Insights

Sotorasib shows promise for treating brain metastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the KRAS p.G12C mutation. This targeted therapy may be effective even in cases with untreated or progressing brain lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Genetics

Background:

  • Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KRAS p.G12C mutation presents a therapeutic challenge.
  • The efficacy of sotorasib, a KRAS p.G12C inhibitor, was established in the CodeBreaK 100 trial, but excluded patients with active brain metastases.
  • The activity of sotorasib in the presence of brain metastases requires further investigation.
