main goal is to assess the drug's safety and determine the optimal dose for future studies. Participants will receive either sotorasib alone or in combination with other treatments, depending on their specific trial group. Those diagnosed with advanced cancer that includes the KRAS p.G12C mutation and who can take oral medication might be suitable for this study. As a Phase 1 trial, the research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people, offering participants a chance to be among the first to receive this new therapy.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether 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 sotorasib, a treatment for certain advanced solid tumors, offers promising safety results. In one study, patients with a specific gene change called the KRAS p.G12C mutation (found in some cancers) experienced positive anti-cancer effects without severe side effects.

Another study found that sotorasib was generally well-tolerated, with most side effects being mild to moderate, indicating that the treatment is manageable for many patients.

Additionally, the FDA has already approved sotorasib for certain lung cancers, which adds confidence about its safety.

For those considering joining a trial, this information helps clarify the potential risks and benefits of sotorasib. However, discussing all options with a healthcare provider is important. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?

Researchers are excited about sotorasib because it targets the KRAS p.G12C mutation, which is a common driver in many advanced solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This mutation has been notoriously difficult to target until now. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, which attacks all rapidly dividing cells, sotorasib specifically blocks the KRAS protein, potentially leading to more effective and less toxic treatments. Additionally, sotorasib can be combined with other therapies, such as anti-PD-1/L1 drugs, offering a promising approach to enhance treatment response.

What evidence suggests that sotorasib could be an effective treatment for advanced solid tumors?

Research has shown that sotorasib is effective against cancer in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a specific gene mutation called KRAS p.G12C. In this trial, participants will be assigned to different treatment arms to evaluate sotorasib's effectiveness. Some participants will receive sotorasib as monotherapy, while others will receive it in combination with drugs that help the immune system fight cancer. In one study, many patients experienced tumor shrinkage, indicating that sotorasib might work well. Another analysis found that sotorasib significantly extended the time patients lived without cancer progression, compared to other treatments, in those with KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Overall, sotorasib is being studied as a promising option for people with specific gene mutations in their tumors. ^{1 2 4 5 6}

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Sotorasib (AMG 510)

Trial Overview

The trial is testing Sotorasib's safety and how well it works in treating solid tumors with the KRAS mutation. It will also determine the highest dose patients can tolerate without severe side effects, as well as an optimal phase 2 dose.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Phase 2 monotherapy dose comparison Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Subjects with NSCLC will be enrolled in a dose comparison study evaluating safety and efficacy

Group II: Phase 1 monotherapy treatment naive advanced NSCLC Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Separate cohort of part 1 dose expansion subjects to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of sotorasib administered orally once daily in subjects with previously untreated advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Drug-drug interaction will be evaluated in 6 of the subjects enrolled in the treatment naive cohort by adding Midazolam alone on Day -1 and in combination with sotorasib on Day 15 of Cycle 1, where each cycle is 21 days.

Group III: Phase 1 combination arm with sotorasib and anti PD-1/L1 Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Additional subjects will be enrolled into the combination arm with sotorasib in combination with an anti (PD-1/L1)

Group IV: Phase 1 Dose Exploration Part 1 monotherapy Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Cohorts with food effect and alternative dosing regimens Enrollment into the dose exploration cohorts may be from any eligible solid tumor type. Dose escalation will begin with 2-4 subjects treated at the lowest planned dose level of 180 mg. If no DLT is observed, dose escalation will continue to the next planned dose cohort

Group V: Phase 1 Dose Expansion Part 2 monotherapy Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Upon completing the dose exploration part of the study, dose expansion may proceed with 3 groups consisting of subjects with KRAS p.G12C mutant advanced solid tumors. Dose expansion in these 3 groups may be done concurrently

Group VI: Phase 1 Does escalation and Expansion monotherapy BID Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

BID 2L+solid tumors (fed state)

Published Research Related to This Trial

Sotorasib is an irreversible small molecule inhibitor specifically targeting the KRAS G12C mutation, which is found in 13% of lung adenocarcinomas, and has shown significant tumor regression in preclinical studies and clinical trials.

In a reported case, a patient with metastatic KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC responded remarkably well to sotorasib as a first-line therapy, suggesting its potential as an effective initial treatment option for this type of cancer, particularly in patients with additional health challenges.

Sotorasib as First-Line Treatment for Advanced KRAS G12C-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Case Report. Iska, S., Alley, EW.[2023]

Sotorasib and adagrasib, both KRAS G12C-targeting agents, have shown promising efficacy in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with sotorasib achieving an overall response rate of 41% and a progression-free survival of 6.3 months, while adagrasib had an overall response rate of 42.9% and a progression-free survival of 6.5 months.

Both drugs have received accelerated FDA approval and are now recommended as second-line treatment options for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, although they come with common side effects like diarrhea and fatigue, highlighting the need for further studies to refine their use.

Sotorasib Edges Closer to Approval. [2021]

Sotorasib (LUMAKRAS™) is an innovative treatment specifically targeting KRAS G12C mutations in solid tumors, particularly effective for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer.

In May 2021, sotorasib received accelerated approval from the US FDA for adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have undergone at least one prior treatment, marking a significant milestone in cancer therapy.

Sotorasib: First Approval. Blair, HA.[2022]

In a study of 102 patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC, those who received sequential anti-PD-(L)1 therapy before sotorasib treatment experienced significantly higher rates of severe adverse events (AEs), with 50% of the sequence group reporting severe AEs compared to only 13% in the control group.

Severe hepatotoxicity was particularly concerning, occurring in 67% of patients in the sequence group, which was three times more frequent than in the control group, highlighting the need to avoid starting sotorasib within 30 days of the last anti-PD-(L)1 infusion.

In a phase 2 trial involving 126 patients with KRAS p.G12C-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sotorasib demonstrated a 37.1% objective response rate, including complete responses in 3.2% of patients, indicating its efficacy in this difficult-to-treat population.

The treatment was associated with a median overall survival of 12.5 months and a median progression-free survival of 6.8 months, with manageable safety profiles, as 69.8% of patients experienced treatment-related adverse events, mostly of grade 3 severity.
