The LIBRETTO-432 study, officially titled ‘A Placebo-controlled Double-Blinded Randomized Phase 3 Study of Adjuvant Selpercatinib Following Definitive Locoregional Treatment in Participants With Stage IB-IIIA RET Fusion-Positive NSCLC,’ aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of selpercatinib in delaying cancer recurrence in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients post-surgery or radiation. This study is significant as it explores a potential new treatment avenue for RET fusion-positive NSCLC, a subset of lung cancer with limited targeted therapy options.
The intervention being tested is selpercatinib, an oral drug designed to inhibit cancer growth in RET fusion-positive NSCLC patients. It is compared against a placebo to assess its effectiveness in preventing cancer recurrence.
The study follows an interventional design with a randomized allocation and a parallel intervention model. It employs triple masking, meaning that the participant, investigator, and outcomes assessor are unaware of the treatment assignments. The primary purpose of the study is treatment-focused.
The study began on December 20, 2021, with an estimated primary completion date yet to be announced. The last update was submitted on July 22, 2025, indicating ongoing progress. These dates are crucial as they mark the study’s timeline and progress toward potential treatment breakthroughs.
This clinical update could positively impact Eli Lilly and Loxo Oncology’s stock performance by enhancing investor confidence in their innovative cancer treatment pipeline. As the study progresses, it may influence the competitive landscape of lung cancer therapies, particularly for RET fusion-positive NSCLC.
The LIBRETTO-432 study is actively ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
