The results of the phase 1/2 LIBRETTO-001 clinical trial has recently established the efficacy of the RET inhibitor selpercatinib in RET-driven cancers. Here, the authors characterize the molecular determinants of response and resistance in 72 LIBRETTO-001 lung and thyroid cancer patients treated at a single site.
