What is Adagrasib?
Adagrasib is a groundbreaking targeted therapy developed to treat certain cancers caused by a mutation in the KRAS G12C gene. This mutation is commonly found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and some other solid tumors.
Adagrasib Tablets work by specifically targeting and inhibiting KRAS G12C, a protein that drives cancer growth in these patients. As a precision medicine, Adagrasib offers a more personalized approach to cancer treatment with fewer off-target effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
Key Benefits of Adagrasib Tablets
✅ Precision Targeting: Directly blocks KRAS G12C mutation, slowing tumor progression.
✅ Oral Convenience: Easy-to-take tablet format for at-home use.
✅ Effective in Advanced Cancer: Especially beneficial for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
✅ Well-Tolerated: Compared to chemotherapy, Adagrasib offers a more targeted approach, minimizing unnecessary side effects.
Medical Uses of Adagrasib
- Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): For patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced or metastatic NSCLC.
- Other Cancers: Being explored for colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and other tumors with KRAS G12C mutations.
Possible Side Effects
Although Adagrasib is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
