Verastem Oncology (Nasdaq:VSTM), a biopharmaceutical company committed to advancing new medicines for patients with cancer, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to Verastem Oncology’s investigational RAF/MEK clamp, avutometinib, in combination with Amgen’s KRAS G12C inhibitor, LUMAKRAS^TM (sotorasib), for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C-mutant metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy and have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor. Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of new drugs intended to treat or prevent serious conditions and address unmet medical need.

“Receiving Fast Track Designation for the combination of avutometinib and sotorasib reinforces the importance of improving the depth of MAPK pathway inhibition to enhance tumor regression relative to KRAS G12C inhibition alone and the potential of the combination of avutometinib and sotorasib in KRAS G12C mutant locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC,” said Dan Paterson, President and CEO, Verastem Oncology. “Given that KRAS G12C is the most common KRAS mutation in NSCLC, the advancement of the combination is important in understanding potential new treatment approaches. We look forward to continued interaction with the FDA as we advance the development of this promising treatment regimen.”

While newer targeted therapies specific to KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC have shown significant promise, avutometinib targets the RAS pathway, which is a common source of acquired mutation. Preclinical proof-of-concept studies demonstrated improvements with the combination of avutometinib and sotorasib vs sotorasib alone, including deeper tumor regression through enhanced blockade of ERK activation and a decrease in the frequency of relapse of tumors. The RAMP 203 clinical development program will determine whether the promising preclinical results observed with the combination of avutometinib with sotorasib translate into improved clinical outcomes for patients with KRAS G12C-mutant locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have received prior therapy for metastatic disease and have not been previously treated with a KRAS G12C inhibitor.
