Article Synopsis
  • A 64-year-old man with advanced lung adenocarcinoma and a KRAS mutation was treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and later started on sotorasib.
  • After one month on sotorasib, he developed severe anemia, indicated by low serum hemoglobin levels, high erythropoietin levels, and low reticulocyte counts.
  • Bone marrow tests showed pure red cell aplasia, leading to the conclusion that sotorasib was the likely cause of the anemia after it improved upon stopping the medication.
