The efficacy results from our study are promising in this population with unmet needs and should set a new standard of care for metastatic colorectal cancer patients with KRAS G12C mutation who progressed following prior standard treatments,” said Marwan Fakih, M.D., professor in the Department of Medical Oncology & Therapeutics Research and the Judy & Bernard Briskin Distinguished Director of Clinical Research at City of Hope. Fakih is lead author of the New England Journal of Medicine study and principal investigator of the clinical trial at City of Hope.
