Overview of the clinical trial program
The trial program for Sotorasib includes studies in several cancer types and in healthy subjects for one interaction study.[1] Most studies focus on cancers with a KRAS G12C or KRAS p.G12C mutation, which means the tumor has a specific gene change.[1]
The studies are interventional, which means patients receive a treatment and the research team measures the effects.[1] The program includes early studies that look at safety and dose, and later studies that compare how well treatments work against other options.[1]
Who can join these studies
Many trials are for adults with advanced, metastatic, locally advanced, or unresectable cancer.[1] Unresectable means the cancer cannot be removed with surgery.[1]
Some studies include people who already had treatment before, while others are for first-line treatment, which means the first treatment given for the cancer.[1] One study includes people with comorbidities, which means other health problems are also present.[1]
There is also a study in healthy subjects, but that trial is for drug interaction testing rather than cancer treatment.[1]
Trial phases and what they mean
The studies include Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and combined Phase 1/2 designs.[1] Phase 1 studies mainly check safety, tolerability, and dose finding.[1]
Phase 2 studies look more closely at how well Sotorasib helps control cancer, often by measuring tumor response or progression-free survival.[1] Phase 3 studies are larger and compare Sotorasib-based treatment with other standard treatments or treatment choices.[1]
Main cancer types being studied
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common cancer type in these trials.[1] Studies include previously treated NSCLC, first-line NSCLC, advanced NSCLC, metastatic NSCLC, and unresectable stage III NSCLC.[1]
Colorectal cancer is another major focus, including metastatic colorectal cancer, advanced unresectable colorectal adenocarcinoma, and resectable primary colorectal cancer in a pre-surgery study.[1] There is also a study in advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.[1]
One large Phase 1/2 study includes advanced solid tumors with the KRAS p.G12C mutation, which means several cancer types were eligible if they had that mutation.[1]
What the trials measure
A common endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), which is the time before the cancer gets worse or the patient dies.[1] Several studies define progression using RECIST v1.1, a standard set of rules for measuring tumor changes on scans.[1]
Another common endpoint is objective response rate (ORR), which means the percentage of patients whose tumors shrink enough to count as a response.[1] Some studies also look at overall survival (OS), which is the time from treatment start until death.[1]
Safety is also important. Some trials measure treatment-emergent adverse events, serious adverse events, dose-limiting toxicities, lab changes, and changes in vital signs or physical exams.[1] A few studies also measure pathology results after surgery, biomarkers, or resistance to treatment.[1]
Special study designs and combinations
Some trials test Sotorasib alone, while others test it with other cancer treatments such as panitumumab, chemotherapy, pembrolizumab, or avutometinib.[1] These combination studies try to see whether adding Sotorasib can improve tumor control or help in specific patient groups.[1]
One colorectal cancer study is a single-arm trial, which means everyone gets the same treatment and there is no comparison group.[1] Another study is a rollover study, which follows people who were already benefiting from earlier Amgen-sponsored studies and lets them continue treatment.[1]
The UNICORN pre-operative study looks at short-course treatment before surgery and measures major pathological response, which means how much the tumor changes in tissue samples after treatment.[1] In some cohorts, the study also checks whether surgery happens on time.[1]
