Warnings and precautions

Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver function tests every 3 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment then once monthly as clinically indicated. Consider administering systemic corticosteroids and withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on the severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening pulmonary symptoms. Immediately withhold LUMAKRAS for suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified. ( 2.3 , 5.2 )

5.1 Hepatotoxicity LUMAKRAS can cause hepatotoxicity and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) which may lead to drug-induced liver injury and hepatitis. In the pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , hepatotoxicity occurred in 27% of patients, of which 16% were Grade ≥ 3. Among patients with hepatotoxicity who required dosage modifications, 64% required treatment with corticosteroids. In this pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg, 17% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased ALT/increased AST; of which 9% were Grade ≥ 3. The median time to first onset of increased ALT/AST was 6.3 weeks (range: 0.4 to 42). Increased ALT/AST leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 9% of patients treated with LUMAKRAS. LUMAKRAS was permanently discontinued due to increased ALT/AST in 2.7% of patients. Drug-induced liver injury occurred in 1.6% (all grades) including 1.3% (Grade ≥ 3). In this pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg, a total of 40% patients with recent (≤ 3 months) immunotherapy prior to starting LUMAKRAS had an event of hepatotoxicity. An event of hepatotoxicity was observed in 18% of patients who started LUMAKRAS more than 3 months after last dose of immunotherapy and in 17% of those who never received immunotherapy. Regardless of time from prior immunotherapy, 94% of hepatotoxicity events improved or resolved with dosage modification of LUMAKRAS, with or without corticosteroid treatment. In the pooled safety population of patients with CRC who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , hepatotoxicity occurred in 15% of patients, of which 4.8% were Grade 3. A total of 7% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had increased ALT or increased AST, of which 0.8% were Grade 3. The median time to first onset of increased ALT or increased AST was 10 weeks (range: 2 to 22). Increased ALT or increased AST leading to dose interruption occurred in 2.4% of patients. A total of 3.2% of patients who received LUMAKRAS had hyperbilirubinemia, of which 2.4% were Grade 3. The median time to first onset of hyperbilirubinemia was 12 weeks (range: 0, 29). Hyperbilirubinemia leading to dose interruption occurred in 1.6% of patients. Among patients with hepatotoxicity, 21% received corticosteroids. Monitor liver function tests (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase 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, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue LUMAKRAS based on severity of the adverse reaction [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. Consider administering systemic corticosteroids for the management of hepatotoxicity.

5.2 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis LUMAKRAS can cause ILD/pneumonitis that can be fatal. In the pooled safety population of patients with NSCLC who received single agent LUMAKRAS 960 mg [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 2.2% of patients, of which 1.1% were Grade ≥ 3, and 1 case was fatal. The median time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 8.6 weeks (range: 2.1 to 36.7 weeks). LUMAKRAS was permanently discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 1.3% of LUMAKRAS-treated 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 [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] . In the pooled safety population of patients with CRC who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab, 1 patient experienced a Grade 1 event of ILD/pneumonitis [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] .

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to LUMAKRAS as a single agent at 960 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity in 549 patients with NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation in the following trials: CodeBreaK 200 (NCT04303780), CodeBreaK 100 (NCT03600883), CodeBreaK 101 (NCT04185883) and CodeBreaK 105 (NCT04380753). Among these 549 patients who received LUMAKRAS, 44% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 21% were exposed for greater than one year. The pooled safety population described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS also reflects exposure to LUMAKRAS 960 mg once daily in combination with panitumumab in 126 patients who received LUMAKRAS in combination with panitumumab for mCRC in CodeBreaK 300 (NCT05198934) and CodeBreaK 101 (NCT04185883). Among the 126 patients who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab, 40% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 10% were exposed for greater than one year. Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer The safety of LUMAKRAS was evaluated in a subset of patients with KRAS G12C -mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in CodeBreaK 100 [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] . Patients received LUMAKRAS 960 mg orally once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity (n = 204). Among patients who received LUMAKRAS, 39% were exposed for 6 months or longer and 3% were exposed for greater than one year. The median age of patients who received LUMAKRAS was 66 years (range: 37 to 86); 55% female; 80% White, 15% Asian, and 3% Black. Serious adverse reactions occurred in 50% of patients treated with LUMAKRAS. Serious adverse reactions in ≥ 2% of patients were pneumonia (8%), hepatotoxicity (3.4%), and diarrhea (2%). Fatal adverse reactions occurred in 3.4% of patients who received LUMAKRAS due to respiratory failure (0.8%), pneumonitis (0.4%), cardiac arrest (0.4%), cardiac failure (0.4%), gastric ulcer (0.4%), and pneumonia (0.4%). Permanent discontinuation of LUMAKRAS due to an adverse reaction occurred in 9% of patients. Adverse reactions resulting in permanent discontinuation of LUMAKRAS in ≥ 2% of patients included hepatotoxicity (4.9%). Dosage interruptions of LUMAKRAS due to an adverse reaction occurred in 34% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dosage interruption in ≥ 2% of patients were hepatotoxicity (11%), diarrhea (8%), musculoskeletal pain (3.9%), nausea (2.9%), and pneumonia (2.5%). Dose reductions of LUMAKRAS due to an adverse reaction occurred in 5% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥ 2% of patients included increased ALT (2.9%) and increased AST (2.5%). The most common adverse reactions (≥ 20%) were diarrhea, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, fatigue, hepatotoxicity, and cough. The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥ 25%) were decreased lymphocytes, decreased hemoglobin, increased aspartate aminotransferase, increased alanine aminotransferase, decreased calcium, increased alkaline phosphatase, increased urine protein, and decreased sodium.

