A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of lung cancer known as KRAS G12C-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. This is a form of lung cancer that has a specific genetic mutation called KRAS G12C, which can make the cancer more challenging to treat. The study is comparing the effectiveness and safety of a new treatment called divarasib against two existing treatments, sotorasib and adagrasib. These treatments are designed to target the KRAS G12C mutation and are taken as film-coated tablets.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well these treatments work in preventing the cancer from getting worse, which is known as progression-free survival. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either divarasib, sotorasib, adagrasib, or a placebo. The study will monitor the participants over a period of time to see how the treatments affect their cancer and overall health. This includes looking at how long the treatments can keep the cancer from progressing and any side effects that may occur.
Throughout the study, participants will have regular check-ups and tests to assess their health and the status of their cancer. The study aims to provide valuable information on the best treatment options for patients with KRAS G12C-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, potentially leading to improved outcomes for those affected by this condition.
The trial runs in 6 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

is a medication being studied for its effectiveness in treating advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific genetic mutation known as KRAS G12C. This medication is being compared to other treatments to see if it can help patients live longer without their cancer getting worse.
is a medication used to treat non-small cell lung cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. It works by targeting and inhibiting the activity of the mutated KRAS protein, which is involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells.
is another treatment option for non-small cell lung cancer with the KRAS G12C mutation. Like sotorasib, it targets the KRAS protein to help stop the cancer from growing and spreading. This study is comparing its effectiveness to divarasib.
Divarasib is administered orally and is currently being evaluated in clinical trials for its effectiveness in treating KRAS G12C-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is not yet widely available in medical practice, as it is still under investigation. The main therapeutic indication for divarasib is targeting specific mutations in lung cancer cells. At the molecular level, divarasib works by inhibiting the KRAS G12C protein, which is involved in cell growth and division, thereby slowing down or stopping the progression of cancer. It is classified as a targeted cancer therapy.
Sotorasib is an oral medication that has been approved for use in treating KRAS G12C-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is recognized in medical literature as a significant advancement in targeted cancer therapy. The primary therapeutic indication for sotorasib is to treat lung cancer with specific genetic mutations. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting the KRAS G12C protein, which plays a role in cancer cell proliferation, thus helping to control the disease. Sotorasib is classified as a targeted therapy for cancer.
Adagrasib is taken orally and is currently being studied in clinical trials for its potential to treat KRAS G12C-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It is not yet fully established in medical practice, as research is ongoing. The main therapeutic use of adagrasib is to target specific genetic mutations in lung cancer. At the molecular level, adagrasib functions by inhibiting the KRAS G12C protein, which is crucial for cancer cell growth, thereby aiming to reduce tumor progression. It falls under the category of targeted cancer therapies.
