First data for sotorasib in patients with pancreatic cancer with KRAS p.G12C mutation: A phase I/II study evaluating efficacy and safety
Abstract
360490 Background: KRAS mutation is present in 90% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas with p.G12C accounting for 1% to 2% of these mutations. Sotorasib, a small molecule that specifically and irreversibly inhibits KRAS G12C, has been investigated in the CodeBreaK100 trial in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced solid tumors. Herein, we report on the largest dataset evaluating efficacy and safety of a KRAS G12C inhibitor in patients with pretreated KRAS G12C-mutated pancreatic cancer. Methods: CodeBreaK100 (NCT03600883) is an international, single arm, phase I/II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of sotorasib in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced solid tumors with ≥ 1 prior systemic therapy unless intolerant or ineligible for available therapies. The primary efficacy endpoint is confirmed objective response rate (ORR), assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints include duration of response (DoR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS). Results: As of November 1, 2021, 38 patients with pancreatic cancer (mean age: 65 years, 76.3% male) from the combined phase I/II study received sotorasib 960 mg once daily. Stage IV disease was present in 55.3% of patients at diagnosis, and in all patients at enrollment. Baseline ECOG scores were 0, 1, or 2 in 31.6%, 57.9%, and 10.5% of patients, respectively. Most patients (79%) had ≥ 2 prior lines of therapy (median: 2 [range: 1-8]). Median treatment duration was 4.1 months with a median follow-up of 16.8 months. Eight patients had confirmed partial response by BICR with a resulting ORR of 21.1% (95% CI: 9.55%-37.32%). DCR was 84.2% (Table 1). Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade occurred in 16 (42.1%) patients. Grade ≥ 3 TRAEs occurred in 6 patients: diarrhea (2); fatigue (2); abdominal pain, ALT increase, AST increase, pleural effusion, and pulmonary embolism (1 each). No TRAEs were fatal or resulted in sotorasib discontinuation. Conclusions: Sotorasib demonstrated clinically meaningful anticancer activity and tolerability in patients with heavily pretreated KRAS G12C-mutated advanced pancreatic cancer, who have limited treatment options and poor prognosis. Clinical trial information: NCT03600883. [Table: see text]

In CodeBreaK 100, the PDAC cohort had an ORR of 21.1% and DCR of 84.2% in 38 heavily pretreated patients, whereas the CRC cohort of 62 patients had an ORR of 9.7%.
“data from the PDAC cohort of CodeBreaK 100 showed an ORR of 21.1% and a DCR of 84.2% in a heavily pretreated patient population (n = 38)78. However, similar success was not seen in the CRC cohort (n = 62), in which the ORR was 9.7%79.”

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.
