FDA Approval Summary: Sotorasib for KRAS G12C -Mutated Metastatic NSCLC
Open accessAbstract
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.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
