Drug Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Acid-Reducing Agents: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, take RETEVMO with food (with PPI) or modify its administration time (with H2 receptor antagonist or locally-acting antacid). ( 2.4 , 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the RETEVMO dose. ( 2.6 , 7.1 ) Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Avoid coadministration. ( 7.1 ) CYP2C8 and CYP3A Substrates: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, modify the substrate dosage as recommended in its product labeling. ( 7.2 ) Certain P-gp and BCRP Substrates: Avoid coadministration. If coadministration cannot be avoided, modify the substrate dosage as recommended in its product labeling. ( 7.2 ) 7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on RETEVMO Acid-Reducing Agents Concomitant use of RETEVMO with acid-reducing agents decreases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce RETEVMO anti-tumor activity. Avoid concomitant use of PPIs, H2 receptor antagonists, and locally-acting antacids with RETEVMO. If coadministration cannot be avoided, take RETEVMO with food (with a PPI) or modify its administration time (with a H2 receptor antagonist or a locally-acting antacid) [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.4 )] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors Concomitant use of RETEVMO with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor increases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of RETEVMO adverse reactions, including QTc interval prolongation. Avoid concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors with RETEVMO. If concomitant use of strong and moderate CYP3A inhibitors cannot be avoided, reduce the RETEVMO dosage and monitor the QT interval with ECGs more frequently [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.6 ), Warning and Precautions ( 5.4 )] . Strong and Moderate CYP3A Inducers Concomitant use of RETEVMO with a strong or moderate CYP3A inducer decreases selpercatinib plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may reduce RETEVMO anti-tumor activity. Avoid coadministration of strong or moderate CYP3A inducers with RETEVMO. 7.2 Effects of RETEVMO on Other Drugs CYP2C8 and CYP3A Substrates RETEVMO is a moderate CYP2C8 inhibitor and a weak CYP3A inhibitor. Concomitant use of RETEVMO with CYP2C8 and CYP3A substrates increases their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Avoid coadministration of RETEVMO with CYP2C8 and CYP3A substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to increased adverse reactions. If coadministration cannot be avoided, follow recommendations for CYP2C8 and CYP3A substrates provided in their approved product labeling. Certain P-gp and BCRP Substrates RETEVMO is a P-gp and BCRP inhibitor. Concomitant use of RETEVMO with P-gp or BCRP substrates increases their plasma concentrations [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] , which may increase the risk of adverse reactions related to these substrates. Avoid coadministration of RETEVMO with P-gp or BCRP substrates where minimal concentration changes may lead to increased adverse reactions. If coadministration cannot be avoided, follow recommendations for P-gp and BCRP substrates provided in their approved product labeling. 7.3 Drugs that Prolong QT Interval RETEVMO is associated with QTc interval prolongation [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . Monitor the QT interval with ECGs more frequently in patients who require treatment with concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval.
Clinical Pharmacology
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Selpercatinib is a kinase inhibitor. Selpercatinib inhibited wild-type RET and multiple mutated RET isoforms as well as VEGFR1 and VEGFR3 with IC 50 values ranging from 0.92 nM to 67.8 nM. In other enzyme assays, selpercatinib also inhibited FGFR 1, 2, and 3 at higher concentrations that were still clinically achievable. In cellular assays, selpercatinib inhibited RET at approximately 60-fold lower concentrations than FGFR1 and 2 and approximately 8-fold lower concentration than VEGFR3. Certain point mutations in RET or chromosomal rearrangements involving in-frame fusions of RET with various partners can result in constitutively activated chimeric RET fusion proteins that can act as oncogenic drivers by promoting cell proliferation of tumor cell lines. In in vitro and in vivo tumor models, selpercatinib demonstrated anti-tumor activity in cells harboring constitutive activation of RET proteins resulting from gene fusions and mutations, including CCDC6-RET, KIF5B-RET, RET V804M, and RET M918T. In addition, selpercatinib showed anti-tumor activity in mice intracranially implanted with a patient-derived RET fusion positive tumor. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Exposure-Response Relationship Selpercatinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response have not been fully characterized. Cardiac Electrophysiology The effect of RETEVMO on the QTc interval was evaluated in a thorough QT study in healthy subjects. The largest mean increase in QTc is predicted to be 10.6 msec (upper 90% confidence interval: 12.1 msec) at the mean steady-state maximum concentration (C max ) observed in patients after administration of 160 mg twice daily. The increase in QTc was concentration-dependent. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics The pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib capsules were evaluated in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors administered 160 mg twice daily unless otherwise specified. The capsule and tablet dosage forms of selpercatinib are bioequivalent. Steady state selpercatinib AUC and C max increased in a slightly greater than dose proportional manner over the dose range of 20 mg once daily to 240 mg twice daily [0.06 to 1.5 times the maximum recommended total daily dosage]. Steady-state was reached by approximately 7 days and the median accumulation ratio after administration of 160 mg twice daily was 3.4-fold. Mean steady-state selpercatinib [coefficient of variation (CV%)] C max was 2,980 (53%) ng/mL and AUC 0-24h was 51,600 (58%) ng*h/mL. Absorption The median t max of selpercatinib is 2 hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of RETEVMO capsules is 73% (60% to 82%) in healthy subjects. Effect of Food For both the capsule and tablet dosage forms no clinically significant differences in selpercatinib AUC or C max were observed following administration of a high-fat meal (approximately 900 calories, 58 grams carbohydrate, 56 grams fat and 43 grams protein) in healthy subjects. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution (V ss /F) of selpercatinib is 203 L. Protein binding of selpercatinib is 96% in vitro and is independent of concentration. The blood-to-plasma concentration ratio is 0.7. Elimination The apparent clearance (CL/F) of selpercatinib is 6 L/h in patients and the half-life is 32 hours following oral administration of RETEVMO in healthy subjects. Metabolism Selpercatinib is metabolized predominantly by CYP3A4. Following oral administration of a single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, unchanged selpercatinib constituted 86% of the radioactive drug components in plasma. Excretion Following oral administration of a single radiolabeled 160 mg dose of selpercatinib to healthy subjects, 69% of the administered dose was recovered in feces (14% unchanged) and 24% in urine (12% unchanged). Specific Populations The apparent volume of distribution and clearance of selpercatinib increase with increasing body weight (9.6 kg to 179 kg). No clinically significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of selpercatinib were observed based on age (2 years to 92 years), sex, or mild, moderate, or severe renal impairment (eGFR ≥15 to 89 mL/min). The effect of ESRD on selpercatinib pharmacokinetics has not been studied. Pediatric patients The exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients are predicted to be comparable to those in adult patients administered at the recommended dosages. Patients with Hepatic Impairment The selpercatinib AUC 0-INF increased 1.1-fold in subjects with mild (total bilirubin less than or equal to ULN with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST), 1.3-fold in subjects with moderate (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST), and 1.8-fold in subjects with severe (total bilirubin greater than 3 to 10 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment, compared to subjects with normal hepatic function. Drug Interaction Studies Clinical Studies and Model-Informed Approaches Proton-Pump Inhibitors (PPI): Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole (PPI) decreased selpercatinib AUC 0-INF and C max when RETEVMO was administered fasting. Coadministration with multiple daily doses of omeprazole did not significantly change the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF and C max when RETEVMO was administered with food ( Table 14 ). Table 14: Change in Selpercatinib Exposure After Coadministration with PPI 1 High-fat meal: approximately 150, 250, and 500-600 calories from protein, carbohydrate, and fat, respectively; approximately 800 to 1,000 calories total. 2 Low-fat meal: approximately 390 calories and 10 g of fat. Selpercatinib AUC 0-INF Selpercatinib C max RETEVMO fasting Reference Reference RETEVMO fasting + PPI ↓ 69% ↓ 88% RETEVMO with a high-fat meal 1 + PPI ↑ 2% ↓ 49% RETEVMO with a low-fat meal 2 + PPI No change ↓ 22% H2 Receptor Antagonists: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with multiple daily doses of ranitidine (H2 receptor antagonist) given 10 hours prior to and 2 hours after the RETEVMO dose (administered fasting). Strong CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of itraconazole (strong CYP3A inhibitor) increased the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF 2.3-fold and C max 1.3-fold. Moderate CYP3A Inhibitors: Coadministration of multiple doses of diltiazem, fluconazole, or verapamil (moderate CYP3A inhibitors) is predicted to increase the selpercatinib AUC 1.6 to 2-fold and C max 1.5 to 1.8-fold. Strong CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of rifampin (strong CYP3A inducer) decreased the selpercatinib AUC 0-INF by 87% and C max by 70%. Moderate CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of bosentan or efavirenz (moderate CYP3A inducers) is predicted to decrease the selpercatinib AUC by 40-70% and C max by 34-57%. Weak CYP3A Inducers: Coadministration of multiple doses of modafinil (weak CYP3A inducer) is predicted to decrease the selpercatinib AUC by 33% and C max by 26%. CYP2C8 Substrates : Coadministration of RETEVMO with repaglinide (sensitive CYP2C8 substrate) increased the repaglinide AUC 0-INF 2.9-fold and C max 1.9-fold. CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC 0-INF 1.5-fold and C max 1.4-fold. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC 0-INF 1.4-fold and C max 1.4-fold. BCRP Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) increased the rosuvastatin AUC 0-INF by 1.9-fold and C max by 1.7-fold. P-gp Inhibitors: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with a single dose of rifampin (P-gp inhibitor). MATE1 Substrates: No clinically significant differences in glucose levels were observed when metformin (MATE1 substrate) was coadministered with selpercatinib. In Vitro Studies CYP Enzymes: Selpercatinib does not inhibit or induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations. Transporter Systems: Selpercatinib inhibits MATE1. Selpercatinib may increase serum creatinine by decreasing renal tubular secretion of creatinine via inhibition of MATE1 [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Selpercatinib does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MATE2-K at clinically relevant concentrations. Selpercatinib is a substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

