Mechanism of action
From the NCI Drug Dictionary: An orally bioavailable selective inhibitor of wild-type, mutant and fusion products involving the proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase rearranged during transfection (RET), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, LOXO-292 selectively binds to and targets various RET mutants and RET-containing fusion products. This results in an inhibition of cell growth of tumors cells that exhibit increased RET activity.
Diseases for which it is established
- RET-positive NSCLC
- RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer
- RET-positive thyroid cancer
- RET+ solid tumors (tissue-agnostic)
History of changes in FDA indication
Non-small cell lung cancer
- 2020-05-08: Granted accelerated approval for adult patients with metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (Based on LIBRETTO-001NSCLC)

RET (tissue-agnostic)
- 2022-09-21: Granted accelerated approval for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a rearranged during transfection (RET) gene fusion that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. (Based on LIBRETTO-001RET)
- 2024-05-29: Granted accelerated approval for pediatric patients two years of age and older with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with a RET gene fusion, as detected by an FDA-approved test, that have progressed on or following prior systemic treatment or who have no satisfactory alternative treatment options. (Based on LIBRETTO-121)

- 2023-06-12: Regular approval for adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer who require systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate). (Based on LIBRETTO-001thyroid)
- 2024-05-29: Granted accelerated approval for pediatric patients two years of age and older with advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) with a RET mutation, as detected by an FDA-approved test, who require systemic therapy. (Based on LIBRETTO-121)
- 2024-05-29: Granted accelerated approval for pediatric patients two years of age and older with advanced or metastatic thyroid cancer with a RET gene fusion, as detected by an FDA-approved test, who require systemic therapy and who are radioactive iodine-refractory (if radioactive iodine is appropriate). (Based on LIBRETTO-121)
