Larotrectinib is a first-in-class, highly selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor approved to treat adult and pediatric patients with TRK fusion-positive cancer. The aim of this study was evaluate the efficacy safety larotrectinib in primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors.Patients CNS tumors from two clinical trials (NCT02637687, NCT02576431) were identified. endpoint investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR).As July 2020, 33 identified (median age: 8.9 years;...

Larotrectinib is a highly selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor with efficacy in children TRK fusion tumors. We evaluated patient outcomes after elective discontinuation of larotrectinib the absence disease progression protocol-defined wait-and-see subset analysis eligible patients where treatment resumption was allowed if progressed. also assessed safety and all pediatric sarcoma. This cohort included 91 (younger than 18 years) from two clinical trials: infantile...

Abstract Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is a rare pediatric cancer that typically presents early in life. Surgical resection commonly curative; however, sometimes not possible requiring additional multimodal treatment. IFS harbors fusion one of the neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase ( NTRK ) genes. Larotrectinib, highly selective inhibitor tropomyosin (TRK), has been shown to be well tolerated and effective children as young 1‐month old. We report case newborn treated with larotrectinib....

Here we report a case of an 11-year-old girl with inoperable tumor in the optic chiasm/hypothalamus, who experienced several progressions despite three lines chemotherapy treatment. Routine clinical examination classified as BRAF-negative pilocytic astrocytoma. Copy-number variation profiling fresh frozen material identified two duplications 9q21.32–33 leading to breakpoints within GKAP1 and NTRK2 genes. RT-PCR Sanger sequencing revealed GKAP1-NTRK2 exon 10–16 in-frame fusion, generating...

Abstract BACKGROUND Larotrectinib is the first-in-class, highly selective TRK inhibitor approved for tumor-agnostic use in patients with fusion cancer. We report data on larotrectinib-treated pediatric primary CNS tumors. METHODS Patients aged <18 years tumors enrolled two clinical trials (NCT02637687, NCT02576431) were included. Responses independent review committee (IRC)-assessed per RANO. permitted to stop larotrectinib absence of on-treatment progression (wait-and-see) and remain...

PURPOSE Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase ( NTRK) gene fusions encode oncogenic, chimeric tropomyosin (TRK) proteins. Larotrectinib, an approved TRK inhibitor, is efficacious in locally advanced or metastatic (adv/met) fusion cancer. We evaluated the time from initial diagnosis to disease and initiation of larotrectinib treatment as well impact on course. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were grouped by prior lines therapy (0, 1-2, ≥ 3) pre-larotrectinib duration adv/met (short [< 3.5...

We evaluated in 214 patients with primary colorectal cancer the prognostic value of preoperative serum levels CEA and CA195. For these were above cutoff 6 ng/ml 31.3% patients, whereas for CA195 they higher than 12 U/ml 35.9% patients. The simultaneous use both antigens increased sensitivity to 49%, which was significantly that (p < 0.001) 0.01) taken singly. mean correlated Dukes' stage only, while there a significant correlation between 0.001), grade differentiation tumor location 0.05)....

Abstract The outcome of pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) depends heavily on the success surgery. In cases where surgery alone is not curative, genetic analysis can be used to identify treatment targets for precision medicine. Here, we report a pediatric PA case that underwent incomplete surgical resection due tumor location. Clinical routine analyses demonstrated did carry any BRAF alteration. After postoperative surveillance, according low-grade glioma (LGG) protocol, recurrent progressions...

Abstract BACKGROUND TRK fusion proteins are oncogenic drivers of various CNS and non-CNS tumors. Larotrectinib, a highly selective FDA- EMA-approved inhibitor, demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) 79% across cancers (Hong et al. Lancet Oncol. 2020). We report data in expanded set primary tumors treated with larotrectinib. METHODS Patients harboring NTRK gene larotrectinib two clinical trials (NCT02637687, NCT02576431) were identified. Disease status was investigator-assessed (RANO)....
