[Aim] To investigate the efficacy and safety of Sotorasib targeted therapy in 53 Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring KRAS G12C mutation. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was conducted on 53 patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC harboring KRAS G12C mutation, treated at Boao Evergrande International Hospital in Hainan Province from September 2021 to June 2023. Patients were orally administered Sotorasib at a dose of 960 mg once daily until disease progression or intolerance. Treatment response was assessed every 1-3 months post-treatment. Follow-up was conducted until September 2023. The efficacy was evaluated by objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), median progression-free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS), and the safety of the drug was assessed. The impact of different factors including gender, age, presence of bone metastasis, brain metastasis, smoking history, coexistence of STK11 mutation, KEAP1 mutation, TP53 mutation, and PD-L1 expression on ORR was compared. [Results] Among the 53 patients, 4 patients were not evaluated for treatment response due to treatment duration less than 1 month, and 49 patients underwent treatment response evaluation with treatment duration ranging from 1.0 to 16.3 months and a median treatment duration of 4.7 months. The ORR was 51.0%, DCR was 87.8%, mPFS was 6.5 months, and mOS was 10.7 months. Subgroup analysis showed an ORR of 33.3% in patients with bone metastasis and 64.3% in patients without bone metastasis. The ORR was significantly lower in patients with bone metastasis (p=0.045). The overall incidence of adverse drug reactions was 17.0%, with grades 1-2 accounting for 9.4% and grades 3-4 accounting for 7.6%. Hepatic impairment occurred in 9.5% (grades 1-2: 5.7%, grades 3-4: 3.8%), fever (grade 3: 3.8%), limb pain, and vomiting were all 1.9% (grade 1). [Conclusion] Sotorasib treatment in Chinese NSCLC patients harboring KRAS G12C mutation is safe, with a higher ORR than that reported in foreign populations, and similar mOS and mPFS compared to foreign populations. Bone metastasis is a negative predictor of drug efficacy. |
