Sotorasib as First-line Treatment for Patients with KRAS G12C Mutant Metastatic or Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well sotorasib works as first-line treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and that has a KRAS G12C gene mutation. Sotorasib is a type of targeted therapy. It works by targeting and blocking the mutated KRAS G12C protein, which is found in tumor cells that have a mutation in the KRAS G12C gene. By blocking this protein, sotorasib may slow or stop the growth of tumor cells. Sotorasib is standard treatment for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic or recurrent NSCLC who have already received at least one systemic therapy in the past (second-line), but it has not been approved as a first-line treatment. Sotorasib may be an effective first-line treatment for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic or recurrent NSCLC.
