Fast Track Designation for Combination of Avutometinib and Sotorasib for the Treatment of KRAS G12C-Mutant NSCLC
“Receiving Fast Track Designation for the combination of avutometinib and sotorasib reinforces the importance of improving the depth of MAPK pathway inhibition to enhance tumor regression relative to KRAS G12C inhibition alone and the potential of the combination of avutometinib and sotorasib in KRAS G12C mutant locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC,” said Dan Paterson, President and CEO, Verastem Oncology. “Given that KRAS G12C is the most common KRAS mutation in NSCLC, the advancement of the combination is important in understanding potential new treatment approaches. We look forward to continued interaction with the FDA as we advance the development of this promising treatment regimen.”
