Other Events.

On June 6, 2022, the Company announced results of a prospective analysis from the Phase 1b cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study evaluating intracranial (IC) responses of adagrasib in patients with KRASG12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with active and untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases. The data will be presented today as a late-breaking oral presentation in the session titled, “Clinical Science Symposium/Including the Excluded: Advancing Care for All Patients With Lung Cancer” at the 2022 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting from 5:30 to 5:42 PM ET/4:30 to 4:42 PM CT (Abstract #LBA9009).

Results of Prospective Analysis

 

   

With a median follow up of 6.6 months (data cutoff date December 2021), 25 patients with active, untreated CNS metastases were enrolled in the study and treated with adagrasib 600 mg BID.

 

   

Of the radiographically evaluable patients (n=19), results showed an IC objective response rate of 32% (6/19) by modified response assessment in neuro-oncology-brain metastases (modified RANO-BM) by blinded independent central review.

 

   

In this analysis, three patients achieved a complete response and three patients achieved a partial response. The IC disease control rate was 84% (16/19, including 10 patients with stable disease). The median IC duration of response was not reached (95% confidence interval: 4.1 – not evaluable). Concordance of disease control between systemic and IC responses was 88% (14/16). For all patients enrolled, median overall survival was not reached.

 

   

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples were obtained from two patients for whom regression of CNS metastases was observed; adagrasib CSF/free plasma concentration ratios (Kp,uu: 0.47) were consistent with other agents with known CNS penetration and activity.

 

   

The safety profile of adagrasib in this study was consistent with the overall population with no new safety signals observed. Grade 1 and 2 treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 60% of patients. Grade 3 TRAEs occurred in 36% of patients, and there were no Grade 4/5 TRAEs.

A copy of the press release announcing the immediately above results is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
