[Slide 1] KRYSTAL-12: ADA in previously treated KRASG NSCLC Lay summary Why is this study important? Who took part in the study and what treatments were used? A specific change (mutation) in the KRAS gene, KRASG¹²ᶜ, is one of the most common mutations that can lead to the 301 people in the The study included 152 people in the development of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ADA group 453 people from DOCE group (taken as tablets There are limited fully approved treatment options, other 22 countries (given into a vein 2 times a day) every 3 weeks) than chemotherapy, for people with metastatic NSCLC (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or that comes back) and a KRAS mutation What did the researchers look at? Adagrasib (ADA) is a drug that specifically targets KRASG Primary assessment Additional assessments (the mutated KRAS protein) to suppress tumor growth Progression-free survival (PFS): Objective response rate (ORR): The main goal of this study was to find out if ADA worked how long did each person live how many people had tumors better than the standard chemotherapy drug docetaxel without the cancer getting worse (DOCE) when given to people with metastatic NSCLC and a partly or completely shrink? KRAS mutation after chemotherapy and immunotherapy after being assigned treatment? What side effects did people have? What were the main results of the study? PFS Tumor shrinkage (ORR) Overall tumor shrinkage in the brain What do these People who took ADA lived longer More than 3x as many people who For people whose cancer had spread to the results mean? without their cancer getting worse took ADA had tumors shrink than brain, these brain tumors shrank in more than than those who took DOCE those who took DOCE 2x as many people who took ADA Overall, these results Median PFS (number of months half of the people lived without the cancer support the use of getting worse or spreading) 32% 9% 24% 11% ADA over DOCE in ADA previously treated 5.5 months ADA DOCE ADA DOCE people with metastatic NSCLC and a KRASG12C DOCE Side effects for both treatments were similar to those seen previously mutation 3.8 months with these drugs, and no new side effects were reported

About the KRYSTAL-12 Trial

KRYSTAL-12 is a Phase III, open-label, randomized confirmatory trial evaluating adagrasib (Krazati) versus docetaxel in patients with previously treated KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. The trial randomized 340 patients 2:1 to adagrasib 600 mg BID or docetaxel 75 mg/m2, with crossover permitted upon BICR-confirmed progression. KRYSTAL-12 serves as the confirmatory study for Krazati's December 2022 accelerated approval, which was based on the single-arm KRYSTAL-1 trial. Results were presented at ASCO 2024.

FDA Approval

FDA APPROVED Krazati (adagrasib) — KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received at least one prior systemic therapy

On December 12, 2022, the FDA granted accelerated approval to adagrasib (Krazati) for adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received at least one prior systemic therapy. Approval was based on the KRYSTAL-1 trial showing ORR of 43% (95% CI: 34-53%) and median DOR of 8.5 months. Continued approval is contingent on verification of clinical benefit from the confirmatory KRYSTAL-12 trial. Application received fast-track, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations.

Trial Methodology & Results

Study Design

Phase III, open-label, 2:1 randomized, multiregional clinical trial comparing adagrasib 600 mg orally twice daily versus docetaxel 75 mg/m2 IV in patients with KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC who progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. Crossover from docetaxel to adagrasib was allowed upon blinded independent central review (BICR)-confirmed disease progression.

Population

Adults with KRAS G12C-mutated locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who received at least one prior systemic therapy, including platinum-based chemotherapy and an anti-PD-(L)1 antibody. KRAS G12C mutation status determined by an FDA-approved test (QIAGEN therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit for tissue; Agilent Resolution ctDx FIRST Assay for plasma).

Interventions

Adagrasib 600 mg orally twice daily versus docetaxel 75 mg/m2 intravenously every 3 weeks, with treatment continuing until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Primary Endpoints

Primary endpoint: progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). Key secondary endpoints: objective response rate (ORR), median duration of response (mDoR), and overall survival (OS).

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

Adagrasib demonstrated a statistically significant PFS improvement versus docetaxel. PFS HR was 0.58 (p<0.0001), representing a 42% reduction in the risk of progression or death. Median PFS was 5.5 months with adagrasib versus 3.8 months with docetaxel. ORR was 32% versus 9%, and median duration of response was 8.3 months versus 5.4 months.

PFS HR 0.58 — 42% risk reduction vs docetaxel

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival data from KRYSTAL-12 are still maturing and were not presented at the ASCO 2024 readout. The trial had not yet accrued enough deaths for a formal OS analysis, and BMS remains blinded to the OS endpoint. The FDA has indicated that full approval based on PFS alone requires clinically meaningful magnitude or supportive OS data. OS results are expected with longer follow-up (trial estimated completion July 2026).

Safety & Tolerability

Grade 3+ treatment-related adverse events occurred in 47% of adagrasib patients versus 46% with docetaxel. Discontinuation due to adverse events was 13% for adagrasib versus 18% for docetaxel. In the pooled safety population (n=366), the most common adverse reactions were diarrhea (70%), nausea (69%), and vomiting (56%), with GI toxicity leading to dose modification in 29%. Hepatotoxicity occurred in 37% (7% Grade 3/4). QTc prolongation occurred in 20%, with 6% having QTc ≥501 ms. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.1% (1.4% Grade 3/4, 1 fatal). Liver-related events in KRYSTAL-12 specifically were mostly Grade 1 and manageable.

Clinical Implications

KRYSTAL-12 confirms the PFS benefit of adagrasib in second-line KRAS G12C NSCLC, positioning it alongside sotorasib (Lumakras) in a competitive KRAS inhibitor landscape. However, the modest absolute PFS gain (1.7 months) and immature OS data leave the full approval pathway uncertain. The trial's BICR-gated crossover design addresses the open-label bias issues that led to Lumakras receiving a CRL from the FDA in December 2023. Key clinical debates include whether the PFS magnitude alone is clinically meaningful, whether OS data will ultimately support full conversion, and how next-generation KRAS inhibitors (e.g., Roche's divarasib in the planned KRASCENDO-1 trial) may reshape the treatment landscape.

● POSITIVE #ASCO24 PFS (primary endpoint) favors adagrasib (5.49m vs 3.84m, HR 0.58) as did RR (31.9% vs 9.2%) with mDOR 8.31 vs 5.36m. Intracranial RR 24% overall. Clear advantages with adagrasib - what will OS show as the study matures? https://t.co/iG6eIa7bG

● NEGATIVE CODEBREAK200 vs KRYSTAL-12 PFS. No clear difference. Absence of reporting of preliminary OS of K-12 results suggests no great (absence of?) diff vs doce. Not exactly what our patients were expecting. Still a lot to learn to better care for pts with
