16 January 2025 - Today, the FDA approved sotorasib (Lumakras, Amgen) with panitumumab (Vectibix, Amgen) for adult patients with KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer, as determined by an FDA-approved test, who have received prior fluoropyrimidine-, oxaliplatin-, and irinotecan-based chemotherapy.
Today, the FDA also approved the therascreen KRAS RGQ PCR Kit (QIAGEN GmbH) as a companion diagnostic device to aid in identifying patients with colorectal cancer whose tumors harbor KRAS G12C mutations and who may be eligible for Lumakras with Vectibix.
