Adagrasib (Krazati) for Colorectal Cancer

The RAS GTPase family inhibitor adagrasib (Krazati – BMS), which received accelerated approval for treatment of KRAS G12C (glycine-to-cysteine mutation at codon 12)-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in 2022, has now received accelerated approval from the FDA for use with cetuximab for treatment of KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) in adults who received prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy.1 Adagrasib is the first KRAS inhibitor to be approved in the US for treatment of CRC.
