Frequently asked questions about Opnurasib

What is Opnurasib?

Opnurasib is an investigational small molecule oncology drug being developed by Novartis AG for KRAS G12C mutant solid tumors. It is being studied in KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and other advanced solid tumors harboring the KRAS G12C mutation. It is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

What does Opnurasib target?

Opnurasib targets KRAS G12C, a mutant form of the KRAS protein. By binding this specific mutant target, the drug is designed to act on tumors that carry the KRAS G12C mutation. Its clinical program selects patients based on this biomarker, including KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and other advanced solid tumors.

Who makes Opnurasib?

Opnurasib is developed by Novartis AG, which trades under the ticker NVS. Novartis is running the clinical program for the drug, including studies in KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and other advanced solid tumors harboring the KRAS G12C mutation.

What phase is Opnurasib in?

Opnurasib is in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The program includes a Phase 2 first-line study in KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer and Phase 1 combination and rollover studies.

What clinical trials is Opnurasib in?

Opnurasib is being studied in several trials, including NCT05445843, a Phase 2 first-line study in KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer; NCT05358249, a Phase 1 platform study of combinations in advanced solid tumors with the KRAS G12C mutation; NCT07468071, a Phase 1 rollover study; and NCT05714891, a Phase 2 neoadjuvant platform trial in non-small cell lung cancer.

Is Opnurasib the same as JDQ443?

Yes, Opnurasib is also known as JDQ443. Both names refer to the same investigational KRAS G12C-targeted small molecule developed by Novartis AG. The clinical trials for this drug are listed under both names, including the Phase 2 study NCT05445843, which uses the JDQ443 designation.
