Olomorasib: Combination With Pembrolizumab in First-Line Treatment of Advanced/Metastatic NSCLC

Olomorasib is a potent, oral, highly selective inhibitor of guanosine diphosphate (GDP)-bound KRAS G12C.1

The LOXO-RAS-20001 study (NCT04956640) is a first-in-human phase 1 dose escalation/dose expansion study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of olomorasib in patients with KRAS G12C-mutant advanced solid tumors.1,2

SUNRAY-01 is a pivotal, global, phase 3 study in first-line advanced KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (NCT06119581). The study is designed to 

  • optimize the dosing of olomorasib in combination with first-line standard of care (SOC), and 
  • compare efficacy and safety of olomorasib plus SOC vs placebo plus SOC in first-line advanced KRAS G12C-mutated NSCLC.3,4

An integrated analysis (N=85) combined 43 patients from the LOXO-RAS-20001 phase 1 study and 42 patients from the dose optimization portion of SUNRAY-01 receiving olomorasib and pembrolizumab for KRAS G12C-mutant advanced/metastatic NSCLC in the first-line setting.5

Integrated Analysis Eligibility and Design

Patients who were eligible from LOXO-RAS-20001 and SUNRAY-01 for the integrated analysis included patients with

  • confirmed stage IIIB-IIIC or IV NSCLC
  • no prior therapy for metastatic disease (one cycle of pembrolizumab prior to enrollment was permitted)
  • programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression 0% to 100%
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1, and
  • small (≤1.5 cm), asymptomatic untreated or treated stable brain metastases.5

This integrated analysis evaluating the combination of olomorasib and pembrolizumab in first-line NSCLC included patients from part G of the phase 1 LOXO-RAS-20001 study and the dose optimization phase of part A of SUNRAY-01.4,5

Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive either 50 mg or 100 mg of olomorasib twice daily in combination with pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks. Stratification was based on PD-L1 status (0% to 49% vs ≥50%).5

Efficacy of First-Line Olomorasib and Pembrolizumab

The objective response rate (ORR) in efficacy-evaluable patients (n=84) was 73% (95% CI, 61.8-81.8) in patients with any PD-L1 score. In patients with a PD-L1 score of ≥50% (n=54), the ORR was 78% (95% CI, 64.4-88.0). Efficacy-evaluable patients had at least one post-baseline response assessment or had discontinued treatment before the first post-baseline response assessment. The median duration of follow-up was 12.4 months, and median duration of response (DOR) was not reached.5

Safety Profile of First-Line Olomorasib and Pembrolizumab

The safety profile of olomorasib plus pembrolizumab was consistent with known safety data for these therapies. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were manageable with dose modifications and/or corticosteroids.5 The TRAEs in this analysis are summarized in Table 2.

Abbreviations: ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; BID = twice daily; ILD = interstitial lung disease; IQR = interquartile range; TRAE = treatment-related adverse event.

a TRAEs are olomorasib and/or pembrolizumab related. No patient had grade 5 TRAEs.

b Safety population consists of 85 patients who received at least one dose of study treatment. Olomorasib dose 50 or 100 mg BID.

c Median duration of treatment (IQR) was 10.3 (5.6-13.3) months.

d Data are n (%) unless otherwise indicated.

A total of 29 patients (34.1% of the safety population) experienced dose reductions of olomorasib due to TRAEs. Reasons for dose reductions included 

  • alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase (ALT/AST) increased (n=9)
  • diarrhea (n=8)
  • hepatitis (n=2), and
  • liver disorder, dysphagia, cholecystitis, fatigue, rash, pneumonitis, lung injury, myalgia, peripheral edema, and rhabdomyolysis (all n=1).5

A total of 10 patients (11.8%) discontinued the treatment regimen of olomorasib and pembrolizumab due to TRAEs. The most common reason for permanent discontinuation was hepatitis (n=3). One patient each discontinued due to

  • ALT increased
  • AST increased followed by ALT increased
  • diarrhea followed by ALT/AST increased
  • diabetic ketoacidosis followed by diarrhea
  • rash
  • pulmonary toxicity, and
  • pneumonitis.5

