LIBRETTO 431
NSCLC Summary
For patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC
Retevmo was granted approval based on LIBRETTO-001, a Phase I/II trial
LIBRETTO-001 Trial Design
The phase I/II, multicohort, open-label, single-arm, multicenter LIBRETTO-001 trial enrolled a pooled safety population of 796 patients, including 356 patients with locally advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC.* Major efficacy outcomes were ORR and DoR, and were evaluated in 316 patients. Other efficacy outcomes, evaluated in subsets of patients, included CNS ORR, CNS DoR, PFS, OS, time to response, and best change in tumor size from baseline. In phase II, the dose for Retevmo was 160 mg PO BID.1-4
The pooled safety population also included 54 patients with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer (non-MTC),† 319 patients with advanced or metastatic RET-mutant MTC, 43 patients with RET fusion-positive solid tumors (other than NSCLC or thyroid),‡ and 24 patients with other cancers, including cancers without a RET alteration.3
*Patients with locally advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC who had progressed on platinum-based chemotherapy and those without prior systemic therapy were enrolled in separate cohorts.1
†Non-MTC by histology included papillary (n=21), poorly differentiated (n=3), anaplastic (n=2), and Hurthle cell (n=1).1
‡Other RET fusion-positive solid tumors included pancreatic cancer (n=11), colon cancer (n=10), and salivary cancer (n=4)1.

All 247 patients received systemic therapy (with a median of 2 prior systemic regimens). Among treatment-naive patients (n=69), Objective Response Rate was 84% (95% confidence interval: 73, 92). Median Duration of Response (DoR) was 20.2 months (95% confidence interval: 13, NE). Median follow-up was 20.3 months. Among patients previously treated with platinum chemotherapy (n=247), Objective Response Rate was 61% (95% confidence interval: 55, 67). Median Duration of Response (DoR) was 28.6 months (95% confidence interval: 20, NE). Median follow-up was 21.2 months.
Secondary endpoints were CNS ORR and CNS DoR. Of the 21 patients with measurable disease, 3 patients received radiation therapy to the brain within 2 months prior to study entry. Among treatment-naive patients (n=69), 4 of 5 patients had CNS ORR response. On CNS DoR, 38% had intracranial DoR of greater than 12 months. Among patients previously treated with platinum chemotherapy (n=247), 14 of 16 had CNS ORR response. On CNS DoR, 39% had intracranial DoR of greater than 12 months.
- Time-to-event endpoints are not interpretable in a single-arm study. The clinical significance of this descriptive analysis is not known.
- ORR was defined as CR + PR and was assessed by IRC according to RECIST v1.1.1
- ORR, DoR, CNS ORR, CNS DoR results reviewed by an IRC.1,5
- CNS ORR was a prespecified secondary endpoint that was evaluated and confirmed by an IRC.1

Hepatotoxicity: Serious hepatic adverse reactions occurred in 3% of patients treated with Retevmo. Increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) occurred in 59% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 events in 11% and increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) occurred in 55% of patients, including Grade 3 or 4 events in 12%. Monitor ALT and AST prior to initiating Retevmo, every 2 weeks during the first 3 months, then monthly thereafter and as clinically indicated. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Retevmo based on the severity.
Trial Design
LIBRETTO-431: A Phase III superiority trial of Retevmo versus chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab for patients with RET fusion-positive advanced or metastatic NSCLC6-8