CYP3A Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with midazolam (sensitive CYP3A substrate) increased the midazolam AUC 0-INF 1.5-fold and C max 1.4-fold. P-glycoprotein (P-gp) Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with dabigatran (P-gp substrate) increased the dabigatran AUC 0-INF 1.4-fold and C max 1.4-fold. BCRP Substrates: Coadministration of RETEVMO with rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate) increased the rosuvastatin AUC 0-INF by 1.9-fold and C max by 1.7-fold. P-gp Inhibitors: No clinically significant differences in selpercatinib pharmacokinetics were observed when coadministered with a single dose of rifampin (P-gp inhibitor). MATE1 Substrates: No clinically significant differences in glucose levels were observed when metformin (MATE1 substrate) was coadministered with selpercatinib. In Vitro Studies CYP Enzymes: Selpercatinib does not inhibit or induce CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, or CYP2D6 at clinically relevant concentrations. Transporter Systems: Selpercatinib inhibits MATE1. Selpercatinib may increase serum creatinine by decreasing renal tubular secretion of creatinine via inhibition of MATE1 [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Selpercatinib does not inhibit OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MATE2-K at clinically relevant concentrations. Selpercatinib is a substrate for P-gp and BCRP, but not for OAT1, OAT3, OCT1, OCT2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, MATE1, or MATE2-K.

