What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for lung cancer, particularly those involving RAF/MEK inhibitors and KRAS G12C inhibitors, often have side effects such as fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and skin reactions. For example, the combination of dabrafenib (a BRAF inhibitor) and trametinib (a MEK inhibitor) has been associated with pyrexia, nausea, and diarrhea. Additionally, treatments like crizotinib, which targets ALK and MET, can cause peripheral edema and gastrointestinal issues. Immunotherapies such as durvalumab may lead to pneumonitis, rash, and pruritus. These side effects vary in severity and frequency, and patients should discuss potential risks and management strategies with their healthcare provider.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several targeted therapies for lung cancer, including treatments that focus on specific genetic mutations. For instance, dabrafenib plus trametinib, a combination targeting BRAF V600E mutations, has shown significant efficacy in advanced NSCLC. Additionally, adagrasib, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, is being studied in combination with avutometinib (VS-6766), which targets RAF/MEK pathways. These therapies represent a personalized approach to treating lung cancer based on specific genetic alterations.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives for lung cancer treatment in 2024 include: 1) Capmatinib and Tepotinib for MET exon-14-skipping mutations, 2) Afatinib, Dacomitinib, and Osimertinib for EGFR uncommon alterations (G719A, S768I, L861Q), and 3) Dabrafenib plus Trametinib for BRAF V600E mutations.

Summary

This trial is testing a combination of two drugs, avutometinib (VS-6766) and adagrasib, in patients with a specific type of lung cancer who have not responded to previous treatments. The drugs aim to stop the cancer cells from growing by blocking the signals that tell them to multiply. Adagrasib, a KRASG12C inhibitor, irreversibly and selectively binds KRASG12C, locking it in its inactive state.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with a specific mutation in their lung cancer (KRAS G12C) who have tried but not responded to certain treatments. They should be relatively healthy, able to perform daily activities with ease, and must not have more than three previous cancer treatments or active infections like hepatitis or HIV.

What is being tested?

The study tests the combination of two drugs, avutometinib (VS-6766) and adagrasib, on patients whose non-small cell lung cancer has worsened after initial treatment. It aims to see if this drug combo is safe and works better for these patients.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects may include typical reactions from cancer medications such as fatigue, digestive issues, skin problems, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding tendencies. Specific risks related to these drugs will be monitored closely.

Other Research

Common treatments for lung cancer often involve targeted therapies that inhibit specific genetic mutations and signaling pathways critical for cancer cell proliferation and survival. For instance, Avutometinib (VS-6766) targets the RAF/MEK pathway, while Adagrasib inhibits the KRAS G12C mutation. These targeted approaches are significant for lung cancer patients because they offer more personalized and effective treatment options, potentially leading to better outcomes and fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
