LIBRETTO-431 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for people with a certain type of lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. The new drug is compared to the standard treatment, and participants who stop the standard treatment due to their cancer progressing can try the new drug.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced non-squamous NSCLC that has spread and have a RET gene fusion. They must be in fairly good health, able to take pills, and not had certain treatments for metastatic disease. Women can't be pregnant or breastfeeding, and participants need effective birth control.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Selpercatinib against standard treatments (Pemetrexed, Pembrolizumab, Carboplatin, Cisplatin) for NSCLC with RET fusion. If standard treatment fails, patients may switch to Selpercatinib. The goal is to compare effectiveness and safety.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Selpercatinib may cause liver issues, high blood pressure, bleeding problems; Pemetrexed can lead to fatigue or skin reactions; Pembrolizumab might trigger immune system-related side effects; Carboplatin/Cisplatin could cause kidney damage or hearing problems.
