Eli Lilly Reports Positive Results for Retevmo in NSCLC Trial
- Trial Success: The LIBRETTO-432 trial demonstrated that Retevmo (selpercatinib) as adjuvant therapy significantly improved event-free survival (EFS) in early-stage RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, indicating its potential value and likely enhancing market acceptance.
- Survival Trends Favorable: Although overall survival results were immature at the time of analysis, preliminary data showed a favorable trend for Retevmo, highlighting its importance in early treatment and potentially encouraging more patients to undergo genomic testing for optimized therapy.
- Patient Recruitment: The LIBRETTO-432 trial enrolled 151 patients randomized 1:1 to receive either Retevmo or placebo, ensuring the reliability and clinical applicability of the results, further validating the use of targeted therapies in lung cancer.
- Future Outlook: Eli Lilly plans to present detailed trial results at an upcoming medical congress and submit data to global health authorities, which is expected to accelerate the adoption of targeted therapies in early-stage NSCLC patients and promote the widespread use of genomic testing.

Eli Lilly's Late-Stage Trial Achieves Key Goals
- Trial Success: Eli Lilly announced that its TOGETHER-PsO open-label Phase 3b trial successfully met both primary and key secondary endpoints, demonstrating the efficacy of its weight loss therapy Zepbound combined with psoriasis therapy Taltz, marking a significant advancement for obese or overweight patients with plaque psoriasis.
- Significant Weight Loss: Over 36 weeks, 27% of patients receiving the combination therapy achieved at least a 10% weight loss and complete skin clearance, showcasing the potential of this combination therapy to improve patient quality of life, far exceeding the 5.8% achieved with Taltz alone.
- Efficacy Comparison: The key secondary endpoint revealed that patients on the combination regimen were 40% more likely to achieve PASI 100 compared to those receiving Taltz alone, further validating the advantages of using Zepbound with Taltz, which could enhance future market acceptance.
- Safety Profile: The trial reported mostly mild to moderate adverse events consistent with the known tolerability profiles of each drug, indicating the acceptability of this combination therapy in terms of safety, laying the groundwork for future regulatory discussions.
