1656P - Durable efficacy of selpercatinib in patients (pts) with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC): Update of the LIBRETTO-001 trial
Excerpt:With longer f/u and additional pts, selpercatinib continues to demonstrate very durable responses in MTC patients with or without prior cab/van therapy, suggesting first line use of selpercatinib appears to be highly effective in treatment of MTC. The safety profile is unchanged despite longer duration on treatment.

Efficacy and safety of selpercatinib in Chinese patients with advanced RET-altered thyroid cancers: results from the phase II LIBRETTO-321 study
Excerpt:Of 77 enrolled patients, 29 had RET-mutant MTC and one had RET fusion-positive TC….In all enrolled MTC patients (n = 29), the ORR by IRC was 58.6% (95% CI, 38.9–76.5). One RET fusion-positive TC patient treated for 23.4 weeks achieved a partial response at week 8 that was ongoing at cutoff....Selpercatinib showed robust antitumor activity and was well tolerated in Chinese patients with advanced RET-altered TC, consistent with global data from LIBRETTO-001.

Neoadjuvant selpercatinib for advanced medullary thyroid cancer
Excerpt:Herein, we report a case of a patient with initially unresectable, widely metastatic, RET‐mutated medullary thyroid carcinoma treated on a single‐patient clinical protocol with neoadjuvant selpercatinib/LOXO‐292 followed by definitive surgery. The significant tumor response to neoadjuvant selpercatinib rendered his locoregional disease resectable, and he is now 21 months postinitiation of neoadjuvant treatment with stable distant disease (following partial response) on continued therapy.
