Treatment with LUMYKRAS must be initiated by a physician experienced in the use of anticancer medicinal products. 3 The presence of a KRAS G12C-mutation must be confirmed using a validated test prior to initiation of LUMYKRAS therapy.
Posology The recommended dose is 960 mg sotorasib (eight 120 mg tablets or four 240 mg tablets) once daily, at the same time each day. Duration of treatment Treatment with LUMYKRAS is recommended until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Missed doses or vomiting If less than 6 hours have passed since the scheduled time of dosing, the patient should take the dose as normal. If more than 6 hours have passed since the scheduled time of dosing, the patient must not take the dose.
Treatment should be continued as prescribed the next day. If vomiting occurs after taking LUMYKRAS, the patient must not take an additional dose on the same day, and treatment must be continued as prescribed the next day. Dose modifications Dosing should be modified based on LUMYKRAS toxicity.
2 are based on clinical data. 2). Dose reduction levels are summarised in table 1. Dose modifications for adverse reactions are provided in table 2. A maximum of two dose reductions are recommended for management of an adverse reaction (see table 1).
Discontinue LUMYKRAS if an adverse reaction cannot be managed after two dose reductions and patients are unable to tolerate the minimum dose of 240 mg once daily. Table 1.

Summary of the safety profile Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) described in table 3 reflect exposure to sotorasib 960 mg once daily as monotherapy in 740 patients with KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumours across multiple clinical studies, including CodeBreaK 200, CodeBreaK 100 phase 2 part A, and CodeBreaK 100 phase 2 part B (dose comparison sub-study) and three phase 1 studies.
1%). 6%). 1%) and DILI (1%). 4%) and vomiting (2%). 9 Tabulated list of adverse reactions Adverse reactions reported in LUMYKRAS clinical studies are displayed in table 3 below. Frequency categories are defined as follows: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10 000 to < 1/1 000), very rare (< 1/10 000), and not known (cannot be estimated from available data).
Within each system organ class, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness. The safety of LUMYKRAS was evaluated in 740 patients with KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumours who received 960 mg orally once daily as monotherapy.
2 months (range: 0 to 41). Table 3. 4). 1% of patients, with a median time to onset of 6 weeks (range: 1 to 103) and 6 weeks (range: 0 to 42), respectively. 7% of patients. 9% of patients. 8% of patients. A case of fatal ILD occurred in a patient with metastatic NSCLC stage IVB treated with LUMYKRAS in a clinical trial.
The patient developed lower respiratory tract infection with a fatal outcome despite steroids and antibiotics treatment. The fatal ILD occurred in a setting of massive disease progression. 3 weeks). 4). 2). Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important.
It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.
Hepatotoxicity Sotorasib can cause hepatotoxicity, which may lead to drug-induced liver injury (DILI) and hepatitis. Sotorasib has been associated with transient elevations of serum transaminases (ALT and AST), alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin in 960 mg monotherapy clinical trials.
In a total of 740 patients with KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumours who received LUMYKRAS 960 mg monotherapy daily, the incidence for hepatotoxicity is highest in the sub-group of patients with recent (≤ 3 months) immunotherapy (38%) prior to starting LUMYKRAS, as compared to those who started LUMYKRAS either more than 3 months after last dose of immunotherapy (17%) or those who never received immunotherapy (22%).
Regardless of time from prior immunotherapy, 87% of elevations improved or resolved with interruption of LUMYKRAS treatment and treatment with corticosteroids. Elevated liver enzymes led to discontinuation of treatment in 10%, 2% and 0% of patients with prior immunotherapy within ≤ 3 months, with prior immunotherapy within > 3 months and no prior immunotherapy, respectively.
Among 740 patients with KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumours who received 960 mg orally once daily, 26% experienced hepatotoxicity and 13% had hepatotoxicity leading to dose interruption and/or dose reduction. Overall, 41% of patients with hepatotoxicity 6 received concurrent corticosteroids.
Cases of liver enzyme increase can be asymptomatic. Patients should be monitored for liver function (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin) prior to the start of LUMYKRAS, every 3 weeks for the first 3 months of treatment, then once a month or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients with recent immunotherapy and in patients with serious hepatotoxicity events.
2). Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/pneumonitis LUMYKRAS can cause ILD/pneumonitis that can be fatal. 8). Recent (≤ 3 months) immunotherapy prior to starting LUMYKRAS may be considered a risk factor for ILD/pneumonitis. g. dyspnoea, cough, fever).

• If alternative cause is identified, do not resume treatment until AST/ALT/bilirubin return to baseline. Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/pneumonitis Any grade • Stop treatment if ILD/pneumonitis is suspected • Permanently discontinue treatment if ILD/pneumonitis is confirmed and no other cause is identified.
2). Hepatic impairment No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment. 2). Renal impairment No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild renal impairment (creatine clearance, CrCL ≥ 60 mL/min).
LUMYKRAS has not been studied in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment (CrCL < 60 mL/min). 2). Paediatric population There is no relevant use of LUMYKRAS in the paediatric population in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.
Method of administration LUMYKRAS is for oral use. The tablets must be swallowed whole. There are no data to support the administration of LUMYKRAS if the tablets are chewed, crushed, or split but the tablets can be dispersed in water (see below).
The tablets can be taken with or without food. Administration to patients who have difficulty swallowing solids Patients should disperse tablets in 120 mL of non-carbonated, room temperature water, without crushing them. Other liquids must not be used.
Patients should stir until the tablets are dispersed into small pieces (the tablet will not dissolve completely) and drink it immediately. The appearance of the mixture may range from pale to bright yellow. The container must be rinsed with an additional 120 mL of water, which should be drunk immediately.
If it is not drunk immediately, patients must stir again to ensure that the tablets are dispersed. The dispersion must be discarded if it is not drunk within 2 hours. If administration through a nasogastric (NG) tube or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube is required, follow the process above for the initial dispersion and for the residual rinse of the 120 mg or 240 mg tablets.
The dispersed suspension and rinse should be administered as per the NG or PEG tube manufacturer’s instructions […]
2). Use in population with hepatic impairment There are no data on the clinical safety and efficacy of multiple doses of LUMYKRAS when administered to patients with moderate and severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B and C). No dose recommendation can be made.
