KRAS G12C inhibitor
ADAGRASIB (brand name KRAZATI) is a prescription medicine used to treat adults with certain types of lung or colorectal cancer that have a specific KRAS G12C mutation. It works by blocking the protein that helps cancer cells grow.
How it worksADAGRASIB is a KRas inhibitor. It works by sticking to the mutated KRAS G12C protein and locking it in an 'off' position, which stops the signal that tells cancer cells to grow.
