TRIAL RESULTS
Not an actual patient.
The trial evaluated how many people responded to KRAZATI + cetuximab and how long their tumors responded to treatment.
(Objective response rate)
Based on 94 people, 32 people saw a decrease in tumor size. No person saw their tumors disappear completely.
(Duration of response)
Of those people (n=32) whose tumors responded to treatment, the median duration of response was 5.8 months.
Experiences with KRAZATI vary; speak with your doctor for more information.
KRAZATI can cause serious side effects, including stomach and intestinal (gastrointestinal) problems, changes in the electrical activity of your heart called QTc prolongation, liver problems, and lung or breathing problems.
Listen to your body, listen to yourself. If you experience any side effects, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider right away.
Stomach and intestinal (gastrointestinal) problems
Stomach and intestinal side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting, are common with KRAZATI but can also sometimes be severe. KRAZATI can also cause serious stomach and intestinal side effects such as bleeding, obstruction, inflammation of the colon (colitis), and narrowing (stenosis).
Call your healthcare provider if you develop any of the signs or symptoms of stomach or intestinal problems listed above during treatment with KRAZATI.
Your healthcare provider may prescribe an antidiarrheal medicine or anti-nausea medicine, or other treatment, as needed.
Changes in the electrical activity of your heart (called QTc prolongation)
Certain changes can occur in the electrical activity of your heart during treatment with KRAZATI and can be seen on a test called an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). QTc prolongation can increase your risk for irregular heartbeats that can be life-threatening, such as torsades de pointes, and can lead to sudden death.

Liver problems
Abnormal liver blood test results are common with KRAZATI and can sometimes be severe. Your healthcare provider should do blood tests before starting and during treatment with KRAZATI to check your liver function. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of liver problems, including:

Lung or breathing problems
KRAZATI may cause inflammation of the lungs that can lead to death. Tell your healthcare provider or get emergency medical help right away if you have new or worsening shortness of breath, cough, or fever.
