1L, first line; ≥2L, second and later line; a/m, advanced/metastatic; CI, confidence interval; DCR, disease control rate; EC, external control; HR, hazard ratio; INV, investigator; MTC, medullary thyroid cancer; NR, not reached; OR, odds ratio; ORR, overall response rate; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; PSM, propensity score matching; RET, gene encoding rearranged during transfection protein; RWD, real-world data; SoC, standard of care.

a

Calculated using the reverse Kaplan–Meier method.

b

The generalised Hessian matrix was not a positive definite matrix; the iteration was terminated, and the standard error of the parameter estimates was not output. Although the parameter estimates were available, they should not be used for inference.
