Context: Treatment of Progressive Stage IV, Relapsed, and Recurrent NSCLC / Treatment Options for Progressive Stage IV, Relapsed, and Recurrent NSCLC (Second-Line Therapy) / KRAS G12C inhibitors (for patients with KRAS G12C variants)

Evidence (adagrasib):

KRYSTAL-1 (NCT03785249) was a phase I/II multiple expansion cohort clinical trial that investigated adagrasib (600 mg orally twice daily) in patients with advanced solid tumors. A phase II cohort of the trial included patients with NSCLC and KRAS G12C variants who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy and anti–programmed death 1 (PD-1) or anti–programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy. The cohort enrolled 116 patients; 98.3% had previously received both chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The primary end point was objective response assessed by blinded independent central review.[58][Level of evidence C3]

Among 112 evaluable patients, the confirmed objective response rate was 42.9% (95% CI, 33.5%–52.6%), including one complete response (0.9%). The median DOR was 8.5 months (95% CI, 6.2–13.8). Disease control occurred in 79.5% of patients (95% CI, 70.8%–86.5%).

Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred in 44.8% of patients and included two deaths. The most common adverse events were diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, dyspnea, increased creatinine, increased ALT, increased AST, and decreased appetite. Adverse events led to therapy discontinuation in 6.9% of patients.

The FDA approved adagrasib for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC and KRAS G12C variants, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who received at least one prior systemic therapy.[59]