Carcinogenesis And Mutagenesis And Impairment Of Fertility
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year study in rats when administered by daily oral gavage at doses up to 20 mg/kg in males or 40 mg/kg in females (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in a 6-month study in rasH2 transgenic mice when administered by daily oral gavage at doses of up to 60 mg/kg. Selpercatinib was not mutagenic in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assays, with or without metabolic activation, or clastogenic in the in vitro micronucleus assay in human peripheral lymphocytes, with or without metabolic activation. Selpercatinib was positive in the in vivo micronucleus assay in rats at concentrations >7 times the C max at the human dose of 160 mg twice daily. In general toxicology studies, male rats and minipigs exhibited testicular degeneration which was associated with luminal cell debris and/or reduced luminal sperm in the epididymis at selpercatinib exposures approximately 0.4 (rat) and 0.1 (minipig) times the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose. In a dedicated fertility study in male rats, administration of selpercatinib at doses up to 30 mg/kg/day (approximately twice the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 twice daily clinical dose) for 28 days prior to cohabitation with untreated females did not affect mating or have clear effects on fertility. Males did, however, display a dose-dependent increase in testicular germ cell depletion and spermatid retention at doses ≥3 mg/kg (~0.2 times the clinical exposure by AUC at the 160 twice daily clinical dose) accompanied by altered sperm morphology at 30 mg/kg. In a dedicated fertility study in female rats treated with selpercatinib for 15 days before mating to Gestational Day 7, there were decreases in the number of estrous cycles at a dose of 75 mg/kg (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). While selpercatinib did not have clear effects on mating performance or ability to become pregnant at any dose level, half of females at the 75 mg/kg dose level had 100% nonviable embryos. At the same dose level in females with some viable embryos there were increases in post-implantation loss. In a 3-month general toxicology study in minipigs, there were findings of decreased or absent corpora lutea at a selpercatinib dose of 15 mg/kg (approximately 0.3 times to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Corpora luteal cysts were present in the minipig at selpercatinib doses ≥2 mg/kg (approximately 0.07 times the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose).
Nonclinical Toxicology
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in a 2-year study in rats when administered by daily oral gavage at doses up to 20 mg/kg in males or 40 mg/kg in females (approximately equal to the human exposure by AUC at the 160 mg twice daily clinical dose). Selpercatinib was not carcinogenic in a 6-month study in rasH2 transgenic mice when administered by daily oral gavage at doses of up to 60 mg/kg.