Chart showing trial design for LIBRETTO-431, a randomized, global, multicenter, open-label, Phase III trial that evaluated Retevmo versus chemotherapy (pemetrexed and carboplatin or cisplatin) with or without pembrolizumab in treatment-naive adult patients with RET fusion-positive advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC. Of the 261 total patients enrolled, 159 patients were randomized to Retevmo and 102 patients were randomized to chemotherapy with or without pembrolizumab.
Crossover to Retevmo was optional for patients in the control arm upon confirmed progression as evaluated by IRC.
aPatients with brain metastases were eligible to be enrolled if asymptomatic and neurologically stable for 2 weeks.
bThe crossover rate to Retevmo on study was 61.8% (n=42/68). Off-study crossover to a selective RET inhibitor occurred in an additional 15% of patients. The primary efficacy endpoint was PFS for Retevmo, evaluated in ITT-pembro and in ITT populations; secondary endpoints included ORR, DoR, CNS ORR, and CNS DoR.
cAll primary and secondary endpoints listed were assessed by IRC per RECIST v1.1. CNS ORR and CNS DoR were also assessed per RANO-BM.
Efficacy presentation focuses on the cohort of patients that investigators intended to treat with pembrolizumab (ITT-pembro), which included 129 patients who were randomized to Retevmo and 83 patients who were randomized to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy.
Retevmo was dosed at 160 mg BID. Pembrolizumab was dosed at 200 mg Q3W. Chemotherapy included pemetrexed (500 mg/m2 Q3W) and carboplatin (AUC 5 Q3W) or cisplatin (75 mg/m2 Q3W).
Patients were stratified per investigator's choice of treatment with or without pembrolizumab if randomized to the control arm. Choice was declared prior to randomization. The subset of patients randomized with the intent not to receive pembrolizumab was less than 20% of total randomized patients, and is analyzed only as part of the intent-to-treat population.
Additional stratification factors: geography, brain metastases at baseline per investigator assessment.
aPatients with brain metastases were eligible to be enrolled if asymptomatic and neurologically stable for 2 weeks.
bThe crossover rate to Retevmo on study was 61.8% (n=42/68). Off-study crossover to a selective RET inhibitor occurred in an additional 15% of patients.
cAll primary and secondary endpoints listed were assessed by IRC per RECIST v1.1. CNS ORR and CNS DoR were also assessed per RANO-BM.

PFS
In patients with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive NSCLC
Retevmo demonstrated superior PFS compared to pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy7,9

This image shows median PFS in Retevmo-treated patients versus those treated with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy. PFS was assessed in all randomized patients and was based on an interim analysis with a data cutoff date of May 1, 2023. For patients treated with Retevmo (n=129), median PFS was 24.8 months (95% CI: 16.9, NE) with median follow-up of 19.4 months. In patients treated with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy (n=83), median PFS was 11.2 months (95% CI: 8.8, 16.8), with median follow-up of 18.9 months. An accompanying Kaplan-Meier curve shows progression-free survival for Retevmo-treated patients of 71.2% at 12 months and 58.6% at 18 months. PFS for patients treated with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy was 47.8% at 12 months and 34.0% at 18 months. Hazard ratio was 0.47 (p=0.0002).
Median PFS: 24.8 months (95% CI: 17.3, NE) with Retevmo (n=159) vs 11.2 months (95% CI: 8.8, 16.8) for the entire control arm (n=102).7,9,§

Severe, life-threatening, and fatal interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis can occur in patients treated with Retevmo. ILD/pneumonitis occurred in 1.8% of patients who received Retevmo, including 0.3% with Grade 3 or 4 events, and 0.3% with fatal reactions. Monitor for pulmonary symptoms indicative of ILD/pneumonitis. Withhold Retevmo and promptly investigate for ILD in any patient who presents with acute or worsening of respiratory symptoms which may be indicative of ILD (e.g., dyspnea, cough, and fever). Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Retevmo based on severity of confirmed ILD.

Hypertension occurred in 41% of patients, including Grade 3 hypertension in 20% and Grade 4 in one (0.1%) patient. Overall, 6.3% had their dose interrupted and 1.3% had their dose reduced for hypertension. Treatment-emergent hypertension was most commonly managed with anti-hypertension medications. Do not initiate Retevmo in patients with uncontrolled hypertension. Optimize blood pressure prior to initiating Retevmo. Monitor blood pressure after 1 week, at least monthly thereafter, and as clinically indicated. Initiate or adjust anti-hypertensive therapy as appropriate. Withhold, reduce dose, or permanently discontinue Retevmo based on the severity.
