What is the mechanism of action of this treatment?

Common treatments for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) often involve targeted therapies that focus on specific genetic mutations within the cancer cells. Sotorasib, a KRASG12C inhibitor, binds to the mutant KRAS protein to inhibit its activity, thereby blocking the signaling pathways that drive tumor growth. RMC-4630, an SHP2 inhibitor, disrupts the RAS-MAPK signaling pathway, which is essential for cancer cell proliferation. These treatments are significant for NSCLC patients as they provide a more personalized approach, potentially improving efficacy and reducing side effects compared to conventional chemotherapy.

What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for NSCLC, particularly those targeting KRASG12C mutations like Sotorasib, include side effects such as liver function test abnormalities, diarrhea, anemia, hepatitis, and hyponatremia. Adagrasib, another KRASG12C inhibitor, shares similar side effects, including fatigue, nausea, and increased liver function tests. Serious adverse events, although less common, can include cardiac failure and pulmonary hemorrhage. For SHP2 inhibitors like RMC-4630, specific side effects are not detailed in the provided context, but they may share similar profiles with other targeted therapies, including gastrointestinal issues and liver function abnormalities.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several targeted therapies for the treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). Sotorasib, a KRASG12C inhibitor, was approved for patients with NSCLC harboring the KRASG12C mutation. Other targeted therapies include osimertinib for EGFR mutations, alectinib and crizotinib for ALK rearrangements, and entrectinib for ROS1 and NTRK fusions. Immunotherapies such as pembrolizumab and atezolizumab have also been approved for NSCLC, often in combination with chemotherapy. These treatments focus on specific genetic alterations or immune checkpoints to improve patient outcomes.

What other types of research exist?

Promising alternatives to Sotorasib and RMC-4630 for NSCLC patients include: 1) Larotrectinib and Entrectinib for patients with NTRK gene fusions, both of which have shown high response rates in early-phase trials. 2) Crizotinib for patients with ROS1 rearrangements, which has demonstrated efficacy in lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. 3) Cabozantinib, a multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which has shown activity in various cancers and may be considered for off-label use in NSCLC. These alternatives offer targeted approaches based on specific genetic alterations in NSCLC.

Summary

This trial tests sotorasib and RMC-4630 in patients with a specific type of lung cancer that hasn't responded to other treatments. The drugs work by blocking a mutation and stopping cancer cells from surviving. Sotorasib is the first approved treatment for this specific lung cancer mutation.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced or metastatic KRASG12C mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) that worsened after standard treatments. They must not have had more than three prior therapies, no brain tumors or severe heart disease, and can't have taken drugs targeting KRASG12C or SHP2 before.

What is being tested?

The study tests the combination of two drugs, RMC-4630 and Sotorasib, to see their effectiveness against NSCLC with a specific mutation (KRASG12C). It's for patients who've tried other treatments without success.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include allergic reactions to the drug components, issues from drug interactions affecting the heart or gastrointestinal system, and complications related to autoimmune diseases if previously treated.
