SAN DIEGO, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Mirati Therapeutics, Inc.®  (NASDAQ: MRTX), a commercial stage biotechnology company, today announced updated results from the KRYSTAL-7 Phase 2 study evaluating adagrasib combined with pembrolizumab in patients for the treatment of first-line NSCLC harboring a KRASG12C mutation at the European Society of Medical Oncology Congress (ESMO) 2023. These data demonstrate a manageable safety profile and early signs of durability of adagrasib in combination with a checkpoint inhibitor in the first-line NSCLC setting.

Summary of Clinical Results

  • In patients with PD-L1 TPS ≥50%, adagrasib and pembrolizumab demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 63% and disease control rate (DCR) of 84% and promising early signs of durability. The 63% confirmed response rate compares favorably to pembrolizumab monotherapy which has demonstrated an ORR of 39-45%.1,2
  • A median progression free survival has not been reached at 10.1 months median follow up.
  • The safety profile of the adagrasib and pembrolizumab combination was consistent with either agent as monotherapy, with a low rate of treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) leading to discontinuation of both drugs in only 4% of patients.
  • Treatment related hepatic events occurred in
