What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests the effectiveness of sotorasib for individuals with a specific type of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a KRAS G12C mutation. The goal is to determine if this targeted treatment can halt cancer cell growth. Individuals with stage IV or recurrent non-squamous NSCLC with the KRAS G12C mutation, who have already tried other treatments, may be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 2 trial, the research focuses on assessing the treatment's effectiveness in an initial, smaller group of participants.

Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you must not have received any systemic therapy, including chemotherapy or immunotherapy, within 21 days before joining the trial. Also, you cannot use strong inducers of CYP3A4 or CYP3A4 sensitive substrates within 14 days before and during the trial. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.

Is there any evidence suggesting that Sotorasib is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that sotorasib is generally safe for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have a specific mutation called KRAS G12C. In previous studies, researchers controlled any major risks by adjusting the dose of sotorasib.

Real-world studies indicate that patients usually tolerate sotorasib well. Common side effects include diarrhea and other mild reactions, which are typically manageable. Overall, sotorasib appears to be a safe option for individuals with this type of lung cancer mutation. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Sotorasib is unique because it specifically targets a genetic mutation known as KRAS G12C, which is found in about 13% of non-small cell lung cancer cases. Most current treatments for this condition, like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, do not specifically target this mutation. Sotorasib works by inhibiting the abnormal signaling pathways driven by KRAS G12C, potentially leading to more effective and personalized treatment outcomes. Researchers are excited about sotorasib because it offers a targeted approach, providing new hope for patients with this previously hard-to-treat mutation.

What evidence suggests that Sotorasib might be an effective treatment for non-small cell lung cancer?

Research has shown that sotorasib can help treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the KRAS G12C mutation. In studies, 41% of patients experienced tumor shrinkage or halted growth. On average, this improvement lasted about 12.3 months. Patients typically lived around 12.5 months after starting treatment, with the cancer not worsening for about 6.3 months. Compared to the usual treatment, docetaxel, sotorasib demonstrated longer overall survival. These findings suggest that sotorasib, which participants in this trial will receive, could be a promising option for people with this specific type of lung cancer. ^{2 6 7 8 9}

Published Research Related to This Trial

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]

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 Edges Closer to Approval. [2021]

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.
