Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This study will assess the safety and efficacy of avutometinib (VS-6766) in combination with sotorasib with or without defactinib in patients with KRAS G12C Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in patients who have been exposed to prior G12C inhibitor and those who have not been exposed to prior G12C inhibitor.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial requires that you stop taking any strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers (types of drugs that affect how your body processes medications) at least 14 days before starting the study and during the trial. Other medications are not specifically mentioned, so it's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team.

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

Sotorasib has been shown to be effective for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a specific KRAS mutation, with a 36% response rate in patients who had already tried other treatments. This suggests that sotorasib, as part of the combination with Avutometinib, may offer benefits for similar lung cancer cases.

Is the combination of Avutometinib and Sotorasib safe for humans?

Sotorasib, also known as Lumakras, has been approved for treating certain lung cancers and is generally considered safe, though common side effects include diarrhea, muscle pain, nausea, fatigue, liver issues, and cough. There is no specific safety data available for the combination of Avutometinib and Sotorasib, but Sotorasib alone has a manageable safety profile.

12367
What makes the drug Avutometinib + Sotorasib unique for lung cancer?

The combination of Avutometinib and Sotorasib is unique because it targets KRAS G12C mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with Sotorasib being the first approved drug specifically for this mutation. This combination may offer a new option for patients who have already undergone other treatments.

Sotorasib: First Approval. [2022]Sotorasib (LUMAKRAS™) is a RAS GTPase family inhibitor being developed by Amgen for the treatment of solid tumours with KRAS mutations, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer. In May 2021, sotorasib was granted accelerated approval by the US FDA for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of sotorasib leading to this first approval for KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC.
Sotorasib: A Review in KRAS G12C Mutation-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. [2022]Sotorasib (LUMAKRAS™ in the USA and LUMYKRAS™ in the EU) is an orally active, first-in-class G12C-mutant KRAS (KRASG12C) inhibitor. By binding irreversibly to KRASG12C, 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 KRASG12C 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.
FDA Approval Summary: Sotorasib for KRAS G12C-Mutated Metastatic NSCLC. [2022]On May 28, 2021, the FDA granted accelerated approval to sotorasib (Lumakras, Amgen) for the treatment of adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a Kirsten rat sarcoma proto-oncogene (KRAS) G12C mutation who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. The approval was based on CodeBreaK 100 (Study 20170543), a dose-escalation and dose-expansion trial in patients with an advanced, KRAS G12C-mutated, solid tumor. The overall response rate (ORR) observed in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC treated with sotorasib (n = 124) was 36% [95% confidence interval (CI), 28-45]. The median duration of response was 10.0 months (95% CI, 6.9-not estimable). The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, fatigue, hepatotoxicity, and cough. This is the first approval of a targeted therapy for KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC. Because of pharmacokinetic data and ORRs of patient cohorts who took sotorasib at lower doses in the dose-escalation portion of CodeBreaK 100, a dose comparison study is being conducted as a post-marketing requirement.
Sotorasib as First-Line Treatment for Advanced KRAS G12C-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma: A Case Report. [2023]Mutations in the KRAS gene are the most common gain-of-function mutations found in lung adenocarcinomas. The most common mutation, KRAS G12C, is present in 13% of lung adenocarcinomas. Sotorasib (AMG-510) is an irreversible small molecule inhibitor targeting KRAS G12C. In preclinical studies, treatment with sotorasib led to the regression of KRAS G12C-mutated tumors, and clinical efficacy in NSCLC was demonstrated in clinical trials. In May 2021, sotorasib received US FDA approval for treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. In this report, we present a case with metastatic, KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who responded favorably to sotorasib as first-line therapy. The efficacy of sotorasib as first-line treatment in this patient was remarkable, which supports further study of sotorasib as first-line therapy for KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC, especially in fragile patients with comorbidities.
