Sotoras Tablet 120 mg contains Sotorasib, an oral targeted cancer therapy used in the treatment of certain types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic mutations. It is a KRAS G12C inhibitor that works by targeting and blocking a key abnormal protein responsible for cancer cell growth. This precision medicine helps slow disease progression in eligible patients under oncologist supervision.

Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Sotorasib 120 mg
Mechanism of Action
Sotorasib is a targeted inhibitor of the KRAS G12C mutation. The KRAS protein plays a critical role in cell signaling pathways that control cell growth and division. In cancer, the mutated KRAS G12C protein remains permanently active, leading to uncontrolled tumor growth. Sotorasib binds irreversibly to this mutated protein and locks it in an inactive state, thereby inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and tumor progression.
