• The FDA has approved Lumakras (sotorasib) combined with Vectibix (panitumumab) for treating KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer in adults after prior chemotherapy.
• CodeBreaK 300 trial data showed the combination significantly improved progression-free survival compared to standard of care in chemorefractory patients.
• Patients on Lumakras and Vectibix had a median progression-free survival of 5.6 months, compared to 2 months on standard of care, with a 26% overall response rate.
• This approval provides a new targeted treatment option for a subset of colorectal cancer patients with limited alternatives, emphasizing the importance of biomarker testing.
