In keeping with the provision outlined in the NOC/c Guidance, the following additional information is required to complete the assessment:

All responding patients will be followed for at least 2 years from the onset of response or until disease progression, whichever comes first.
  2. Submit the final report, as a SNDS-C, from the randomized dose-optimization sub-study [trial identifier removed]. The study should further characterize serious adverse events, including gastro-intestinal toxicity and compare the safety and efficacy of sotorasib 960mg daily (RP2D) versus a lower daily dose in patients with locally advanced or metastatic, KRAS G12C mutated, non-small cell lung cancer who have received at least one prior systemic therapy.
  3. Submit the final report, as a SNDS-C, from the multicenter, randomized clinical trial and submit the final progression-free survival (PFS) results that verifies and describes the clinical benefit of sotorasib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with a history of prior systemic therapy for advanced disease and whose tumors harbor Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) G12C mutation [trial identifier removed].