The median time to onset of grade ≥3 hepatic events was 61 days (range, 23-302), and the median duration of grade ≥3 hepatic events was 7 days. All grade ≥3 hepatic events resolved to grade 1 or baseline after dose modifications and/or corticosteroids. No concurrent clinical symptoms were observed.5

At an updated analysis (median duration of follow-up, 20.1 months), TRAEs of any grade occurred in 77 patients (90.6%) of the safety population (n=85). TRAEs were

  • grade 1 in 11 patients (12.9%)
  • grade 2 in 29 patients (34.1%)
  • grade 3 in 31 patients (36.5%), and
  • grade 4 in 6 patients (7.1%).7

No grade 5 TRAEs were reported. Olomorasib in combination with pembrolizumab continued to demonstrate a manageable safety profile in the safety population across all PD-L1 expression levels.7

Results in Patients Who Received One Prior Cycle of SOC or No Prior SOC Treatment Before Enrollment

A subgroup analysis of the 85 patients treated with olomorasib and pembrolizumab in the integrated analysis evaluated efficacy and safety outcomes by prior receipt of one cycle of SOC before enrollment (defined as one 21-day cycle of pembrolizumab 200 mg), with a median duration of follow-up of 20.7 months.6

Baseline characteristics of patients who did (n=14) and did not (n=71) receive one prior cycle of SOC were comparable. In efficacy-evaluable patients, the

  • ORR was 71.4% (95% CI, 41.9-91.6) with one prior cycle of SOC (n=14) and 72.9% (95% CI, 60.9-82.8) with no prior SOC (n=70)
  • disease control rate (DCR) was 100.0% (95% CI, 76.8-100.0) with one prior cycle of SOC and 88.6% (95% CI, 78.7-94.9) with no prior SOC, and
  • 6-month progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 71.4% with one prior cycle of SOC and 78.0% with no prior SOC (12-month PFS rates were 71.4% and 63.7%, respectively).6

Any-grade TRAEs occurred in 100% (n=14) of patients with one prior cycle of SOC and 88.7% (n=63) of patients with no prior SOC; grade ≥3 TRAEs occurred in 35.7% (n=5) and 45.1% (n=32), and treatment regimen discontinuations due to TRAEs occurred in 14.3% (n=2) and 11.3% (n=8), respectively. No grade 5 TRAEs were reported.6

Prior receipt of one cycle of SOC appeared to have no detrimental effect on the safety and efficacy of olomorasib plus pembrolizumab, though the analysis was limited by small sample sizes.6

Results in Patients With PD-L1 Expression Level of 0% to 49%

An integrated analysis from the dose optimization cohorts of LOXO-RAS-20001 and SUNRAY-01 (median duration of follow-up, 20.1 months) evaluated first-line olomorasib and pembrolizumab in 31 patients with PD-L1 expression 0% to 49% (13 with PD-L1 <1% and 18 with PD-L1 1%-49%).7

In efficacy-evaluable patients (n=30), the

  • ORR was 63.3% (19/30)
  • DCR was 90.0% (27/30)
  • median time to response was 1.5 months (95% CI, 1.3-2.9), and
  • median DOR was 12.6 months (95% CI, 6.2 to not evaluable [NE]).7

In the PD-L1 <1% subgroup (n=12), the

  • ORR was 58.3% (7/12)
  • DCR was 91.7% (11/12), and
  • median DOR was 9.9 months (95% CI, 4.4-NE).7

In the PD-L1 1% to 49% subgroup (n=18), the

  • ORR was 66.7% (12/18)
  • DCR was 88.9% (16/18), and
  • median DOR was NE (95% CI, 4.1-NE).7

At the time of analysis, 29% of patients with PD-L1 expression of 0% to 49% had received treatment for at least 12 months and remained on treatment.7

