Eli Lilly & Co. LLY, +0.66% on Tuesday reported positive results from a study evaluating its targeted therapy Retevmo versus the current standard initial treatments for patients with advanced or metastatic rearranged during transfection -mutant medullary thyroid cancer. Retevmo demonstrated a significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival, compared with the multikinase inhibitors cabozantinib and vandetanib, Lilly said in a release.
The data “suggest Retevmo should be considered the preferred first-line treatment” for people with this type of thyroid cancer, Dr. David Hyman, chief medical officer of Loxo@Lilly, said in a statement. Earlier this month, Lilly also reported that Retevmo demonstrated improved progression-free survival compared with platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with RET fusion-positive advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, intensifying competition with Blueprint Medicines Corp.
