TRIAL RESULTS
Not an actual patient.
The trial evaluated how many patients responded to KRAZATI, meaning their tumors shrank or disappeared, as well as how long the tumor responded to KRAZATI.
NSCLC=non-small cell lung cancer.
(Objective response rate)
Based on 112 people, of whom 1 person saw all signs of cancer disappear, and 47 people who saw a decrease in tumor size.
Of those people whose tumor responded to treatment, the duration of response was 8.5 months (median) with KRAZATI.
At this point in your NSCLC journey, you are priority number one. That’s why it is important to talk to your healthcare provider right away if you experience any side effects.
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.
The most common side effects of KRAZATI include: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, tiredness, muscle and bone pain, kidney problems, swelling, breathing trouble, and decreased appetite.
Certain abnormal laboratory test results are common with KRAZATI. Your healthcare provider will monitor you for abnormal laboratory tests and treat you if needed.
KRAZATI may cause fertility problems in males and females, which may affect your ability to have children. Talk to your healthcare provider if this is a concern for you.
These are not all the possible side effects of KRAZATI. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088. You may also report side effects to 1-844-647-2841.
