Larotrectinib is an investigational tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of patients with cancers that harbor a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor Purpose of Review In this review, we highlight the pre-clinical development, recent clinical studies, and future directions of larotrectinib in patients with NTRK fusion-positive tumors. Recent Findings The tropomyosin receptor kinase family, TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC, transmit extracellular signals via a variety of intracellular pathways to promote normal neuronal development. TrkA, B, and C are Obecnie Pan Andrzej jest hospitalizowany w Warszawie. Usunięto mu jedną nerkę, trwa walka o uratowanie drugiej. Do leczenia włączona została chemioterapia. Prawdopodobnie będą potrzebne dializy. Istnieje realne zagrożenie amputacją porażonej kończyny. Szansą dla pana Andrzeja jest lek larotrectinib sprowadzony z Niemiec. Rodzina This article provides an overview of larotrectinib, a targeted therapy. Methods This article reviews clinical trial results and highlights implications for oncology nurses caring for patients taking larotrectinib. Findings Larotrectinib is an effective treatment option for some patients with NTRK gene fusion-positive cancers. In terms of resistance to larotrectinib, we previously reported possible contributory factors in patients with primary progressive disease. 9 We also identified mechanisms of acquired resistance in patients with larotrectinib-treated TRK fusion-positive tumours, including the emergence of NTRK kinase domain mutations or bypass tract activation Larotrectinib is a first-in-class potent and highly selective inhibitor of TRK kinases. In this first-in-human, phase I dose-escalation study, we showed that larotrectinib was well tolerated and provided consistent and durable antitumour activity in adults with TRK fusion cancer. The safety of larotrectinib was evaluated in 176 patients enrolled across the three clinical trials, including 44 pediatric patients. The most common adverse reactions (≥20%) with larotrectinib Advertisement. On November 26, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted accelerated approved of Vitrakvi (larotrectinib), the first drug developed to treat cancer with a specific genetic characteristic regardless of its location in the body. Vitrakvi was approved for adults and children with metastatic solid tumors (not blood cancers LAROTRECTINIB SOLN,ORAL (Non-Formulary) is an item listed by VA within the class ANTINEOPLASTIC,OTHER. LAROTRECTINIB SOLN,ORAL has a VA Formualry status of 'Non-Formulary' and is within VA copay tier level 3. The EPI VITRAKVI study is a retrospective study designed to place the results of the single-arm Phase I/II larotrectinib SCOUT trial into context by comparison with external historical controls. Its primary objective is to compare the time to medical treatment failure between larotrectinib and the h … The RDs between larotrectinib and entrectinib before and after matching in the assessment of safety outcomes are summarized in Table 4. Before matching, larotrectinib was associated with numerically lower rates of serious TRAEs (RD: −4.6%; p = 0.27) and TRAEs leading to discontinuation (RD: −3.3%; p = 0.18) compared According to García-Foncillas, larotrectinib and entrectinib are first-generation tyrosine receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors that are approved for the treatment of metastatic solid tumors with neurotrophic gene fusions. Approval of both agents were based on single-arm phase 1 and 2 studies known as the “basket trials.”. While the trials The trial’s results, published in The Lancet Oncology, were unprecedented: 93 percent of patients with a TRK fusion responded positively to the drug. All but one of those patients saw their tumors regress. Similar results were reported in a New England Journal of Medicine paper that included data for both children and adults. The current paper reviews the clinical development of larotrectinib, a selective inhibitor of the Trk kinase family, for the treatment of fusions in the general oncologic population, and the incorporation of larotrectinib into the therapeutic algorithms.

Larotrectinib is an orally administered tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) inhibitor with demonstrated antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, larotrectinib binds to Trk, thereby preventing neurotrophin-Trk interaction and Trk activation, which results in both the induction of cellular apoptosis and the inhibition .
