Please note that this program was recorded prior to the FDA approval of pralsetinib for RET-mutant medullary thyroid and RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer on December 2, 2020.
Pralsetinib is now indicated for the treatment of:
- Adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) who require systemic therapy
- Adult and pediatric patients 12 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate)
The approvals are based on results from the phase I/II ARROW study, which demonstrated durable clinical activity in people with or without prior therapy and regardless of RET alteration genotypes.
