Safety/efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Using Simon 2-stage design, 49 evaluable patients will provide
80% power to exclude a clinically uninteresting OTRR of 29% or
less in favour of a clinically interesting rate of 46% or greater,
with a one-sided alpha of 5%. If there are 8 or fewer responses
in the first 28 patients, consideration will be given to stopping the
study for futility. The null hypothesis will be rejected if 20 or more
objective tumour responses are observed in 49 evaluable
patients. A total of 52 patients will be recruited to account allow
for patient dropout.
The uninteresting OTRR of 29% or less is based on the lower
bound of the 95% CI reported for sotorasib monotherapy. OTRR
of 46% or greater is of clinical interest, as it exceeds the
performance of either sotorasib monotherapy or the combination
of carboplatin/pemetrexed/bevacizumab.

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to test the effectiveness of a new treatment combination for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumour has a specific type of gene mutation called KRAS G12C. This mutation is believed to cause the tumour to grow and spread.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 years and older, with either:
a) newly diagnosed, treatment naïve metastatic (Stage IV) non-squamous NSCLC, or
b) recurrent non-squamous NSCLC with no disease progression for at least 6 months following prior curative lung surgery and (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, or prior curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy and immunotherapy maintenance, for non-resectable stage III cancer.

Study details
The new drug, sotorasib, is a tablet treatment which is targeted against the KRAS G12C gene mutation. Early results show that sotorasib is moderately active when given alone. The effectiveness of sotorasib might be increased when given in combination with other anti-cancer drugs. This study will investigate whether sotorasib used in combination with two chemotherapy drugs (called carboplatin and pemetrexed) and bevacizumab (which improves anti-cancer drug delivery), can result in better outcomes. The combination of carboplatin-pemetrexed-bevacizumab is a proven treatment for NSCLC.
