Therapeutic indication of the resolution

Retsevmo as monotherapy is used for the treatment of adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with advanced RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer that is refractory to radioactive iodine (when radioactive iodine is appropriate); first-line therapy. Retsevmo as monotherapy is used for the treatment of adolescents aged 12 years and older with advanced RET fusion-positive thyroid carcinoma; following prior therapy with a protein kinase inhibitor.

Subpopulation Indication Comparator
a) Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and older with advanced RET fusion-positive, radioiodine-refractory thyroid carcinoma, first-line therapy - Sorafenib or - Lenvatinib (for adults only)
b) Adolescents aged 12 years and older with advanced RET fusion-positive thyroid carcinoma, after previous therapy with a protein kinase inhibitor Patient-individualised therapy under selection of – sorafenib, – lenvatinib and – Best supportive care, taking into account previous therapy and general condition

Data not accepted (Dossier: Single-arm + no comparison)

  • Clinical trials
    • The LIBRETTO-001 trial is a multicentre, single-arm, prospective, two-phase basket trial that has been ongoing since 2017.
    • The LIBRETTO-121 trial is a multicentre, single-arm, prospective basket trial that has been ongoing since 2019 and is also being conducted in two phases.

a) Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over with advanced RET-fusion-positive, radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer, first-line treatment

  • The additional benefit is not proven.
  • For the benefit assessment, the pharmaceutical manufacturer has submitted the results of the LIBRETTO-001 and LIBRETTO-121 studies. Due to their single-arm study design, the LIBRETTO-001 and LIBRETTO-121 studies do not allow for a comparison with the appropriate comparator therapy and are therefore not suitable for assessing the additional benefit of selpercatinib.

b) Adolescents aged 12 years and over with advanced RET-fusion-positive thyroid carcinoma, following prior treatment with a protein kinase inhibitor

  • An additional benefit is not proven.
  • The pharmaceutical manufacturer has not submitted any data that would enable an assessment of the additional benefit.
