  • Clinical trials
    • To demonstrate the additional benefit of selpercatinib, the pharmaceutical manufacturer has submitted the ongoing, uncontrolled, prospective basket trial LIBRETTO-001.

Adults with advanced thyroid carcinoma; with an existing RET receptor tyrosine kinase (rearranged during transfection – RET) fusion, for whom systemic therapy is indicated; following prior treatment with sorafenib and/or lenvatinib

  • For the treatment of adults with advanced thyroid carcinoma; with a RET receptor tyrosine kinase (rearranged during transfection – RET) fusion, for whom systemic therapy is indicated; following prior treatment with sorafenib and/or lenvatinib, an additional benefit is not proven.
  • The results from the LIBRETTO-001 study alone are not suitable for assessing the additional benefit of selpercatinib, as they do not allow for a comparison with the appropriate comparator therapy.
  • It is not possible to assess additional benefit on the basis of this data. Consequently, additional benefit is not proven.
  • No suitable data are available for assessing the additional benefit of selpercatinib compared with the appropriate comparator therapy. Consequently, additional benefit is not proven.
