Adagrasib

Adagrasib is indicated for the treatment of adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, as determined by an FDA approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. In June 2024, the US FDA granted accelerated approval to adagrasib plus cetuximab for adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy. == History ==

Approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was based on KRYSTAL-1, a multicenter, single-arm, open-label clinical trial (NCT03785249) which included participants with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with KRAS G12C mutations. Efficacy was evaluated in 112 participants whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy and an immune checkpoint inhibitor, given either concurrently or sequentially. The FDA granted the application for adagrasib fast-track, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations. == Society and culture ==

Legal status In November 2023, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency, following a re-examination procedure, adopted a positive opinion recommending the granting of a conditional marketing authorization for the medicinal product Krazati, intended for the treatment of people with KRAS G12C mutation non-small cell lung cancer. == References ==
