Clinical Trial Summary

A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pralsetinib compared with SOC treatment (cabozantinib or vandetanib) for participants with RET (rearranged during transfection)-mutant MTC who have not previously received a SOC MultiKinase Inhibitor (MKI) therapy. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into one of two treatment arms: Arm A (pralsetinib) or Arm B (investigator's choice of either cabozantinib or vandetanib for adults and vandetanib for adolescents). Participants whose disease progresses during SOC treatment will be offered the option to cross over to receive pralsetinib after confirmation of progressive disease by blinded independent central review (BICR).

• Have received hematopoietic growth factor support or transfusion within 14 days of the first dose of study drug.
• Had a major surgical procedure within 14 days of the first dose of study drug.
• Have a history of another primary malignancy that has been diagnosed or required therapy within the past 2 years before randomisation.

• Have an active, uncontrolled infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) or is positive for Hepatitis B/C infections (HBV/HCV) or HIV.
• Have received organ or allogenic bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
• Is a female who is unwilling to abstain from sexual intercourse or employ highly effective contraception from the time of informed consent and for at least 4 months after the last dose of study drug.
• Is a male who is unwilling to abstain from sexual intercourse or employ highly effective contraception from the time of informed consent and for at least 120 days after the final dose of study drug.
• Have prior or ongoing clinically significant illness, medical condition, surgical history, physical finding, or laboratory abnormality that, in the Investigator's or Sponsor's opinion, could affect the safety of the patient or impair the assessment of study results.
