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

History of changes in FDA indication

Non-small cell lung cancer

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)

Thyroid cancer

    • 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)
