Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is an international, randomized, open-label, Phase 3 study designed to evaluate whether the potent and selective RET inhibitor, pralsetinib, improves outcomes when compared to a platinum chemotherapy-based regimen chosen by the Investigator from a list of standard of care treatments, as measured primarily by progression free survival (PFS), for participants with RET fusion-positive metastatic NSCLC who have not previously received systemic anticancer therapy for metastatic disease.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that haven't had systemic treatment for metastatic disease. They must have a specific RET fusion-positive tumor, good performance status, and no prior selective RET inhibitors. Previous therapy is okay if it was over 6 months ago. Women must use contraception; men agree to abstain or use condoms.

Inclusion Criteria

I am a man and agree to either not have sex or use a condom and not donate sperm.

My cancer can be measured by scans.

I am fully active or restricted in physically strenuous activity but can do light work.

Exclusion Criteria

I have been treated with a selective RET inhibitor before.

Treatment Details

Interventions

Pralsetinib

Trial Overview The study compares pralsetinib, a targeted drug for tumors with RET gene changes, against standard platinum-based chemotherapy regimens chosen by the investigator. The main goal is to see if pralsetinib can delay the cancer's progression better than existing treatments.
