Discovery and development of Krazati (adagrasib/MRTX849), a potent, selective, orally bioavailable, covalent KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitor

Covalent Modifiers

Adrian L. Gill, Mathew A. Marx RAS Drug Discovery Past, Present and Future 2025 , 205-227 [link] Krazati (adagrasib/MRTX849) is a potent, selective, and covalent KRAS G12C inhibitor, representing a significant breakthrough in directly targeting KRAS. Adagrasib demonstrates favorable drug-like properties, selectively modifying mutant cysteine 12 in GDP-bound KRAS G12C , leading to the inhibition of KRAS-dependent signaling both in vitro and in vivo, and tumor regression in many KRAS G12C -positiv

The Different Phases of Clinical Trials

Quanticate

The development of investigational new drugs (INDs) involves performing clinical trials (or studies) to assess the safety and efficacy of the IND in humans. These trials are usually classified into 4 phases of development (Phase 1 to 4), with each potentially lasting for several years. Successful completion of each phase and approval by the appropriate regulatory authority or authorities (the European Medicines Agency [EMA] in the European Union, Food and Drug Administration [FDA] in the United