Drug interactions

Acid-Reducing Agents: Avoid coadministration with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and H 2 receptor antagonists. If an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer LUMAKRAS 4 hours before or 10 hours after a local antacid. ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid coadministration with strong CYP3A4 inducers. ( 7.1 ) CYP3A4 Substrates: Avoid coadministration with CYP3A4 substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failures of the substrate. If coadministration cannot be avoided, adjust the substrate dosage in accordance to its Prescribing Information. ( 7.2 ) P-gp substrates: Avoid coadministration with P-gp substrates for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the substrate dosage in accordance to its Prescribing Information. ( 7.2 )

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on LUMAKRAS Acid-Reducing Agents The solubility of sotorasib is pH-dependent. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with gastric acid-reducing agents decreased sotorasib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of sotorasib. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H 2 receptor antagonists, and locally acting antacids. If coadministration with an acid-reducing agent cannot be avoided, administer LUMAKRAS 4 hours before or 10 hours after administration of a locally acting antacid [see Dosage and Administration (2.4) ] . Strong CYP3A4 Inducers Sotorasib is a CYP3A4 substrate. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a strong CYP3A4 inducer decreased sotorasib concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of sotorasib. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with strong CYP3A4 inducers .

7.2 Effects of LUMAKRAS on Other Drugs CYP3A4 Substrates Sotorasib is a CYP3A4 inducer. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a CYP3A4 substrate decreased its plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may reduce the efficacy of the substrate. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with CYP3A4 sensitive substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to therapeutic failures of the substrate. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the sensitive CYP3A4 substrate dosage in accordance with its Prescribing Information . P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates Sotorasib is a P-gp inhibitor. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a P-gp substrate increased its plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the adverse reactions of the substrate. Avoid coadministration of LUMAKRAS with P-gp substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious toxicities. If coadministration cannot be avoided, decrease the P-gp substrate dosage in accordance with its Prescribing Information . Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP) Substrates Sotorasib is a BCRP-inhibitor. Coadministration of LUMAKRAS with a BCRP substrate increased its plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions of the substrate. When coadministered with LUMAKRAS, monitor for adverse reactions of the BCRP substrate and decrease the BCRP substrate dosage in accordance with its Prescribing Information.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, children and older adults

Lactation: Advise not to breastfeed. ( 8.2 )

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on LUMAKRAS use in pregnant women. In rat and rabbit embryo-fetal development studies, oral sotorasib did not cause adverse developmental effects or embryo-lethality at exposures up to 4.6 times the human exposure at the 960 mg clinical dose (see Data ) . Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of panitumumab for pregnancy risk information and contraception recommendations when LUMAKRAS is administered in combination with panitumumab. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data In a rat embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of sotorasib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in maternal toxicity at the 540 mg/kg dose level (approximately 4.6 times the human exposure based on area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 960 mg). Sotorasib did not cause adverse developmental effects and did not affect embryo-fetal survival at doses up to 540 mg/kg. In a rabbit embryo-fetal development study, once daily oral administration of sotorasib during the period of organogenesis resulted in lower fetal body weights and a reduction in the number of ossified metacarpals in fetuses at the 100 mg/kg dose level (approximately 2.6 times the human exposure based on AUC at the clinical dose of 960 mg), which was associated with maternal toxicity including decreased body weight gain and food consumption during the dosing phase. Sotorasib did not cause adverse developmental effects and did not affect embryo-fetal survival at doses up to 100 mg/kg.

8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of sotorasib or its metabolites in human milk, the effects on the breastfed child, or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with LUMAKRAS and for 1 week after the last dose. Refer to the Full Prescribing Information of panitumumab for lactation recommendations when LUMAKRAS is administered in combination with panitumumab.

8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of LUMAKRAS have not been established in pediatric patients.

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 357 patients with any tumor type who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg orally once daily in CodeBreaK 100, 46% were 65 and over, and 10% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between older patients and younger patients treated with LUMAKRAS as a single agent. In a pooled analysis of 132 patients who received LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab for KRAS G12C-mutated mCRC, 30% were 65 and over while 9% were 75 and over. No overall differences in safety or efficacy were observed between older patients (≥ 65 years of age) compared to younger patients, treated with LUMAKRAS 960 mg in combination with panitumumab.

8.6 Hepatic Impairment No dosage modification is recommended in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A or B). The effect of severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C) on the safety of LUMAKRAS is unknown . Monitor for sotorasib adverse reactions in patients with hepatic impairment more frequently since these patients may be at increased risk for adverse reactions including hepatotoxicity [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ].

How it works

Sotorasib is an inhibitor of KRAS G12C, a tumor-restricted, mutant-oncogenic form of the RAS GTPase, KRAS. Sotorasib forms an irreversible, covalent bond with the unique cysteine of KRAS G12C, locking the protein in an inactive state that prevents downstream signaling without affecting wild-type KRAS. Sotorasib blocked KRAS signaling, inhibited cell growth, and promoted apoptosis only in KRAS G12C tumor cell lines. Sotorasib inhibited KRAS G12C in vitro and in vivo with minimal detectable off-target activity. In mouse tumor xenograft models, sotorasib-treatment led to tumor regressions and prolonged survival, and was associated with anti-tumor immunity in KRAS G12C models. In the setting of KRAS G12C-mutant CRC, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation has been identified as a mechanism of resistance to KRAS G12C inhibition. In a murine patient-derived colorectal tumor xenograft model, the combination of sotorasib and panitumumab, an EGFR antagonist, had increased antitumor activity compared to either sotorasib or panitumumab alone.
