New Drug: Setidegrasib for kRAS G12D Mutated Cancers

This phase 1 study demonstrated that setidegrasib, a first-in-class selective KRAS G12D-targeted protein degrader, has antitumor activity in patients with previously treated advanced NSCLC and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. At the recommended 600 mg dose given intravenously weekly, the drug showed manageable safety with mainly low-grade infusion-related reactions and few discontinuations, supporting further clinical development.

  • Study

    Phase 1, open-label, international, multicenter study [NCT05382559]
    Advanced solid tumors harboring KRAS G12D mutation, previously treated, including NSCLC and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
    Setidegrasib administered intravenously once weekly at doses of 10 to 800 mg; dose-escalation and dose-expansion cohorts; recommended phase 2 dose was 600 mg



  • Efficacy

    in NSCLC (16/45), 24% in pancreatic Ca (5/21)
    NSCLC:
    ORR: 36%, mPFS: 8.3 mos, 1yr-OS: 59%
    Pancreatic cancer:
    ORR: 24%, mPFS 3.0 mos, mOS 10.3 mos



  • Safety

    Grade >=3 AE: ALT increased (3%), neutropenia (3%), cholangitis (1%)
    Treatment-related grade >=3 AE (all patients): 9%
    Most common treatment-related AE: infusion-related reactions (80%, all grade 1-2), nausea (30%)
    Infusion-related reactions led to temporary interruption in 63% but no discontinuations
    Discontinuations due to AEs: 3%
