Introduction: We evaluated the risk factors and outcomes for patients who experienced hepatotoxicity after use of sotorasib in KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC. Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of patients with KRAS G12C mutated NSCLC who received sotorasib between May 28th, 2021, and December 31st, 2021 across all Mayo Clinic sites, with follow up until December 31st, 2022. Results: Thirty-one patients received sotorasib as standard of care treatment. Grade 3 or higher hepatoxicity was seen in 32% (10/31) patients presenting at a median of 51 days (range, 27–123) of sotorasib initiation. Baseline demographics were comparable between patients with and without ≥grade 3 hepatotoxicity, except for presence of CNS metastases and time from prior immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment. Improvement in liver tests was observed in all patients after stopping sotorasib, and it was restarted at a lower dose in 8 patients. Despite dose reduction, hepatotoxicity requiring sotorasib discontinuation occurred in 2 patients.Twenty-eight of 31 patients had received prior ICI. Median time from prior ICI therapy was 69 days (range, 4–542). Rates of ≥grade 3 hepatoxicity were 75% (3/4), 64% (7/11) and 0% (0/13) for patients who received ICI within 30 days, 31–90 days and >90 days. None of the 3 patients without prior ICI exposure developed hepatoxicity. The median PFS and OS were 3.9 months and 9.9 months respectively. Conclusion: One-third of patients developed grade 3 or higher sotorasib induced hepatotoxicity. Risk of hepatotoxicity was higher in patients who received sotorasib within 90 days of ICI treatment.
