KRAZATI (adagrasib) Demonstrated Statistically Significant Improvement in Progression-Free Survival in Patients with Pretreated Locally Advanced or Metastatic KRASG12C-Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

First presentation of data from Phase 3 KRYSTAL-12 study showed statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival with KRAZATI compared to standard of care chemotherapy

Late-breaking data featured in an oral presentation at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting

Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced results from the Phase 3 KRYSTAL-12 study evaluating KRAZATI® (adagrasib) compared to standard of care chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic KRASG12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had previously received platinum-based chemotherapy, concurrently or sequentially with anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. At a median follow-up of 9.4 months, KRAZATI demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival (PFS), the study’s primary endpoint, as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) compared to docetaxel (HR: 0.58; [95% CI, 0.45-0.76]; P <0.0001). Median PFS was 5.5 months for KRAZATI compared to 3.8 months for docetaxel. Overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by BICR was also significantly higher with KRAZATI compared to docetaxel (32% vs 9%; odds ratio, 4.68; P < 0.0001). The median duration of response (mDOR) was 8.31 months (95% CI, 6.05–10.35) versus 5.36 months (95% CI, 2.86–8.54), respectively.

KRAZATI demonstrated intracranial response among patients with central nervous system (CNS) metastases at baseline, with a response rate per BICR that was more than double that observed with docetaxel (24% with KRAZATI vs. 11% with docetaxel).

The KRYSTAL-12 study remains ongoing to assess the additional key secondary endpoint of overall survival.

No new safety signals were identified for KRAZATI, and the safety data were consistent with the known safety profile. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of any grade were reported in 94% of patients treated with KRAZATI and 86.4% with docetaxel. Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 47% and 46% of patients, respectively.

These data will be presented in a late-breaking oral presentation during the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting on June 1 at 1:27 p.m. CDT (Abstract LBA8509).

“Approximately 14% of all patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer carry the KRASG12C mutation, impacting thousands of people worldwide,” said Tony Mok, M.D., Chairman of the Department of Clinical Oncology and Li Shu Fan Medical Foundation Professor of Clinical Oncology of the Faculty of Medicine at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CU Medicine). “These results from the Phase 3 KRYSTAL-12 study reinforce adagrasib as a targeted option for patients with KRASG12C-positive lung cancer after failing standard first-line treatment.”

“The accelerated approval of KRAZATI from the FDA in 2022 was welcome news for patients with KRASG12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. These confirmatory results further support KRAZATI as an efficacious, targeted treatment option for these patients,” said Abderrahim Oukessou, M.D., vice president, global program lead, KRAZATI, Bristol Myers Squibb. “We look forward to further sharing these results, while also continuing to evaluate KRAZATI in other advanced KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors.”

In addition to KRASG12C-mutated NSCLC, KRAZATI and KRAZATI-based combinations have shown encouraging, meaningful benefit in Phase 2 clinical trials across several tumors, including advanced colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other solid tumors.

Bristol Myers Squibb thanks the patients and investigators involved in the KRYSTAL-12 clinical trial.

About KRYSTAL-12

KRYSTAL-12 is an open-label, multicenter, randomized Phase 3 study evaluating KRAZATI compared to standard-of-care chemotherapy alone, in patients with KRASG12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. The primary endpoint of the study is progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DOR), and safety.

About KRASG12C -Mutated Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths globally. The two main types of lung cancer are non-small cell and small cell. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most common types of lung cancer, representing up to 84% of diagnoses. KRASG12C is the most common KRAS mutation in NSCLC, present in approximately 14% of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, and is a biomarker of poor prognosis.

About KRAZATI® (adagrasib)

KRAZATI (adagrasib) is a highly selective and potent oral small-molecule inhibitor of KRASG12C that is optimized to sustain target inhibition, an attribute that could be important to treat KRASG12C-mutated cancers, as the KRASG12C protein regenerates every 24-48 hours. KRASG12C mutations act as oncogenic drivers and occur in approximately 14% of non-small cell lung cancer, 3-4% of colorectal cancer, and 1-2% of several other cancers.

In 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted KRAZATI accelerated approval for treatment of adult patients with KRASG12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic 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 objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of a clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

KRAZATI continues to be evaluated as a monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies in patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutated solid tumors, including NSCLC and colorectal cancer (CRC).

  • In the pooled safety population, serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions observed were gastrointestinal obstruction in 1.6%, including 1.4% grade 3 or 4, gastrointestinal bleeding in 0.5% of patients, including 0.5% grade 3, and colitis in 0.3%, including 0.3% grade 3. In addition, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting occurred in 89% of 366 patients, including 9% grade 3. Nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting led to dosage interruption or dose reduction in 29% of patients and permanent discontinuation of KRAZATI in 0.3%
  • Monitor and manage patients using supportive care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, or fluid replacement, as indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue KRAZATI based on severity

QTC INTERVAL PROLONGATION

  • KRAZATI can cause QTc interval prolongation, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (eg, torsades de pointes) or sudden death
  • In the pooled safety population, 6% of 366 patients with at least one post-baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) assessment had an average QTc ≥501 ms, and 11% of patients had an increase from baseline of QTc >60 msec. KRAZATI causes concentration-dependent increases in the QTc interval
  • Avoid concomitant use of KRAZATI with other products with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval. Avoid use of KRAZATI in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with concurrent QTc prolongation
  • Monitor ECGs and electrolytes prior to starting KRAZATI, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated in patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalities, and in patients who are taking medications that are known to prolong the QT interval. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue KRAZATI, depending on severity

HEPATOTOXICITY

  • KRAZATI can cause hepatotoxicity
  • In the pooled safety population, hepatotoxicity occurred in 37%, and 7% were grade 3 or 4. A total of 32% of patients who received KRAZATI had increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST); 5% were grade 3 and 0.5% were grade 4. Increased ALT/AST leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 11% of patients. KRAZATI was discontinued due to increased ALT/AST in 0.5% of patients
  • Monitor liver laboratory tests (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, and total bilirubin) prior to the start of KRAZATI, and monthly for 3 months or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase elevations. Reduce the dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue KRAZATI based on severity

INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE/PNEUMONITIS

  • KRAZATI can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis, which can be fatal. In the pooled safety population, ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.1% of patients, 1.4% were grade 3 or 4, and 1 case was fatal. The median time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 12 weeks (range: 5 to 31 weeks). KRAZATI was discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 0.8% of patients
  • Monitor patients for new or worsening respiratory symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (eg, dyspnea, cough, fever). Withhold KRAZATI in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue KRAZATI if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified

ADVERSE REACTIONS

  • The most common adverse reactions (≥25%) are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, renal impairment, edema, dyspnea, decreased appetite
