Larotrectinib for the Treatment of NTRK Amplification Positive, Locally Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors (NCT04879121)

A Phase II Basket Study of the Oral TRK Inhibitor Larotrectinib (BAY2757556) in Subjects With NTRK Amplification Positive and Pan-TRK Positive Tumors

🟢 Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II trial studies the effect of larotrectinib in treating patients with NTRK gene amplification positive solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Larotrectinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (14 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (11 items).

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Investigational agent or anticancer therapy within 2 weeks prior to the planned start of larotrectinib or five half-lives, whichever is shorter, and without clinically significant toxicities from that therapy
  • Prior progression while receiving approved or investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting TRK. However, subjects who received less than 28 days of such treatment and discontinued because of intolerance or toxicity are eligible
  • Symptomatic or unstable brain metastases that needs corticosteroid usage. Subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases or primary CNS tumors are eligible
  • Uncontrolled concurrent malignancy that would limit assessment of efficacy. Allowed diseases may include, but are not limited to in situ cancers of cervix, breast, or skin, superficial bladder cancer, limited-stage prostate cancer, and basal or squamous cancers of the skin
  • Active uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection, unstable cardiovascular disease or other systemic disease that would limit compliance with study procedures. Unstable cardiovascular disease is defined as:
  • Persistently uncontrolled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure (BP) \> 150 mmHg and/or diastolic BP \> 100 mmHg despite antihypertensive therapy
  • Myocardial infarction within 3 months of screening
  • Stroke within 3 months of screening
  • Inability to discontinue treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP450), 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor or inducer prior to start of treatment
  • Pregnancy or lactation
