Drug interactions
Adagrasib has several clinically significant drug interactions that should be avoided to prevent adverse effects and reduced efficacy.
- majorstrong CYP3A4 inducers — reduces adagrasib exposure, potentially decreasing its effectiveness
- majorstrong CYP3A4 inhibitors — increases adagrasib concentrations, potentially increasing the risk of adverse reactions
- majorsensitive CYP3A substrates — increases exposure of CYP3A substrates, potentially increasing the risk of adverse reactions
- majorsensitive CYP2C9 substrates — increases exposure of CYP2C9 substrates, potentially increasing the risk of adverse reactions
- majorsensitive CYP2D6 substrates — increases exposure of CYP2D6 substrates, potentially increasing the risk of adverse reactions
- majorP-gp substrates — increases exposure of P-gp substrates, potentially increasing the risk of adverse reactions
- majordrugs that prolong QT interval — may result in a greater increase in the QTc interval and serious adverse reactions

Withhold, reduce the dose or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.1 ) • QTc Interval Prolongation: Avoid concomitant use of KRAZATI with other products with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval. Monitor ECG and electrolytes particularly potassium and magnesium, in patients at risk, and in patients taking medications known to prolong the QT interval. Correct electrolyte abnormalities. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.2 ) • Hepatotoxicity: Monitor liver laboratory tests prior to the start of KRAZATI and monthly for 3 months after and as clinically indicated. Reduce the dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue based on severity. ( 2.3 , 5.3 ) • Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) / Pneumonitis: Monitor for new or worsening respiratory symptoms. Withhold KRAZATI for suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified. ( 2.3 , 5.4 ) 5.1 Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions KRAZATI can cause severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , who received single-agent KRAZATI, serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions observed were gastrointestinal bleeding in 3.8% including 0.8% Grade 3 or 4, gastrointestinal obstruction in 1.6% including 1.4% Grade 3 or 4, colitis in 0.5% including 0.3% Grade 3, ileus in 0.5%, and stenosis in 0.3%. In addition, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting occurred in 89% of 366 patients, including 9% Grade 3. Nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting led to dosage interruption or dose reduction in 29% of patients and permanent discontinuation of adagrasib in 0.3%. In patients who received KRAZATI in combination with cetuximab [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , serious gastrointestinal adverse reactions included gastrointestinal bleeding in 8.5% including 1.1% Grade 3 or 4, gastrointestinal obstruction in 5.3% including 5.3% Grade 3 or 4, colitis in 1.1% including 1.1% Grade 3 and ileus in 1.1%. In addition, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting occurred in 92% of 94 patients, including 6% Grade 3. Nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting led to adagrasib dose interruption or dose reduction in 23% of patients. Monitor and manage patients using supportive care, including antidiarrheals, antiemetics, or fluid replacement, as indicated. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue KRAZATI based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ]. 5.2 QTc Interval Prolongation KRAZATI can cause QTc interval prolongation, which can increase the risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias (e.g., torsades de pointes) or sudden death . In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] who received single-agent KRAZATI , 6% of 366 patients with at least one post-baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) assessment had an average QTc ≥ 501 msec and 11% of patients had an increase from baseline of QTc > 60 msec. KRAZATI causes concentration-dependent increases in the QTc interval [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] . In patients who received KRAZATI in combination with cetuximab [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , 5% of 93 patients with at least one post-baseline electrocardiogram (ECG) assessment had an average QTc ≥ 501 msec and 16% of patients had an increase from baseline of QTc > 60 msec. Avoid concomitant use of KRAZATI with other products with a known potential to prolong the QTc interval [see Drug Interactions (7.3) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ]. Avoid use of KRAZATI in patients with congenital long QT syndrome and in patients with concurrent QTc prolongation. Monitor ECGs and electrolytes, particularly potassium and magnesium, prior to starting KRAZATI, during concomitant use, and as clinically indicated in patients with congestive heart failure, bradyarrhythmias, electrolyte abnormalities, and in patients who are unable to avoid concomitant medications that are known to prolong the QT interval. Correct electrolyte abnormalities. Withhold, reduce the dose, or permanently discontinue KRAZATI depending on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ] . 5.3 Hepatotoxicity KRAZATI can cause hepatotoxicity, which may lead to drug-induced liver injury and hepatitis. In the pooled safety population of 366 patients [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] who received single-agent KRAZATI , drug-induced liver injury was reported in 0.3% of patients, including 0.3% Grade 3. A total of 32% of patients who received adagrasib had increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST); 5% were Grade 3 and 0.5% were Grade 4. The median time to first onset of increased ALT/AST was 3 weeks (range: 0.1 to 48). Overall hepatotoxicity occurred in 37%, and 7% were Grade 3 or 4. Hepatotoxicity leading to dose interruption or reduction occurred in 12% of patients. Adagrasib was discontinued due to hepatotoxicity in 0.5% of patients. In patients who received KRAZATI in combination with cetuximab [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , 29% had increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST); 5% were Grade 3 and 1.1% were Grade 4. The median time to first onset of increased ALT/AST was 4 weeks (range: 0.1 to 27). Overall hepatotoxicity occurred in 38%, and 10% were Grade 3 or 4. Hepatotoxicity leading to adagrasib dose interruption or reduction occurred in 12% of patients. Monitor liver laboratory tests (AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase and total bilirubin) prior to the start of KRAZATI and monthly for 3 months or as clinically indicated, with more frequent testing in patients who develop transaminase elevations. Reduce the dose, withhold, or permanently discontinue KRAZATI based on severity [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) and Adverse Reactions (6.1) ]. 5.4 Interstitial Lung Disease / Pneumonitis KRAZATI can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis, which can be fatal. In the pooled safety population [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] who received single-agent KRAZATI , ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 4.1% of patients, 1.4% were Grade 3 or 4, and one case was fatal. The median time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 12 weeks (range: 5 to 31 weeks). Adagrasib was discontinued due to ILD/pneumonitis in 0.8% of patients. In patients who received KRAZATI in combination with cetuximab [see Adverse Reactions (6.1) ] , Grade 1 ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 1.1% of patients. The time to first onset for ILD/pneumonitis was 38 weeks. Monitor patients for new or worsening respiratory symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis (e.g., dyspnea, cough, fever) during treatment with KRAZATI. Withhold KRAZATI in patients with suspected ILD/pneumonitis and permanently discontinue KRAZATI if no other potential causes of ILD/pneumonitis are identified [see Dosage and Administration (2.3) ].

Mechanism of action
Mechanism of Action Adagrasib is an irreversible inhibitor of KRAS G12C that covalently binds to the mutant cysteine in KRAS G12C and locks the mutant KRAS protein in its inactive state that prevents downstream signaling without affecting wild-type KRAS protein. Adagrasib inhibited tumor cell growth and viability in cells harboring KRAS G12C mutations and resulted in tumor regression in KRAS G12C-mutated tumor xenograft models with minimal off-target activity. Adagrasib in combination with cetuximab had increased antitumor activity in some cell line-derived and patient-derived KRAS G12C-mutant CRC tumor xenograft models compared to adagrasib or cetuximab alone.
