Intracranial Activity of Selpercatinib in Chinese Patients With AdvancedRETFusion–Positive Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer in the Phase II LIBRETTO-321 Trial

PURPOSE: -altered advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the global LIBRETTO-001 and Chinese LIBRETTO-321 trials. We report a prospective case series based on updated data from patients with brain metastases at baseline in LIBRETTO-321. MATERIALS AND METHODS: fusion. Patients with previously treated or untreated CNS metastases were included if asymptomatic or neurologically stable. Patients received oral selpercatinib 160 mg, twice daily, until progression. Objective systemic and intracranial response was independently assessed per RECIST v1.1. The data cutoff (DCO) was March 31, 2022. RESULTS: In total, 8/26 (31%) patients were included: 1/8 (13%) had previous brain surgery but no previous systemic therapy and 3/8 (38%) had received brain radiotherapy. Best overall systemic response was partial response (PR) in 6/8 patients (75%) and stable disease (SD) in 2/8 (25%). Among patients with measurable baseline CNS lesions, 4/5 (80%) achieved a confirmed intracranial response (3/5 PRs and 1/5 complete response CR). The best overall intracranial response was CR in 3/8 (38%), PR in 3/8 (38%), and SD in 1/8 (13%) and nonprogressive disease/non-CR in 1/8 (13%); 2/8 patients (25%) had CNS-only disease progression. The duration of treatment was 2.8-24.0 months, and 5/8 patients (63%) had treatment ongoing at DCO. Of 8 patients, 5 (63%) had grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) requiring dose modification. There were no treatment discontinuations because of TRAEs. CONCLUSION: -altered NSCLC, consistent with the global LIBRETTO-001 trial.
