Primary current-line option

Aggressive plan
★ DEFAULT
Indication
IND-MTC-ADVANCED-1L-CABOZANTINIB-RET-WT
Regimen
Cabozantinib monotherapy (advanced/progressive RET-WT MTC, 1L; or RET-mutant where RET-selective unavailable)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Cabozantinib (DRUG-CABOZANTINIB) 140 mg PO once daily on empty stomach (Cometriq capsule formulation — MTC-specific) · Continuous, until progression or unacceptable toxicity · PO ✗ Not registered in UA
Reason
Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-MTC-1L at step 2.

Other current-line alternatives (1 tracks)

Same treatment line; review when biomarker, access, contraindication, or patient-context assumptions change.
Standard plan
Indication
IND-MTC-ADVANCED-1L-SELPERCATINIB
Regimen
Selpercatinib monotherapy (advanced/progressive RET-mutant MTC, 1L)
Drugs + NSZU
  • Selpercatinib (DRUG-SELPERCATINIB) 160 mg PO BID with food (≥50 kg); 120 mg BID (<50 kg) · Continuous, until progression or unacceptable toxicity · PO ✗ Not registered in UA
Reason
Current-line alternative presented for HCP consideration

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Aggressive plan (IND-MTC-ADVANCED-1L-CABOZANTINIB-RET-WT)
  • Do NOT start cabozantinib without baseline + monthly BP measurement and dental evaluation (osteonecrosis-of-jaw risk).
  • Do NOT continue cabozantinib through GI perforation / fistula or severe hemorrhage — permanent discontinuation is required (boxed warning).
  • Do NOT substitute Cabometyx tablets (RCC/HCC dose 60 mg) for Cometriq capsules (MTC dose 140 mg) — they are not bioequivalent.
Standard plan (IND-MTC-ADVANCED-1L-SELPERCATINIB)
  • Do NOT start systemic therapy in asymptomatic, structurally stable, slowly-rising-calcitonin MTC — observe with calcitonin / CEA q3-6 mo + imaging q6-12 mo.
  • Do NOT use radioactive iodine (RAI) in MTC — parafollicular C-cells do not concentrate iodide; RAI has zero efficacy.
  • Do NOT skip germline RET testing — ~25% of MTC is hereditary; positive germline drives kindred screening + pheochromocytoma surveillance + prophylactic-thyroidectomy timing in offspring.

    Chemoimmunotherapy regimen — drug-drug interactions, dose adjustments, premedication.
  • Molecular geneticist / molecular oncologist recommended
    Indication references an actionable genomic biomarker — mutation / target / actionability interpretation needed.

Data quality

Usable with caveats. No critical default-track gap was found, but the MDT should review the listed caveats before final sign-off.
