A Study of Selpercatinib (LY3527723) in Participants With RET-Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer
NCT04211337 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug selpercatinib is safe and more effective compared to a standard treatment in participants with rearranged during transfection (RET)-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body. Participants who are assigned to the standard treatment and discontinue due to progressive disease have the option to potentially crossover to selpercatinib.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04211337
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04211337 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 291 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Loxo Oncology, which has 35 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Medullary Thyroid Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Cabozantinib is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04211337 reports 20 study locations spanning 14 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Ohio, Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
