Sotoxen (Sotorasib 120 mg) is a targeted anticancer therapy designed specifically for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It belongs to a class of precision oncology medicines that act on a defined genetic mutation rather than affecting all rapidly dividing cells.
The primary therapeutic use of Sotoxen is to manage locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC in adult patients whose tumors test positive for the KRAS G12C mutation. This mutation plays a key role in uncontrolled cancer cell growth, and Sotoxen works by selectively inhibiting this abnormal protein.
Therapeutic effects include:
- Slowing down or stopping cancer cell proliferation
- Blocking KRAS G12C mutation-driven signaling pathways
- Helping control tumor growth in advanced lung cancer
- Improving disease management after prior systemic therapies
- Providing a targeted treatment option where conventional chemotherapy may be less effective
Sotoxen is not a general chemotherapy drug; it is a precision medicine that focuses on a specific molecular driver of cancer, making it an important option in modern oncology treatment strategies.
Each film-coated tablet of Sotoxen contains:
- Active Ingredient: Sotorasib INN 120 mg
- Dosage Form: Film-coated oral tablet
- Strength: 120 mg per tablet
Inactive ingredients (excipients) may include standard pharmaceutical carriers used to maintain tablet stability, absorption, and bioavailability. These excipients are commonly used in oral solid dosage forms and do not have pharmacological activity.
Sotoxen (Sotorasib) should always be used under the supervision of a qualified oncologist experienced in cancer therapy and genetic mutation-based treatments.
