About Adagrasib (MRTX849)

Adagrasib is an investigational, orally available small molecule that is designed to potently and selectively inhibit a form of KRAS which harbors a substitution mutation (G12C). KRAS G12C mutations are frequently linked to negative prognoses and are present in approximately 14% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma patients, 3-4% of colorectal cancer patients (CRC), and subsets of other types of cancer. Adagrasib is being evaluated as a monotherapy to treat patients with KRAS G12C-positive advanced solid tumors, including a registration enabling cohort in NSCLC. Adagrasib is also currently being evaluated in various combination cohorts in NSCLC and CRC with a PD-1 inhibitor, EGFR inhibitor, pan-EGFR inhibitor, and SHP2 inhibitor.

About Mirati Therapeutics

Mirati Therapeutics (NASDAQ: MRTX) is a San Diego-based late-stage biotechnology company relentlessly focused on translating drug discovery and research into new treatments for patients by advancing and delivering novel therapeutics that target the genetic and immunologic drivers of cancer. Mirati is advancing a novel pipeline to treat large patient populations across multiple programs and tumor types, including two programs, adagrasib and sitravatinib, in registration-enabling studies to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Adagrasib is an investigational small molecule and selective KRAS G12C inhibitor. MRTX1133 is an investigational small molecule and selective KRAS G12D inhibitor in preclinical development. The KRAS G12D mutation drives tumor growth and poor outcomes in an even greater number of cancer patients than the KRAS G12C mutation.

Sitravatinib is an investigational spectrum-selective inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) designed to enhance immune responses through the inhibition of immunosuppressive signaling. Sitravatinib is being evaluated in multiple clinical trials to treat patients who are refractory to prior immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, including a Phase 3 trial of sitravatinib in combination with nivolumab in NSCLC.
