FDA approves new treatment combining Lumakras and Vectibix for specific colorectal cancer patients, extending survival.

The FDA has approved the combination of Lumakras (sotorasib) and Vectibix (panitumumab) to treat adults with KRAS G12C-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer who have already received certain chemotherapies. This new treatment significantly improves progression-free survival, extending it to 5.6 months compared to 2 months with standard care. The approval is based on the CodeBreaK 300 study. Common side effects include rash, dry skin, diarrhea, and fatigue.