Safety was not assessed specifically in the subgroup of patients with PD-L1 expression of 0% to 49%. Safety across all treated patients (PD-L1 expression 0%-100%) is presented in the Safety Profile of First-Line Olomorasib and Pembrolizumab section above.7

SUNRAY-01: Phase 3 Study in Advanced/Metastatic NSCLC

SUNRAY-01 (NCT06119581) is a global, phase 3 study evaluating olomorasib, a KRAS G12C inhibitor, plus pembrolizumab with or without chemotherapy in first-line advanced KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC.4

The SUNRAY-01 study design incorporates pragmatic elements including

  • the allowance of one cycle of SOC prior to enrollment in cases where immediate treatment is clinically indicated, while awaiting screening results and/or considering treatment options
  • flexible enrollment using local biomarker testing (tissue or liquid), and
  • a reduced operational burden by consolidating patient populations under a single trial protocol.8

As of August 2026, recruitment for the phase 3 trial is ongoing.3

Eligibility

Eligible patients for the SUNRAY-01 trial must 

  • be ≥18 years of age with ECOG PS of 0-1
  • have measurable disease per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
  • have stage IIIB-IIIC or IV NSCLC not suitable for curative intent radical surgery or radiation therapy, and
  • have KRAS G12C mutation in tumor or blood and known PD-L1 expression (0%-100%; ≥50% in part A only).3,4

Participants with asymptomatic (lesion ≤1.5 cm) or previously treated radiographically and clinically stable brain metastases are eligible.4

Prior systemic therapy for advanced or metastatic NSCLC is not permitted; however, patients who had received one cycle of SOC treatment prior to enrollment are allowed if immediate treatment is clinically indicated.4

Study Design and Endpoints

Part A

Following dose optimization for olomorasib (50 mg vs 100 mg twice daily) in combination with pembrolizumab, patients (n=384) will be randomized 1:1 to receive either olomorasib plus pembrolizumab or placebo plus pembrolizumab. Participants with PD-L1 expression ≥50% are eligible to be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.4

The primary objective of part A of the phase 3 study is to compare the efficacy of olomorasib plus pembrolizumab based on PFS per RECIST version 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).4

Part B

Following confirmation of the optimal dose of olomorasib in the safety lead-in portion, patients (n=552) will be randomized 1:1 to receive either olomorasib or placebo in combination with pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and a platinum agent (for 4 cycles). Participants with PD-L1 expression 0% to 100% are eligible to be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.4

The primary objective of part B of the phase 3 study is to compare the efficacy of olomorasib with pembrolizumab, pemetrexed, and platinum based on PFS per RECIST version 1.1 as assessed by BICR.4

LOXO-RAS-20001: Phase 1A/B Study

The LOXO-RAS-20001 study (NCT04956640) is an open-label, multicenter, phase 1 study to evaluate safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of olomorasib in patients with KRAS G12C-mutant tumors. This study is being conducted in multiple parts including dose escalation and dose expansion, which will evaluate olomorasib as monotherapy and in combination with other drugs.1,2

Eligibility

Eligible patients for the phase 1a dose escalation portion must 

  • be ≥18 years of age
  • have an ECOG PS of 0-1
  • have measurable disease per RECIST version 1.1
  • have locally advanced/metastatic solid tumor, and
  • have locally assessed KRAS G12C mutation.1

Study Design and Endpoints

The key objectives of this study are to

  • evaluate safety and tolerability
  • determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose 
  • evaluate pharmacokinetics, and
  • evaluate ORR and DOR per RECIST version 1.1.1

In the phase 1a monotherapy escalation portion, the study uses a modified toxicity probability interval 2 design. Patients will be dosed in a 21-day cycle with a dose-limiting toxicity evaluation period, allowing for intrapatient dose escalation. In patients with any KRAS G12C-mutant advanced tumors, the dose of olomorasib could be escalated from 50 mg twice daily up to 200 mg twice daily.1

The phase 1b combination expansion is further split into several arms to study various combinations and tumor types.9

A pan-tumor analysis was also performed that includes patients from the phase 1a monotherapy portion and phase 1b portion with various tumor types.10
