Selpercatinib, a RET-Inhibitor for children with solid tumours and brain tumours

 “A Phase 1/2 Study of the Oral RET Inhibitor LOXO-292 in Pediatric Patients with Advanced RET-Altered Solid or Primary Central Nervous System Tumors Safety and Tolerability, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics in Paediatric Patients with Solid Tumours (LOXO-RET-18036)”

In this clinical trial children, adolescents and young adults between 12 and 21 years will be treated with Selpercatinib (Loxo-292).

Selpercatinib specifically inhibits the Receptor-Tyrosine Kinase (RET), meaning it blocks a type of enzyme (kinase) and helps prevent the cancer cells from growing. Before beginning treatment, the identification of a RET gene alteration must be determined using laboratory testing.

Therefore, in this clinical trial adnvanced tumours with RET-alterations are treated after standard therapy. Selpercatinib i staken orally over a 28-day cycle as gelatine capsules or as a liquid suspension.

Inclusion of patients in Heidelberg has been possible since 16 July 2020.
