02:02 Monday, January 10, 2022 (RTTNews.com) - Amgen Inc. (AMGN), said on Monday that the European Commission has granted conditional marketing authorization for Lumykras for patients with KRAS G12C-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

"Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s)," the company said in a statement.

In the U.S., Lumykras was granted accelerated approval by the FDA last May. The drug is now approved in 35 countries around the world.

Lumykras 960 mg, administered orally once-daily, is the first and only targeted therapy for KRAS G12C-mutated non-small cell lung cancer with proven efficacy, Amgen noted.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 84 percent of the 2.2 million new lung cancer diagnoses globally each year, including approximately 0.4 million new cases in Europe.
