    Warnings and Precautions (
    5.6 Hypersensitivity

    RETEVMO can cause hypersensitivity, including severe skin reactions such as Stevens Johnson Syndrome. All grade hypersensitivity occurred in 6% of patients receiving RETEVMO, including Grade 3 in 1.9%. The median time to onset was 1.9 weeks (range: 5 days to 2 years). Signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity included fever, rash and arthralgias or myalgias with concurrent decreased platelets or transaminitis. Stevens Johnsons Syndrome has been observed in the post-marketing setting
    [see Adverse Reactions ]
    . Discontinue RETEVMO in patients with Stevens Johnson Syndrome.

    If hypersensitivity occurs, withhold RETEVMO and begin corticosteroids at a dose of 1 mg/kg prednisone (or equivalent). Upon resolution of the event, resume RETEVMO at a reduced dose and increase the dose of RETEVMO by 1 dose level each week as tolerated until reaching the dose taken prior to onset of hypersensitivity

    [see Dosage and Administration ]
    . Continue steroids until patient reaches target dose and then taper. Permanently discontinue RETEVMO for recurrent hypersensitivity.

      RET
      Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

      LIBRETTO-001

      The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with advanced

      RET
      fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-001, NCT03157128). The study enrolled patients with advanced or metastatic
      RET
      fusion-positive NSCLC who had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy and patients with locally advanced (stage III who were not candidates for surgical resection or definitive chemoradiation) or metastatic NSCLC without prior systemic therapy in separate cohorts. Identification of a
      RET
      gene alteration was prospectively determined in local laboratories using next generation sequencing (NGS), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or other local testing methods. Adult patients received RETEVMO 160 mg orally twice daily until unacceptable toxicity or disease progression; patients enrolled in the dose escalation phase were permitted to adjust their dose to 160 mg twice daily. The major efficacy outcome measures were confirmed overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR), as determined by a blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1.

      RET
      Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy

      Efficacy was evaluated in 247 patients with

      RET
      fusion-positive NSCLC previously treated with platinum chemotherapy enrolled into a cohort of LIBRETTO-001.

      The median age was 61 years (range: 23 to 81); 57% were female; 44% were White, 48% were Asian, 4.9% were Black or African American; and 2.8% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (97%) or 2 (3%) and 97% of patients had metastatic disease. Patients received a median of 2 prior systemic therapies (range 1–15); 58% had prior anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy.

      RET
      fusions were detected in 94% of patients using NGS (84.6% tumor samples; 9.3% blood or plasma samples), 4.0% using FISH, 1.6% using PCR and 0.4% by other local testing methods.

      Efficacy results for previously treated

      RET

      LIBRETTO-431

      The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic,

      RET
      fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, active-controlled, randomized trial (LIBRETTO-431, NCT04194944). The trial evaluated RETEVMO compared to platinum-based and pemetrexed chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab in patients with
      RET
      fusion-positive, unresectable locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with no previous systemic therapy for metastatic disease.

      Patients (N=261) were randomized to receive either RETEVMO (160 mg orally twice daily) in continuous 21-day cycles or pemetrexed intravenously (IV) (500 mg per square meter of body-surface area) along with the investigator’s choice of platinum therapy (carboplatin IV [AUC 5, maximum dose 750 mg] or cisplatin IV [75 mg per square meter]) with or without pembrolizumab IV (200 mg) every 21 days. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Crossover from the control arm to RETEVMO was permitted following disease progression. Patients were stratified according to geographic region (East Asia vs. elsewhere), brain metastases at baseline (presence vs. absence or unknown), and the investigator’s intent (before randomization) to treat the patient with or without pembrolizumab. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 weeks for two assessments, then every 9 weeks for four assessments, and then every 12 weeks thereafter.

      The major efficacy outcome measure was progression-free survival (PFS) in patients intended to be treated with chemotherapy in combination with pembrolizumab and in the overall study population as determined by a blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1. Other efficacy outcome measures included overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR).

      A total of 212 patients were enrolled in LIBRETTO-431 with an intent to treat with pembrolizumab if randomized to the control arm (129 into RETEVMO arm and 83 into chemotherapy with pembrolizumab arm). The median age was 61.5 years (range: 31 to 84 years); 47% were male; 41% White, 55% Asian, and 0.9% Black or African American, 1.4% American Indian or Alaska Native, 1.9% were race not reported; ethnicity was not reported in 96% of patients. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (97%) or 2 (3%), 68% were never smokers, 93% of patients had metastatic disease, and 14% had measurable intracranial metastases at baseline, as determined by a neuroradiologic BIRC. RET fusions were detected in 60% of patients using NGS and 40% using PCR (89% tumor samples; 11% in blood).

      Efficacy results from the pre-planned interim efficacy analysis are summarized in Table 17.

