Sotorasib: A Review in KRAS G12C Mutation-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Sotorasib (LUMAKRAS™ in the USA and LUMYKRAS™ in the EU) is an orally active, first-in-class G12C-mutant KRAS (KRAS^G12C) inhibitor. By binding irreversibly to KRAS^G12C, sotorasib inhibits downstream signalling pathways which are associated with cell growth and differentiation. Sotorasib is indicated for the treatment of adults with advanced, previously treated, KRAS G12C mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in multiple countries, including the countries of the EU and the USA. A clinically relevant objective response rate was observed in patients with KRAS G12C mutation-positive NSCLC during the primary analysis and in an updated analysis of the phase I/II CodeBreaK 100 trial. Furthermore, a clinically relevant response duration was reported in updated analyses of the trial. Sotorasib has a manageable tolerability profile, with permitted dose modifications to manage toxicity. In summary, sotorasib is a promising KRAS^G12C inhibitor that increases the available treatment options for patients with KRAS G12C mutation-positive NSCLC who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy.
