Abstract | Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly becoming an important part of clinical trials as they are helpful in analyzing the safety and efficacy of treatment in chronic diseases like cancer. Objectives: We report PROs and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with selpercatinib treatment among Chinese patients with rearranged in transfection (RET) fusion-positive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer (TC), and RET-mutant medullary TC (MTC) as an exploratory analysis of the LIBRETTO-321 trial. Design: A total of 77 patients (47 RET fusion-positive NSCLC, 1 RET fusion-positive TC, and 29 RET-mutant MTC) were enrolled. Compliance for European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) was 100% at baseline and >90% at each time point. Methods: PROs were assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30, and a bowel diary assessment for MTC patients with baseline diarrhea using the Systemic Therapy-Induced Diarrhea Assessment Tool. Data were collected at pre-dose; every 8 weeks from cycle 3; and every 12 weeks after cycle 13. A >10-point change from baseline was considered clinically meaningful. PRO changes were summarized through cycle 13. Results: Most patients with NSCLC or MTC showed improvement or remained stable on the global health status and functional subscales. For global health status, 47.4% of NSCLC and MTC patients showed definite improvement with only 19.7% showing definite worsening. For functional subscales, less than 30% of the patients showed definite worsening. For symptom subscales, more than 64% of the patients either improved or remained stable for the symptoms. For MTC patients with bowel diary assessment (n = 5), there was no severity or worsening from baseline in the diarrheal episodes observed during treatment with selpercatinib. Conclusion: The study demonstrated favorable PROs in Chinese patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, TC, and RET-mutant MTC treated with selpercatinib. HRQoL was improved or stable as assessed by EORTC QLQ-30. Trail registration: This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04280081) ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04280081.
