On August 12, 2022, Vivek Subbiah and colleagues from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center published results in Nature Medicine from the ARROW Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib monotherapy in patients with RET fusion-positive advanced solid tumors.

Trial Design:

The ARROW Phase 1/2 trial enrolled previously treated patients with RET fusion-positive advanced solid tumors ineligible for standard treatment (N=29) who received pralsetinib monotherapy. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR).

Results (N=23 evaluable):

  • ORR: 57%
  • Complete response (CR): 13%
  • Partial response (PR): 43%
  • Median duration of response: 11.7 months
  • Median PFS: 7 months
  • Median OS: 14 months
  • Grade 3+ adverse events: neutropenia 31%, anemia 14%

Conclusion: Based on the ARROW Phase 1/2 trial results, Vivek Subbiah and colleagues concluded that pralsetinib monotherapy demonstrated rapid, potent, and durable anti-tumor activity with acceptable tolerability in patients with RET fusion-positive advanced solid tumors.
