Summary

This trial is testing a new way to treat non-squamous NSCLC that has a KRAS p.G12C mutation. The new treatment is neoadjuvant sotorasib in combination with cisplatin (or carboplatin) and pemetrexed chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new treatment is safe and results in an improved MPR rate (meaning the tumor shrinks) compared to the historical control MPR rate for platinum-based chemotherapy alone.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with stage IIA-IIIB non-squamous NSCLC, who haven't been treated before and have a KRAS p.G12C mutation. They must be fit for surgery, have good kidney function, an ECOG score of 0-1 (which means they're fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but can do light work), and no signs of stage IV cancer. Participants need to provide tissue samples, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, use effective contraception if applicable, and cannot have certain health issues that would interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests sotorasib combined with cisplatin (or carboplatin) and pemetrexed as pre-surgery treatment for lung cancer patients. The goal is to see if this combination improves the rate at which tumors shrink compared to historical data on chemotherapy alone. Patients will receive four cycles of treatment including at least one dose of sotorasib.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those common to chemotherapy like nausea, fatigue, blood cell count changes leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems; kidney function changes; allergic reactions; heart rhythm abnormalities due to QT interval prolongation; liver function alterations; and potential gastrointestinal issues affecting oral medication intake.
