Adagrasib shows durable benefit in KRAS-mutated NSCLC


 

FROM ASCO 2022

CNS metastases

At baseline, some 42 patients had evidence of central nervous system (CNS) metastases. At a median follow-up of 15.4 months, an intracranial-confirmed objective response was achieved in one-third of this subgroup overall while median duration of the intracranial response was 11.2 months. Again, within the same subgroup, the median PFS was 5.4 months.

As Dr. Sabari noted, CNS metastases from KRAS mutant NSCLC are common. “Adagrasib demonstrated encouraging and durable CNS-specific activity in patients with KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC and active, untreated CNS metastases,” he said.

The study was funded by Mirati Therapeutics.
