• Massive metastatic infiltration of the liver
• 3 prior anti-RET MKIs: cabozantinib, vandetanib, lenvatinib

Conclusions• Selpercatinib demonstrated robust and durable anti-tumor activity in RET-mutant MTC and RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer
– Prior cabozantinib and/or vandetanib MTC (n=55): – Heavily pre-treated population (53% with ≥2 MKIs)– ORR 56% (95% CI: 42‒70) – Median DOR not reached (95% CI: 11.1‒NE), median PFS not reached (95% CI: 11.3‒NE)– Significant and stable reductions in calcitonin and CEA in most patients
– Cabozantinib/vandetanib-naïve MTC (n=76): ORR 59% (95% CI 47‒70), median DOR, PFS not reached– RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer (n=26): ORR 62% (95% CI 41‒80), median DOR, PFS not reached
• Favorable safety profile– Safety database (n= 531):
– Most AEs low grade and unrelated to selpercatinib– Only 1.7% discontinued therapy for treatment-related AEs
• Outcomes with selpercatinib after treatment with approved MKIs comparable to outcomes with MKIs when they are used in first line, and less toxic
• New Drug Application (NDA) submission to US FDA planned by the end of 2019
