INDICATION

LUMAKRAS is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Why to test

Patients with KRAS G12C–mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC have an actionable mutation and may be eligible for LUMAKRAS following first line of therapy1

KRAS G12C and EGFR make up ~ 75% of all actionable driver mutations in NSCLC2

NCCN Guidelines

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines®) recommend testing for KRAS in all eligible patients with advanced NSCLC3,*,†,‡

  • Testing is recommended at diagnosis via a broad, panel-based approach
CAP/IASLC/AMP/ASCO Guidelines

CAP/IASLC/AMP and ASCO Guidelines recommend testing for actionable biomarkers (eg, KRAS) utilizing either a comprehensive panel or targeted testing1,4

KRAS G12C Mutation

Consider testing all eligible patients with NSCLC for KRAS G12C at diagnosis

  • While KRAS mutations are most commonly found in smokers, they can occur regardless of clinical or demographic characteristics5
  • KRAS mutations generally occur early and are stable throughout the course of the disease, as opposed to other mutations, like EGFR T790M, that may develop over time6,7

Expert Perspectives: A Case-Based Discussion on KRAS G12C Testing

Join Dr. Michelle Shiller, a molecular genetic pathologist at Baylor University, as she discusses different clinical scenarios in non-small cell lung cancer and key considerations for KRAS G12C testing.

Plan for tomorrow today. Consider testing and documenting
your patient's KRAS G12C status as a first step

*The NCCN Guidelines for NSCLC provide recommendations for individual biomarkers that should be tested and recommend testing techniques, but do not endorse any specific commercially available biomarker assays or commercial laboratories.3

†It is recommended at this time that, when feasible, testing be performed via a broad, panel-based approach, most typically performed by NGS.3

How to test

KRAS G12C can be detected in tissue and liquid biopsy specimens using well-validated common molecular testing methods8,9

Microscope

Most NGS panels already include KRAS G12C9

  • Patient OOP cost will vary depending on patient’s insurance. Average patient OOP cost: $0 for original Medicare and $65 for commercially insured patients10,11,§
KRAS G12C molecule

When ordering single-gene biomarker tests, consider adding KRAS G12C

Liquid biopsy needle

Liquid biopsy has high degrees of concordance with tissue-based testing, with 93% concordance for KRAS mutations in patients with mNSCLC8

  • Consistent efficacy results were seen in patients with KRAS G12C mutation identified in either tissue or plasma specimens12
FFPE tissue

For Pathologists: FFPE tissue is gold standard. You can test for KRAS G12C using NGS, PCR, and Sanger sequencing methods8,9

  • CAP/IASLC/AMP Guidelines also support the use of cytopathology specimens7

Call your lab and ask about your patients’ KRAS G12C status

Reporting considerations for pathologists

Reporting KRAS mutations, and specifically KRAS G12C, can vary across tumor types

Tumor types

In other tumor types, KRAS is sometimes reported as mutant or wild-type without specifying the variant13


KRAS wild-type or KRAS mutant KRAS wild-type or KRAS mutant
NSCLC

In NSCLC, specific KRAS mutations should be reported at the variant level14,††

KRAS G12C or KRAS G12D or KRAS G12V KRAS G12C or KRAS G12D or KRAS G12V

There are differences in how reports may list KRAS G12C14

Observation

There are various ways that KRAS G12C mutations can be reported, such as Gly12Cys or 12Cys15

Suggestion

For ease of interpretation, consider noting KRAS G12C in the synopsis of your report

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Hepatotoxicity

  • LUMAKRAS can cause hepatotoxicity, which may lead to drug-induced liver injury and hepatitis.
  • Among 357 patients who received LUMAKRAS in CodeBreaK 100, hepatotoxicity occurred in 1.7% (all grades) and 1.4% (Grade 3). A total of 18% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST); 6% were Grade 3 and 0.6% were Grade 4. In addition to dose interruption or reduction, 5% of patients received corticosteroids for the treatment of hepatotoxicity.
  • Monitor liver function tests (ALT, AST, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of LUMAKRAS, every 3 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase and/or bilirubin elevations.
  • Withhold, dose reduce or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on severity of adverse reaction.

Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis

  • LUMAKRAS can cause ILD/pneumonitis that can be fatal. Among 357 patients who received LUMAKRAS in CodeBreaK 100 ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 0.8% of patients, all cases were Grade 3 or 4 at onset, and 1 case was fatal. LUMAKRAS was discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 0.6% of patients.
  • Monitor patients for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever). Immediately withhold LUMAKRAS in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified.

Most common adverse reactions

  • The most common adverse reactions ≥ 20% were diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, fatigue, hepatotoxicity, and cough.

Drug interactions

  • Advise patients to inform their healthcare provider of all concomitant medications, including prescription medicines, over‑the‑counter drugs, vitamins, dietary and herbal products.
  • Inform patients to avoid proton pump inhibitors and H2 receptor antagonists while taking LUMAKRAS.
  • If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, inform patients to take LUMAKRAS 4 hours before or 10 hours after a locally acting antacid.

INDICATION

LUMAKRAS is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C‑mutated locally advanced or metastatic non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as determined by an FDA‑approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).
