  • Research summary

    Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world.NSCLC treated with standard of care chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy in the advanced or metastatic setting has a poor prognosis.Screening for predictive biomarkers has become increasingly important for NSCLC & has transformed patient outcomes.
    Recently, several KRAS G12C inhibitors have been developed & studied in this population however, these have modest activity and there is a clear need to improve outcomes with a potentially more efficacious KRAS G12C inhibitor with acceptable safety profile & tolerability.
    The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy & safety of divarasib, a (KRAS G12C) inhibitor, compared to locally approved KRAS G12C inhibitors (sotorasib or adagrasib) in patients with KRAS G12C+ advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been previously treated with standard of care treatments in the advanced or metastatic setting.
    Divarasib is an oral, covalent, anticancer therapeutic agent that selectively inhibits only the G12C mutant KRAS receptor.Sotorasib and adagrasib are small molecules that irreversibly inhibits KRAS G12C similar to divarasib.Divarasib has been shown to be 5 to 20 times as potent & up to 50 times as selective in vitro as sotorasib and adagrasib.
    Divarasib has been investigated as a monotherapy & in combination with other anticancer therapies.It was found to have promising anticancer activity in patients with KRAS G12C+ solid tumours, inc NSCLC, & also demonstrated an acceptable safety profile.The important potential risks of gastrointestinal toxicities, laryngeal irritation, & elevation of hepatic transaminases were monitorable, manageable, & reversible.
    This study will recruit 320 patients globally with 39 in the UK across 15 sites.
    The study will last more than 4 years after the last patient is entered.
    The study is sponsored by F. Hoffmann- La Roche
