Background: Alterations in RET are targetable oncogenic drivers in TC. Pralsetinib is a highly potent, selective RET inhibitor, with demonstrated efficacy in pts with RET-altered TC. In a previous analysis of the Phase I/II ARROW trial (NCT03037385; data cutoff: 22 May 2020), overall response rates [ORR; measurable-disease population] with pralsetinib at 400 mg once daily (QD) were 60% (33/55) and 71% (15/21) in pts with RET-mutant medullary TC (RET-mutant MTC) who had received prior multikinase inhibitors cabozantinib and/or vandetanib (C/V), and those who were treatment naïve, respectively, and 89% (8/9) in pts with previously treated RET fusion-positive TC (RET-fp TC). Here we report an updated analysis of these cohorts in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Methods: Adult pts with RET-altered locally advanced/metastatic TC who had enrolled in ARROW and initiated pralsetinib at 400 mg QD, were included. Phase II primary endpoints: ORR (by blinded independent central review, per RECIST v1.1) and safety. Efficacy endpoints for this analysis were assessed in the ITT population. Safety was assessed in all pts with RET-altered TC who initiated pralsetinib at 400 mg QD. Enrolment cutoff: 23 August 2020 for the ITT population; data cutoff: 12 April 2021. Results: The ITT population comprised 145 pts with RET-mutant MTC (with or without prior systemic therapy, including C/V) and 22 pts with RET-fp TC, 21 of whom had received prior systemic therapy (including multikinase inhibitor[s] and/or radioactive iodine). In pts with RET-mutant MTC who had received prior C/V (n = 67), ORR was 51% (34/67; 95% CI 38–63; 2 complete responses [CR]; 32 partial responses [PR]), median duration of response (DoR) was 25.8 months (95% CI 18.0–not reached [NR]) and median progression-free survival (PFS) was 24.9 months (95% CI 19.7–31.2). In treatment-naïve pts with RET-mutant MTC, ORR was 72% (48/67; 95% CI 59–82; 4 CR; 44 PR), and median DoR and median PFS were not reached. In pts with previously treated RET-fp TC, ORR was 86% (18/21; 95% CI 64–97; 3 CR; 15 PR), median DoR was 17.5 months (95% CI 16.0–NR) and median PFS was 19.4 months (95% CI 13.0–NR). Median overall survival (OS) was not reached in any of the cohorts. The safety population comprised 172 pts with RET-altered TC treated at 400 mg QD. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were increased aspartate aminotransferase (n = 67; 39%), anemia (n = 60; 35%), hypertension (n = 57; 33%) and decreased white blood cell count (n = 52; 30%). Serious TRAEs were reported in 27 pts (16%); the most frequent was pneumonitis (n = 5; 3%). Nine pts (5%) discontinued pralsetinib due to a TRAE and one patient ( < 1%) died due to a TRAE (pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) following 44 days ( < 3 cycles) on pralsetinib. Conclusions: In this updated analysis including more pts, pralsetinib continues to be efficacious with a manageable safety profile in pts with RET-altered TC. Clinical trial information: NCT03037385.