Clinical Studies
14 CLINICAL STUDIES 14.1 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 fusion-positive NSCLC are summarized in Table 15 . Table 15: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-001 (RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Previously Treated with Platinum Chemotherapy) 1 Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BIRC. 2 Based on observed duration of response. NE = not estimable RETEVMO (n = 247) Overall Response Rate 1 (95% CI) 61% (55%, 67%) Complete response 7.3% Partial response 54% Duration of Response Median in months (95% CI) 28.6 (20, NE) % with ≥ 12 months 2 63% For the 144 patients who received an anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy, either sequentially or concurrently with platinum-based chemotherapy, an exploratory subgroup analysis of ORR was 63% (95% CI: 54%, 70%) and the median DOR was 28.6 months (95% CI: 14.8, NE). Among the 247 patients with previously treated RET fusion-positive NSCLC, 16 had measurable CNS metastases at baseline as assessed by BIRC. One patient received radiation therapy (RT) to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 14 of these 16 patients; 39% of responders had an intracranial DOR of ≥ 12 months. Treatment-naïve RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC Efficacy was evaluated in 69 patients with treatment-naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC enrolled into a cohort of LIBRETTO-001. The median age was 63 years (range 23 to 92); 62% were female; 70% were White, 19% were Asian, and 6% were Black or African American. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (94%) or 2 (6%) and 99% of patients had metastatic disease. RET fusions were detected in 91% of patients using NGS (60.9% tumor samples; 30.4% in blood), 7.2% using FISH and 1.4% using PCR. Efficacy results for treatment naïve RET fusion-positive NSCLC are summarized in Table 16 . Table 16: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-001 (Treatment-Naïve RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC) 1 Confirmed overall response rate assessed by BIRC. 2 Based on observed duration of response.

Two patients received RT to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Responses in intracranial lesions were observed in 4 of these 5 patients; 38% of responders had an intracranial DOR of ≥ 12 months. 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 . Table 17: Efficacy Results in LIBRETTO-431: RETEVMO versus Chemotherapy with Pembrolizumab 1 Based on the stratified Cox proportional hazard model, stratified by geographic location (East Asia versus elsewhere), brain metastases at baseline according to investigator (presence versus absence or unknown). 2 Based on stratified log-rank test, stratified by geographic location (East Asia versus elsewhere), brain metastases at baseline according to investigator (presence versus absence or unknown). 3 Based on observed duration of response.

