medwireNews: Pralsetinib may now be given to metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer patients with a confirmed RET fusion, the US FDA has announced.

Use of the RET inhibitor and a companion diagnostic test for the alteration have been given accelerated approval following objective response rate and duration of response rate findings from the ARROW trial of platinum-treated patients with a RET fusion.

Pralsetinib is recommended at a dose of 400 mg once daily taken orally on an empty stomach. The most common adverse reactions are laboratory-measured abnormalities, such as liver enzyme elevations, as well as fatigue, constipation, and musculoskeletal pain.
