Background

Adagrasib (MRTX849) is an oral, small-molecule KRAS inhibitor developed by Mirati Therapeutics. KRAS mutations are highly common in cancer and account for approximately 85% of all RAS family mutations.⁵ However, the development of KRAS inhibitors has been challenging due to their high affinity for guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and guanosine diphosphate (GDP), as well as the lack of a clear binding pocket.¹ Adagrasib targets KRAS^G12C, one of the most common KRAS mutations, at the cysteine 12 residue and inhibits KRAS-dependent signalling.² In a phase I/IB clinical study that included patients with KRAS^G12C-mutated advanced solid tumors (NCT03785249), adagrasib exhibited anti-tumor activity. The phase II of the same study showed that in patients with KRAS^G12C-mutated non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), adagrasib was efficient without new safety signals.^2,3,6

In February 2022, the FDA accepted a new drug application (NDA) for adagrasib for the treatment of patients with previously treated KRAS^G12C–positive NSCLC.⁷ In December 2022, the FDA granted accelerated approval to adagrasib for the treatment of KRAS^G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.^8,9 Adagrasib joins sotorasib as another KRAS^G12C inhibitor approved by the FDA.⁴

Pharmacology

Indication

Adagrasib is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.⁸

It is also indicated to treat KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) in combination with cetuximab in adults who have received prior treatment with fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy.¹⁰

These indications are approved under accelerated approval based on objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR). Their continued approval may be contingent upon verification and description of a clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Pharmacodynamics

The exposure-response relationship and pharmacodynamic response time course of adagrasib have not been elucidated. The use of adagrasib can cause QTc interval prolongation. The increase in QTc is concentration-dependent. In patients given 600 mg of adagrasib twice daily, the mean QTcF change from baseline (ΔQTcF) was 18 ms at the mean steady-state maximum concentration.⁸ The use of adagrasib can also lead to severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions, hepatotoxicity and interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis.⁸

Mechanism of action

In normal cells, KRAS is activated by binding to guanosine triphosphate (GTP), and this promotes the activation of the MAP kinase pathway and intracellular signal transduction. When GTP is hydrolyzed to guanosine diphosphate (GDP), KRAS is inactivated. This mechanism works as an "on"/"off" system that regulates cell growth. The substitution of Gly12 by cysteine in KRAS (KRAS^G12C) impairs GTP hydrolysis, and maintains KRAS in its active form. Therefore, the presence of this mutation leads to uncontrolled cellular proliferation and growth, as well as malignant transformation.¹ Adagrasib is a covalent inhibitor of KRAS^G12C that irreversibly and selectively binds and locks KRAS^G12C in its inactive, guanosine diphosphate–bound state.² Therefore, the use of adagrasib inhibits tumor cell growth and viability in cancers with KRAS^G12C mutations with minimal off-target activity.⁸

Absorption

The AUC and C_max of adagrasib increase in a dose-proportional manner between 400 mg and 600 mg (0.67 to 1 times the approved recommended dose). At the recommended dose, adagrasib reached steady-state within 8 days, with a 6-fold accumulation. The T_max of adagrasib is approximately 6 hours. The administration of a high-fat and high-calorie meal (900-1000 calories, 50% from fat) did not have a clinically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of adagrasib.⁸ Adagrasib has high oral bioavailability and is able to penetrate the central nervous system.⁵

Volume of distribution

Adagrasib has an apparent volume of distribution of 942 L.⁸

Protein binding

In vitro, adagrasib has a human plasma protein binding of 98%.⁸

Metabolism

Following single-dose administration, adagrasib is mainly metabolized by CYP3A4. However, since adagrasib inhibits CYP3A4 following multiple dosing, other enzymes such as CYP2C8, CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6 contribute to its metabolism at steady-state.⁸

Route of elimination

Adagrasib is eliminated through feces and urine. In patients given a single dose of radiolabeled adagrasib, 75% of the dose was recovered in feces (14% as unchanged), while 4.5% was recovered in urine (2% as unchanged).⁸

Half-life

Adagrasib has a terminal elimination half-life of 23 hours.⁸

Clearance

Adagrasib has an apparent oral clearance (CL/F) of 37 L/h.⁸

Toxicity

Toxicity information regarding adagrasib is not readily available. Patients experiencing an overdose are at an increased risk of severe adverse effects such as hepatotoxicity, gastrointestinal adverse reactions and QTc interval prolongation.⁸ Symptomatic and supportive measures are recommended.

The carcinogenicity of adagrasib has not been evaluated. In an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay, adagrasib was not mutagenic. An in vitro chromosomal aberration assay and an in vivo micronucleus assay in rats showed that it was not genotoxic. Studies evaluating the effects of adagrasib on fertility have not been performed. The oral administration of adagrasib to rats for up to 13 weeks induced phospholipidosis at doses higher than 150 mg/kg (approximately 2 times the human exposure at the recommended dose based on AUC). The presence of phospholipidosis led to the increased vacuolation of multiple organs.⁸

Adagrasib binds to G12C-mutated KRAS, not its wild-type form.

General Function

Ras proteins bind GDP/GTP and possess intrinsic GTPase activity (PubMed:20949621). Plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation (PubMed:22711838, PubMed:23698361). Plays a role in promoting oncogenic events by inducing transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in a ZNF304-dependent manner (PubMed:24623306)
