By: 24/7QualityMeds Science behind Krazati (Adagrasib) When a mutation occurs in KRAS, a normal human gene, it is called KRAS G12C. This mutation makes cells grow and divide at a fast rate leading to the cancerous tumor.Krazati works by directly blocking the KRAS G12 C protein. The direct targeting action of Adagrasib in Krazati on the mutated KRAS G12 C genes slows and eventually stops tumor progression. Eligible candidates for therapy The eligible candidates for Krazati therapy according to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are listed below:
As a single agent, for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12Cmutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.
In combination with cetuximab, for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic CRC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine- Dosage instructions The recommended dosage of Krazati as a single agent or in combination with cetuximab is 600 mg orally twice daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Risks General: Single agent use in NCSLC: The most common adverse reactions were nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, renal impairment, edema, dyspnea, and decreased appetite. QT interval prolongation: Hepatotoxicity: Interstitial Lung Disease / Pneumonitis: Understanding the drug beforehand can help reduce anxiety and prepare you for what to expect throughout therapy, including potential risks and side effects.