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. Figure 1 14.2 RET -Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer LIBRETTO-001 The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in patients with RET -mutant MTC enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (NCT03157128). The study enrolled patients with advanced or metastatic RET -mutant MTC who had been previously treated with cabozantinib or vandetanib (or both) and patients with advanced or metastatic RET -mutant MTC who were naïve to cabozantinib and vandetanib in separate cohorts. RET -Mutant MTC Previously Treated with Cabozantinib or Vandetanib Efficacy was evaluated in 55 patients with RET- mutant advanced MTC who had previously treated with cabozantinib or vandetanib enrolled into a cohort of LIBRETTO-001. The median age was 57 years (range: 17 to 84); 66% were male; 89% were White, 7% were Hispanic/Latino, and 1.8% were Black. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (95%) or 2 (5%) and 98% of patients had metastatic disease. Patients received a median of 2 prior systemic therapies (range 1 – 8).

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 RET 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 21 and Figure 2 . At the time of this analysis, overall survival data were immature with 18 deaths observed (14% of pre-specified events).

The median time on treatment at the data cutoff was 14.5 months in the RETEVMO arm and 8.3 months in the cabozantinib or vandetanib arm in patients who received at least one dose of study treatment. Figure 2 LIBRETTO-121 The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in pediatric and young adult patients with advanced RET -activated solid tumors enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-121 , NCT03899792). Patients received RETEVMO 92 mg/m 2 orally twice daily until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation. Tumor assessments were performed every 8 weeks for one year, then every 12 weeks; responses were assessed according to RECIST 1.1 per BIRC. Efficacy was evaluated in 14 patients with RET -mutant MTC who were non-responsive to available therapies or had no standard systemic curative therapy available. The median age was 14 years (range 2 to 20); 64% were male; 71% were White, 14% were Black or African American; and 14% were Hispanic/Latino. Patients had metastatic (71%) or locally advanced (29%) disease; 43% had measurable disease at baseline; 21% had received prior systemic therapy. RET -mutant status was detected in 79% of patients using NGS tumor samples and in 21% using PCR. Efficacy results for RET- mutant MTC in pediatric and young adult patients are summarized in Table 23 .

Efficacy was evaluated in 65 patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who were radioactive iodine (RAI)-refractory (if RAI was an appropriate treatment option) and were systemic therapy naïve and patients who were previously treated, in separate cohorts. The median age was 59 years (range 20 to 88); 49% were male; 65% were White, 20% were Asian, 4.6% were Black or African American; and 11% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (94%) or 2 (6%). All (100%) patients had metastatic disease with primary tumor histologies including papillary thyroid cancer (83%), poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (9%), anaplastic thyroid cancer (6%) and Hurthle cell thyroid cancer (1.5%). Previously treated patients had received a median of 1 prior therapy (range 1–4). RET fusion-positive status was detected in 97% of patients using NGS (89% tumor samples; 8% blood or plasma samples), and 3% using other local testing methods. Efficacy results for RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer are summarized in Table 24 .

LIBRETTO-121 The efficacy of RETEVMO was evaluated in pediatric and young adult patients with advanced RET -activated solid tumors enrolled in a multicenter, open-label, multi-cohort clinical trial (LIBRETTO-121 , NCT03899792) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )]. Efficacy was evaluated in 10 patients with RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who were non-responsive to available therapies or had no standard systemic curative therapy available. The median age was 13.5 years (range 12 to 20); 60% were male; 40% were White, 50% were Asian; and 30% were Hispanic/Latino. All (100%) patients had metastatic disease and papillary thyroid cancer histology; 40% had measurable disease at baseline; 30% had received prior systemic therapy. RET fusion-positive status was detected in 90% of patients using NGS tumor samples and in 10% using FISH.

Efficacy was evaluated in 41 patients with RET fusion-positive tumors other than NSCLC and thyroid cancer with disease progression on or following prior systemic treatment or who had no satisfactory alternative treatment options. The median age was 50 years (range 21 to 85), 54% were female, 68% were White, 24% were Asian, and 4.9% were Black; and 7% were Hispanic/Latino. ECOG performance status was 0-1 (95%) or 2 (5%) and 95% of patients had metastatic disease. Thirty-seven patients (90%) received prior systemic therapy (median 2 [range 0 – 9]; 32% received 3 or more). The most common cancers were pancreatic adenocarcinoma (27%), colorectal (24%), salivary (10%) and unknown primary (7%). RET fusion-positive status was detected in 97.6% of patients using NGS and 2.4% using FISH.

