Abbreviations: CR, complete response; DoR, duration of response; IRC, independent review committee; MTC, medullary thyroid cancer; NE, not evaluable; OS, overall survival; PD, progressive disease; PFS, progression-free survival; PR, partial response; RET, REarranged during Transfection; SD, stable disease; TC, thyroid cancer.

a

Treatment naïve refers to therapies other than radioactive iodine.

b

Cabozantinib/vandetanib naïve included treatment-naïve patients (n = 116) and patients who were not previously treated with cabozantinib/vandetanib (n = 27).

c

Objective response rate was defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of confirmed CR or PR.

d

95% CI was calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method.

e

Clinical benefit rate (%) was defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of a confirmed CR, PR, or SD lasting ≥16 weeks. SD was measured from the date of the first dose of selpercatinib until the criteria for PD were first met.

f

95% CIs were calculated using the Brookmeyer-Crowley method.

g

Estimate based on the Kaplan-Meier method.

h

95% CIs were calculated using the Greenwood formula.
