Abstract KRASG12C is one of the most common oncogenes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Historically, KRAS mutations have been difficult to target due to lack of binding sites and exceptionally high affinity for guanosine triphosphate/guanosine diphosphate (GTP/GDP). Recently, KRASG12C selective inhibitors have shown promising results in Phase I/II studies. Here we discuss the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, efficacy, and tolerability of adagrasib (MRTX849).