Geriatric Use
8.5 Geriatric Use Of 796 patients who received RETEVMO, 34% (268 patients) were ≥65 years of age and 9% (74 patients) were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences were observed in the safety or effectiveness of RETEVMO between patients who were ≥65 years of age and younger patients.
Pediatric Use
8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have been established in pediatric patients 2 years of age 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 2 years of age and older [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), Clinical Studies ( 14.2 , 14.3 , 14.4 )] . The predicted exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients at the recommended dosages were within the range of values predicted in patients ≥ 12 years and ≥ 50 kg in body weight receiving the approved recommended dosage of 160 mg twice daily [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in these indications in patients less than 2 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in pediatric patients for other indications [see Indications and Usage ( 1 )] . 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.
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on findings from animal studies, and its mechanism of action [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] , RETEVMO can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. There are no available data on RETEVMO use in pregnant women to inform drug-associated risk. Administration of selpercatinib to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryolethality and malformations at maternal exposures that were approximately equal to the human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Data Animal Data Selpercatinib administration to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at oral doses ≥100 mg/kg [approximately 3.6 times the human exposure based on the area under the curve (AUC) at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily] resulted in 100% post-implantation loss. At the dose of 50 mg/kg [approximately equal to the human exposure (AUC) at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily], 6 of 8 females had 100% early resorptions; the remaining 2 females had high levels of early resorptions with only 3 viable fetuses across the 2 litters. All viable fetuses had decreased fetal body weight and malformations (2 with short tail and one with small snout and localized edema of the neck and thorax).

All viable fetuses had decreased fetal body weight and malformations (2 with short tail and one with small snout and localized edema of the neck and thorax). 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of selpercatinib or its metabolites in human milk or on their effects on the breastfed child or on milk production. Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed children, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after the last dose. 8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential Based on animal data, RETEVMO can cause embryolethality and malformations at doses resulting in exposures less than or equal to the human exposure at the clinical dose of 160 mg twice daily [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Pregnancy Testing Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating RETEVMO [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.1 )] . Contraception Females Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after the last dose. Males Advise males with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with RETEVMO and for 1 week after the last dose. Infertility RETEVMO may impair fertility in females and males of reproductive potential [see Use in Specific Populations ( 8.4 ), Nonclinical Toxicology ( 13.1 )] . 8.4 Pediatric Use The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have been established in pediatric patients 2 years of age 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.

The predicted exposures of selpercatinib in pediatric patients at the recommended dosages were within the range of values predicted in patients ≥ 12 years and ≥ 50 kg in body weight receiving the approved recommended dosage of 160 mg twice daily [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in these indications in patients less than 2 years of age. The safety and effectiveness of RETEVMO have not been established in pediatric patients for other indications [see Indications and Usage ( 1 )] . 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).

Consider interrupting or discontinuing therapy based on the severity of any growth plate abnormalities and based on an individual risk-benefit assessment. 8.5 Geriatric Use Of 796 patients who received RETEVMO, 34% (268 patients) were ≥65 years of age and 9% (74 patients) were ≥75 years of age. No overall differences were observed in the safety or effectiveness of RETEVMO between patients who were ≥65 years of age and younger patients. 8.6 Renal Impairment No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild to severe renal impairment [estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) ≥15 to 89 mL/min, estimated by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation]. The recommended dosage has not been established for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . 8.7 Hepatic Impairment Reduce the dose when administering RETEVMO to patients with severe [total bilirubin greater than 3 to 10 times upper limit of normal (ULN) and any AST] hepatic impairment [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.7 )] . No dosage modification is recommended for patients with mild (total bilirubin less than or equal to ULN with AST greater than ULN or total bilirubin greater than 1 to 1.5 times ULN with any AST) or moderate (total bilirubin greater than 1.5 to 3 times ULN and any AST) hepatic impairment.
