Evidence (selpercatinib):
A phase I/II study (LIBRETTO-001 [NCT03157128]) enrolled patients with RET fusion−positive solid tumors. RET fusion status was determined by local molecular testing (NGS, FISH, or polymerase chain reaction assay) without central confirmation. The primary end point was objective response.[84][Level of evidence C3]

Updated analysis was conducted in 316 patients with RET fusion–positive NSCLC.[84]

Among the 69 treatment-naïve patients, the objective response rate was 84% (95% CI, 73%–92%), and 6% achieved complete responses. The median DOR was 20.2 months (95% CI, 13.0–could not be evaluated); 40% of responses were ongoing at the data cutoff (median follow-up, 20.3 months). The median PFS was 22.0 months; 35% of patients were alive and progression-free at the data cutoff (median follow-up, 21.9 months).

Among the 247 patients who had received prior platinum-based chemotherapy, the objective response rate was 61% (95% CI, 55%–67%), and 7% achieved complete responses. The median DOR was 28.6 months (95% CI, 20.4–could not be evaluated); 49% of responses were ongoing (median follow-up, 21.2 months). The median PFS was 24.9 months; 38% of patients were alive and progression-free at the data cutoff (median follow-up, 24.7 months).

Among the 26 patients with measurable baseline CNS metastasis by the independent review committee, the intracranial objective response rate was 85% (95% CI, 65%–96%), and 27% had complete responses.

In the full safety population (n = 796), the median treatment duration was 36.1 months.

There was no significant change in the safety profile. Most adverse events were grade 1 to 2. The most common adverse events were edema, diarrhea, fatigue, dry mouth, hypertension, increased ALT and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and rash.
The FDA approved selpercatinib to treat adults with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with RET gene fusions, as detected by an FDA-approved test.
