Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study is available outside the clinical trial. More info ...
This is an open-label, multi-center Phase 1/2 study in participants with advanced solid tumors, including RET fusion-positive solid tumors, MTC, and other tumors with RET activation. The trial will be conducted in 2 parts: Phase 1 (dose escalation - completed) and phase 2 (dose expansion). Participants with advanced cancer are eligible if they have progressed on or are intolerant to available standard therapies, or no standard or available curative therapy exists, or in the opinion of the Investigator, they would be unlikely to tolerate or derive significant clinical benefit from appropriate standard of care therapy, or they declined standard therapy. A dose of 160 milligrams (mg) twice a day (BID) has been selected as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). Approximately 875 participants with advanced solid tumors harboring a RET gene alteration in tumor and/or blood will be enrolled to one of seven phase 2 cohorts:
- Cohort 1: Advanced RET fusion positive solid tumor other than NSCLC or thyroid cancer for participants who progressed on or intolerant to first line therapy (open)
- Cohort 2: Advanced RET fusion positive solid tumor other than NSCLC or thyroid cancer for treatment naïve participants (open)
- Cohort 3: Advanced RET-mutant MTC participants who progressed on or intolerant to first line therapy (closed)
- Cohort 4: Advanced RET-mutant MTC participants who are treatment naïve (closed)
- Cohort 5: Advanced RET-altered solid tumor for participants other than NSCLC or thyroid cancer and RET-mutant MEN2 spectrum tumors (e.g. pheochromocytoma) otherwise ineligible for cohorts 1-4. See details in inclusion/exclusion criteria (open)
- Cohort 6: Participants otherwise eligible for Cohorts 1-5 who discontinued another RET inhibitor due to intolerance may be eligible with prior Sponsor approval (closed)
- Cohort 7: RET fusion positive early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) participants who are candidates for definitive surgery. Participants will receive selpercatinib in a neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting. Participants will be followed for disease recurrence for up to 5 years from the date of surgery (closed)
