Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are treatment-naïve patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have a KRAS G12C mutation.

Probably not a fit

Patients without the KRAS G12C mutation or those who have previously received treatment for mCRC may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study utilizes the therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit to identify patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who have KRAS G12C mutation positive tumors. The results will be used to enroll eligible patients in Amgen's Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of sotorasib in combination with other treatments. Approximately 450 patients from 31 countries will participate, and the study aims to establish the clinical performance of the therascreen kit as a companion diagnostic for mCRC. The trial will be conducted in conjunction with the Phase 3 study to streamline patient identification and enrollment.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a reliable method for identifying mCRC patients who may benefit from targeted treatment with sotorasib.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar companion diagnostic approaches, indicating potential for this method.
