Abstract Text | Activating RET alterations have been reported in a variety of solid tumors, including pheochromocytoma where they occur both sporadically and as part of familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) syndromes. Selpercatinib is a first-in-class, highly selective, and potent small molecule RET kinase inhibitor that has demonstrated marked and durable anti-tumor activity in diverse RET-activated solid tumors in the LIBRETTO-001 study (NCT03157128).We describe the first six pheochromocytoma cases treated with selpercatinib in the LIBRETTO-001 study.Of the six patients (one sporadic and five reported as part of MEN2 syndromes) in this case report, four had a partial response/complete response and two had stable disease per independent review committee. Treatment duration ranged from 9.2 months to more than 56.4 months. The safety profile of treatment was consistent with selpercatinib in other indications.These data support selpercatinib as an effective therapy against RET-mutant pheochromocytoma, adding to the diversity of RET-activated tumor types that may benefit from targeted RET inhibition. |

RET C618S | malignant pheochromocytoma | predicted - sensitive | Selpercatinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a Phase I/II trial (LIBRETTO-001), Retevmo (selpercatinib) treatment resulted in a partial response lasting 3.8 months in a patient with metastatic pheochromocytoma harboring RET C618S (PMID: 38661071; NCT03157128). | 38661071 |
RET C634R | malignant pheochromocytoma | predicted - sensitive | Selpercatinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a Phase I/II trial (LIBRETTO-001), Retevmo (selpercatinib) treatment resulted in stable disease lasting 9.4 months in a patient with metastatic pheochromocytoma harboring germline RET C634R and resulted in a partial response with treatment lasting 28.4 months in a second patient with metastatic pheochromocytoma harboring germline RET C634R (PMID: 38661071; NCT03157128). | 38661071 |
RET C634F | malignant pheochromocytoma | predicted - sensitive | Selpercatinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a Phase I/II trial (LIBRETTO-001), Retevmo (selpercatinib) treatment resulted in a partial response with treatment lasting 37 months in a patient with metastatic pheochromocytoma harboring germline RET C634F (PMID: 38661071; NCT03157128). | 38661071 |
RET M918T | malignant pheochromocytoma | predicted - sensitive | Selpercatinib | Case Reports/Case Series | Actionable | In a Phase I/II trial (LIBRETTO-001), Retevmo (selpercatinib) treatment resulted in stable disease with progression-free survival for at least 56.3 months in a patient with metastatic pheochromocytoma harboring somatic RET M918T and resulted in a complete response by IRC assessment and partial response by investigator assessment in a second patient with concomitant pheochromocytoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma harboring germline RET M918T (PMID: 38661071;NCT03157128). | 38661071 |
