Company to host Virtual Investor Event on September 20, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. ET / 5:30 a.m. PT

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRTX), a clinical-stage targeted oncology company, today announced positive topline results from the potentially registration-enabling cohort of the Phase 2 KRYSTAL-1 study, evaluating adagrasib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring the KRAS^G12C mutation following prior systemic therapy. 

The analysis was completed in the intent-to-treat population, which showed adagrasib 600mg BID demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 43% and a disease control rate of 80%, based on central independent review as of June 15, 2021. The median follow-up was 9 months. Importantly, 98.3% of patients received adagrasib following treatment with immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The safety and tolerability profile was consistent with previously reported findings for adagrasib in patients with advanced NSCLC.

The Company plans to submit detailed results from the ongoing Phase 2 registration-enabling cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study in previously-treated patients with KRAS^G12C-mutated NSCLC for presentation at a medical congress in early 2022.

"The KRAS mutation has historically been challenging to target, leaving patients with limited treatment options," said Charles M. Baum, M.D., Ph.D., president and chief executive officer, Mirati Therapeutics, Inc. "These positive topline data further strengthen our belief in adagrasib as a potentially differentiated therapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring the KRAS^G12C mutation. We look forward to submitting our New Drug Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the fourth quarter of 2021 and advancing our expanding adagrasib development program, which includes numerous monotherapy and combination studies in KRAS^G12C-mutated solid tumors." 

Updated Findings from Phase 1/1b NSCLC Cohort of KRYSTAL-1 Study

In addition to these topline Phase 2 results, the Company reported updated findings from the Phase 1/1b KRYSTAL-1 study evaluating adagrasib 600mg BID in all 19 patients enrolled with KRAS^G12C-mutated advanced NSCLC as of the June 15, 2021 data cutoff. 

Results showed that the investigator assessed ORR was 58%. Two of the 11 responses occurred in patients after being on treatment for more than 10 months. The median follow-up was 17.3 months. The median duration of treatment and median duration of response were 9.5 months and 12.6 months, respectively. In addition, 64% of responders were still on treatment, and continuing to respond. The median progression free survival was 8.3 months and median overall survival was not reached. Grade 3/4 treatment related adverse events were observed in 26% of patients, with one Grade 5 event.

Virtual Investor Event

Mirati Therapeutics will host a virtual Investor Event on Monday, September 20, 2021 at 8:30 a.m. ET / 5:30 a.m. PT.

Company executives will discuss:

• A top-line update from the Phase 2 registrational cohort of the KRYSTAL-1 study evaluating adagrasib in previously-treated patients with KRAS^G12C-mutated NSCLC
• Findings from the colorectal cancer (CRC) cohort of the Phase 1/2 KRYSTAL-1 study evaluating adagrasib as monotherapy and in combination with cetuximab in patients with heavily pretreated CRC harboring the KRAS^G12C mutation, as presented at the 2021 European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress
• Results from the Phase 2 MRTX-500 study evaluating sitravatinib combined with nivolumab in patients with non-squamous NSCLC who progressed on or after prior checkpoint inhibitor therapy, to be presented at the 2021 ESMO Congress

Investors and the general public are invited to register and listen to a live webcast of the event through the "Investors and Media" section on Mirati.com. A replay of the event will be available shortly after the conclusion of the event.

About the KRYSTAL-1 Study

KRYSTAL-1 is an open-label Phase 1/2 multiple expansion cohort trial evaluating adagrasib as monotherapy and in combination with other anticancer therapies in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring the KRAS^G12C mutation.

About KRAS^G12C in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, accounting for 2.21 million new cases and 1.8 million deaths worldwide in 2020. Lung cancer consists of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in approximately 85 percent of cases and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in approximately 15 percent of cases. KRAS^G12C is the most common KRAS mutation in NSCLC, present in approximately 14 percent of patients with lung adenocarcinoma, and is a biomarker mutation of poor prognosis.

About Adagrasib (MRTX849)

Adagrasib is an investigational, highly selective, and potent oral small-molecule inhibitor of KRAS^G12C that is optimized to sustain target inhibition, an attribute that could be important to treat KRAS^G12C-mutated cancers, as the KRAS^G12C protein regenerates every 24-48 hours. Adagrasib is a being evaluated as monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies in patients with advanced KRAS^G12C-mutated solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer.
