Side Effects for Krazati
The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:
- Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- QTc Interval Prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Hepatotoxicity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)/Pneumonitis [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
The pooled safety population described in the WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS reflect exposure to adagrasib as a single agent at 600 mg orally twice daily in 366 patients with NSCLC and other solid tumors enrolled in KRYSTAL-1 and KRYSTAL-12 (NCT04685135), respectively. Among 366 patients who received adagrasib, 39% of patients were exposed for 6 months or longer and 12% were exposed for greater than one year. In this pooled safety population, the most common (≥25%) adverse reactions were nausea (70%), diarrhea (69%), vomiting (57%), fatigue (55%), musculoskeletal pain (38%), hepatotoxicity (37%), renal impairment (33%), edema (30%), dyspnea (26%), and decreased appetite (29%). In this pooled safety population, the most common Grade 3 or 4 (≥2%) laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocytes (20%), decreased hemoglobin (7%), increased alanine aminotransferase (4.5%), increased aspartate aminotransferase (4.2%), hypokalemia (3.6%), hyponatremia (3.4%), increased lipase (2.5%), decreased leukocytes (2.5%), decreased neutrophils (2.3%), and increased alkaline phosphatase (2.0%).
The data described in WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and below also reflects exposure to adagrasib in combination with cetuximab in 94 patients with KRAS G12C-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic CRC in KRYSTAL-1.

Permanent discontinuation of adagrasib due to an adverse reaction occurred in 13% of patients. Adverse reactions which resulted in permanent discontinuation of adagrasib occurring in two patients each (1.7%) were pneumonia and pneumonitis and occurring in one patient each (0.9%) were cerebrovascular accident, dyspnea, decreased ejection fraction, encephalitis, gastrointestinal obstruction, hemorrhage, hepatotoxicity, hypotension, muscular weakness, pulmonary embolism, pyrexia, respiratory failure and sepsis.
Dose interruptions of adagrasib due to an adverse reaction occurred in 77% of patients. Adverse reactions requiring dosage interruption in ≥2% of patients who received adagrasib included nausea, hepatotoxicity, fatigue, vomiting, pneumonia, renal impairment, diarrhea, QTc interval prolongation, anemia, dyspnea, increased lipase, decreased appetite, dizziness, hyponatremia, muscular weakness, increased amylase, pneumonitis, sepsis and decreased weight.
Dose reductions of adagrasib due to an adverse reaction occurred in 28% of patients. Adverse reactions which required dose reductions in ≥2% of patients who received adagrasib included hepatotoxicity, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and renal impairment.
The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) were diarrhea, nausea, fatigue, vomiting, musculoskeletal pain, hepatotoxicity, renal impairment, dyspnea, edema, decreased appetite, cough, pneumonia, dizziness, constipation, abdominal pain, and QTc interval prolongation. The most common laboratory abnormalities (≥25%) were decreased lymphocytes, increased aspartate aminotransferase, decreased sodium, decreased hemoglobin, increased creatinine, decreased albumin, increased alanine aminotransferase, increased lipase, decreased platelets, decreased magnesium, and decreased potassium.
