Data Characterizing Mutated KRAS Genotype and Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Advanced NSCLC Treated with Mecbotamab Vedotin (Mec-V) presented
“Mutations in KRAS are present in approximately 30% of lung cancer patients and we have now confirmed a strong correlation with expression of AXL, the target of our CAB- AXL-ADC, Mec-V. Among all 78 patients treated with Mec-V, 58% of those with tumors harboring mKRAS were alive at one year compared to only 23% lacking the mutation,” said Jay M. Short, Ph.D., Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of BioAtla, Inc. “The observed and unprecedented one-year survival among such a heavily pretreated NSCLC population suggests that Mec-V may be a promising treatment option for NSCLC patients across all KRAS mutation variants. Based on these findings and previous discussions with the FDA, a randomized trial of Mec-V in patients with treatment-refractory mKRAS NSCLC is planned for initiation in 2025.”
