Abstract Introduction: Selpercatinib, approved by FDA in May 2020 is a highly selective and potent RET inhibitor which has demonstrated antitumor activity in patients (pts) with RET-altered non-small-cell lung cancer and thyroid cancer. To further characterize clinical safety, we analyzed the timing of selected treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as well as long-term use of selpercatinib. Methods: Pts with RET-fusion positive or RET-mutant tumors who received at least 1 dose of selpercatinib, as part of the LIBRETTO-001 study, were included in this analysis (data-cut off 19 Dec 2019; NCT 03157128). Median time to onset, dose reduction, and discontinuation due to TEAEs were evaluated for relevant common TEAEs (≥25% of pts) and TEAEs of special interest. TEAE data were also analyzed according to time exposed to treatment at cutoff (&amp;lt;12 or ≥12 months). Results: A total of 702 pts were included in the analysis and 99% experienced ≥1 TEAE (any grade). At cutoff, median time on treatment was 8.7 mo, with 78% continuing to receive selpercatinib. Common TEAEs and TEAEs of interest are summarized (median time to onset, dose reduction, and discontinuation due to TEAEs) in the table. 466 (66.4%) pts received treatment for &amp;lt;12 months, whereas 236 (33.6%) pts received treatment for ≥12 months. Similar rates of grade ≥3 TEAEs were observed across the two exposure groups, 271 (58.2%) pts and 145 (61.4%) pts on treatment for &amp;lt;12 months and ≥12 months, respectively. 138 (29.6%) pts on treatment &amp;lt;12 months and 81 (34.3%) pts on treatment ≥12 months underwent dose reductions due to TEAEs. 32 (6.9%) pts on treatment &amp;lt;12 months and 5 (2.1%) pts on treatment ≥12 months discontinued treatment due to TEAEs. Conclusion: Most TEAEs had a median onset within the first month of treatment, with TEAEs minimally impacting a patient's ability to receive selpercatinib. In these analyses, no new safety concerns were identified in patients on treatment for &amp;lt;12 months or ≥12 months.