      Among the 212 randomized patients, 29 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BIRC. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 14 of 17 patients treated with RETEVMO and 7 of 12 patients treated with chemotherapy with pembrolizumab.

      Overall survival was immature at the time of the PFS interim analysis. At the time of an updated descriptive analysis of OS (43% of prespecified OS events needed for the final analysis), a total of 49 (31%) and 26 (25%) patients died in the RETEVMO and the control arm, respectively. The OS HR was 1.26 (95% CI: 0.78, 2.04). Overall survival may be affected by the imbalance in post-progression therapies. Of 68 control arm patients who had disease progression, 50 patients (74%) received RETEVMO at progression. Of 71 RETEVMO arm patients who had disease progression, 16 (23%) received chemotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, and 44 (62%) continued receiving RETEVMO.

      LIBRETTO-531

      LIBRETTO-531 was a randomized (2:1), multicenter, open-label study (NCT04211337) in adults and adolescents with advance or metastatic

      RET
      -mutant MTC. The study evaluated the efficacy of RETEVMO versus physicians’ choice of cabozantinib or vandetanib in patients with progressive, advanced, kinase inhibitor naïve,
      RET
      -mutant medullary thyroid cancer.

      Patients were randomized to receive either RETEVMO (160 mg twice daily) or physicians’ choice of cabozantinib (140 mg once daily) or vandetanib (300 mg once daily). Patients were stratified based on

      mutation (M918T vs. other) and intended treatment if randomized to the control arm (cabozantinib vs. vandetanib). The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS), as determined by a blinded independent review committee (BIRC) according to RECIST v1.1.

      The median age was 55 years (range: 12 to 84), 63% were male, 58% were White, 23% were Asian, 2.4% were Black or African American, and 17% had unknown race. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (98%) or 2 (1.0%) with 0.7% unknown status. 77% of patients had metastatic disease and 6 patients (2.1%) had received 1 prior systemic therapy.

      RET
      mutation status was detected in 90% of patients using NGS (89% tumor samples; 8% blood or plasma), and 10% using PCR. Of patients enrolled in LIBRETTO-531, 63% had M918T
      RET
      mutations and 37% had other
      RET
      mutations.

      Efficacy results for LIBRETTO-531 based on the preplanned interim efficacy analysis are provided in Table 21and Figure 2. At the time of this analysis, overall survival data were immature with 18 deaths observed (14% of pre-specified events).

    • Pediatric Use:
      Monitor open growth plates in pediatric patients. Consider interrupting or discontinuing RETEVMO if abnormalities occur. (
      8.4 Pediatric Use

      The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have been established in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older for the treatment of:

      • advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with a
        RET
        mutation who require systemic therapy
      • advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with a
        RET
        gene fusion who require systemic therapy and are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate)
      • locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a
        RET
        gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options.

      Use of RETEVMO for these indications is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adult and pediatric patients with additional pharmacokinetic and safety data in pediatric patients aged 2 years and older

      [see Adverse Reactions , Clinical Pharmacology , Clinical Studies ]
      . The predicted exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients at the recommended dosages were within the range of values observed in patients ≥ 12 years and ≥ 50 kg in body weight receiving the approved recommended dosage of 160 mg twice daily
      [see Clinical Pharmacology ]
      .

      Juvenile Animal Toxicity Data

      In a juvenile rat toxicity study, animals were dosed daily with selpercatinib from post-natal day 21 to day 70 (approximately equivalent to a human child to late adolescent). Selpercatinib increased physeal thickness of multiple bones, extending into the metaphysis and associated with decreased trabecular bone, which was not reversible at doses approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily. Growth plate changes were associated with impairment of bone modeling, resulting in decreased femur length and with reduction in bone mineral density. Selpercatinib also induced reversible hypocellularity of bone marrow in males at ≥30 mg/kg (approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily), and reversible alterations of dentin composition at ≥50 mg/kg (approximately 3 times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Irreversible, dose-dependent degeneration of testicular germinal epithelium, with vacuolation of Sertoli cells and corresponding depletion of spermatozoa in the epididymides, was also observed at ≥ 30 mg/kg (approximately equivalent to or greater than the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily) and affected male reproductive performance at 50 mg/kg (approximately 3 times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily). Females exhibited delay in attainment of vaginal patency, a marker of sexual maturity, at 125 mg/kg (approximately 4 times the adult human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily); this effect was associated with lower mean body weight. Similar effects in irregular thickening of growth plates in adult rats and minipigs, and tooth dysplasia and malocclusion, resulting in tooth loss in adult rats were observed in repeat dose studies of up to 13-week duration with selpercatinib.

      Monitor growth plates in pediatric patients with open growth plates. Consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on the severity of any growth plate abnormalities and based on an individual risk-benefit assessment.
