Selpercatinib is a highly selective, potent RET inhibitor, an oral drug used to treat cancers in people whose tumours have been altered (mutated or fused) in specific genes (RET stands for "rearrangement during transfection").
Selpercatinib can cause serious side effects including liver toxicity, high blood pressure, heart rhythm changes due to prolongation of heart electrical activity (QT prolongation), bleeding, allergic reactions, impaired wound healing and harm to an unborn baby.
Selpercatinib may cause harm to a developing fetus or a newborn baby.
