    • Pralsetinib receives full FDA approval for #RET fusion positive NSCLC. Previous accelerated approval from the ARROW trial converted to full approval with larger dataset (n=237). 1L RR 78% with mDOR 13.4m. In later lines, RR 63%, mDOR 38.8m. https://t.co/FJIKf1TjCb

    • On 8/9/23, the @US_FDA granted regular approval to pralsetinib for adult patients w/metastatic rearranged during transfection (RET) fusion-positive #NSCLC, as detected by an FDA-approved test. Learn More: https://t.co/REfxNidRqn #LCSM https://t.co/fdpOlEOb8E

    Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in both men and women with over 130,000 deaths and more than 220,000 new cases expected each year in the United States1. Eighty to ninety percent of newly diagnosed cases are Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with 50% of those being histologically adenocarcinoma2. Rearranged during Transfection (RET), a proto-oncogene coding for a tyrosine kinase receptor, was discovered in NSCLC in 2012 as on oncogenic driver 3, 4. RET fusion /rearrangement occurs 2 % of lung adenocarcinomas with most patients being never smokers and a median age of 61 years5, 6.

    • Case series @ClinicalLung outlines risk of chylous ascites with selective #RET inhibitors selpercatinib and pralsetinib. Unclear mechanism; important to recognize as it could be mistaken for progression. Cases here responded to dose reduction, octreotide. https://t.co/yo5aFpDJMI

    In their ongoing RET inhibitor rivalry, Eli Lilly is pulling further ahead of Blueprint Medicines, even as the latter company is being abandoned by Roche. | In their ongoing RET inhibitor rivalry, Eli Lilly is pulling further ahead of Blueprint Medicines, even as the latter company is being abandoned by Roche.

    • LIBRETTO-431 shows first line selpercatinib provides longer PFS than chemo-immunotherapy in #RET fusion positive NSCLC. Await full data but no surprise. Selective RET inhibitors are among the more effective and better tolerated targeted agents in NSCLC. https://t.co/GU4gbmsOKb

    Abstract. On September 21, 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approval to selpercatinib (Retevmo®, Eli Lilly and Company) for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a rearranged during transfection (RET) gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative…

    • Summary of the tumor-agnostic FDA approval of selpercatinib for cancers with #RET fusions @CCR_AACR. Approval 9/21/22 based on LIBRETTO-001 with RR 44% (in tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid, n=41). https://t.co/gRcshM1IRS

    Abstract. Biomarker-driven cancer therapy has revolutionized precision oncology. With a better understanding of tumor biology, tissue-agnostic targets have been characterized and explored, which ultimately led to therapeutics with pan-cancer efficacy. To date, five molecular biomarkers have obtained FDA tissue-agnostic approval for targeted therapies and immunotherapies. Those include BRAFV600E…
