LIBRETTO-531
| Registered Title | A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Phase 3 Trial Comparing Selpercatinib to Physicians Choice of Cabozantinib or Vandetanib in Patients With Progressive, Advanced, Kinase Inhibitor Naïve, RET-Mutant Medullary Thyroid Cancer (LIBRETTO-531) |

Participants who are assigned to the standard treatment and discontinue due to progressive disease have the option to potentially crossover to selpercatinib. |
