TESTING FOR KRAS G12C

NCCN Guidelines recommend biomarker testing for KRAS, including G12C, for all appropriate patients with advanced or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC, and can be considered for those with squamous histology.1

NCCN=National Comprehensive Cancer Network; NSCLC=non-small cell lung cancer..

IDENTIFYING AN ACTIONABLE DRIVER MUTATION LIKE KRAS G12C CAN INFORM TREATMENT DECISION-MAKING2,3

EVALUATING BIOMARKER TESTING RESULTS BEFORE INITIATING TREATMENT MAY IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES4

Based on retrospective analysis of a cohort of patients newly diagnosed with stage IV NSCLC with mutations of EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, MET, RET, HER2, or NTRK1/2/3 (N=510). Patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC were not included in this analysis.4

ALK=anaplastic lymphoma kinase; BRAF=B-Raf proto-oncogene; EGFR=epidermal growth factor receptor; HER2=human epidermal growth factor receptor 2; MET=mesenchymal epithelial transition; NTRK1/2/3=neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase; RET=rearranged during transfection; ROS1=proto-oncogene C-Ros1, receptor tyrosine kinase.

 

MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS IN COMMUNITY SETTING

Study population icon
52%
Tested for >1 driver mutation prior to 1L therapy5*
45%
Patients with advanced NSCLC tested with NGS6†

*Based on a retrospective study assessing real-world biomarker testing patterns in the community setting in patients with de novo metastatic NSCLC treated with systemic therapy between 2017 and 2019 (N=2257). Of the 2257 patients, 1724 had results available for at least 1 driver mutation or PD-L1 during the study period.5
Based on retrospective observational chart review study of patients with metastatic NSCLC initiating first-line systemic therapy between 10/01/2019 and 03/31/2020 (N=3474).6

1L=first-line; NGS=next-generation sequencing; PD-L1=programmed death-ligand 1.

IDENTIFY PATIENTS WITH KRAS G12C-MUTATED NSCLC WITH AN FDA-APPROVED TEST, SUCH AS:

PCR=polymerase chain reaction.
