Abstract 5684

Background

Genomic rearrangements involving NTRK1/2/3 result in constitutively active TRK fusion proteins that are oncogenic drivers in multiple pediatric and adult cancers. Larotrectinib is a selective TRK inhibitor approved by the FDA in 2018 for the treatment of any TRK fusion cancer based on a primary analysis in 55 patients from 3 clinical trials [Drilon et al. NEJM 2018]. For the first time, we now report median duration of response (DOR) data in this primary cohort, as well as updated data in an expanded cohort of 159 total TRK fusion patients treated with larotrectinib, with 153 (55 primary + 98 supplemental) evaluable for efficacy.

Methods

Patients with TRK fusion cancer detected by local molecular profiling were treated with larotrectinib across 3 studies (NCT02122913, NCT02637687, and NCT02576431). Disease status was assessed by investigators using RECIST 1.1. Data cut-off was 19 February 2019.

Results

In the primary cohort of 55 patients with a median follow-up of 26 months, the median DOR in 44 patients with complete or partial responses was 35.2 months (95% CI 21.2–NE), with 17 progression events and 27 responses ongoing (range 1.6–44 months). The median PFS in the primary cohort was 25.8 months (95% CI 9.9–NE), with 27 patients having progressed. In the expanded combined dataset, the most common tumor types included soft tissue sarcoma (n = 36), infantile fibrosarcoma (n = 29), thyroid carcinoma (n = 26), salivary gland carcinoma (n = 21), and lung cancer (n = 12). The median age was 43 years, ranging from <1 month to 84 years; 33% <18 yr. The overall ORR was 79% (95% CI 72–85), with complete responses in 16%. Adverse events were primarily grade 1-2, with 13% of patients having had a grade 3-4 event related to larotrectinib. Only one patient discontinued due to an AE related to larotrectinib.

Conclusions

These data confirm the marked tissue-agnostic efficacy and long durability of response in patients with TRK fusion cancer treated with larotrectinib. Larotrectinib continued to demonstrate a favorable long-term safety profile. Screening patients for NTRK gene fusions should be actively considered.
