Abstract 628P

Background

Larotrectinib is the first-in-class, highly selective, CNS-active TRK inhibitor approved for tumour-agnostic use in pts with TRK fusion cancer. We report data on pts with TRK fusion cancer treated with larotrectinib in the first line.

Methods

Pts with treatment-naïve (no prior systemic therapy, excluding surgery and radioiodine, in the metastatic/unresectable setting) non-primary CNS TRK fusion cancer from 3 larotrectinib clinical trials (NCT02637687 [SCOUT], NCT02122913, NCT02576431) were included. Responses were independent review committee (IRC)-assessed (RECIST v1.1). Pts enrolled in SCOUT were permitted to stop larotrectinib in the absence of on-treatment progression (wait-and-see).

Results

As of 20 July 2023, of 101 pts enrolled (60 adults and 41 paediatrics [paeds]), 100 were eligible for IRC efficacy analyses. Four pts had baseline CNS metastases. There were 14 different tumour types; the most common were soft tissue sarcoma (30%), infantile fibrosarcoma (18%), salivary gland (18%) and thyroid (17%). Median age was 37 years (range 0–90). NTRK gene fusions were detected by NGS, FISH, PCR and an unknown method in 80, 12, 7 and 1% of pts, respectively. ORR was 77% (95% CI 68–85): 47% CR (including 10% pathologic CR), 30% PR, 11% SD, 9% PD and 3% not evaluable. ORR was 68% (95% CI 54–79) and 90% (95% CI 77–97) in adults and paeds, respectively. In all pts, median DoR, PFS and OS was 59 months (mo; 95% CI 33–not estimable [NE]), 61 mo (95% CI 33–NE) and not reached, respectively, at median follow-ups of 34, 36 and 50 mo. The 5-year OS rate was 76% (95% CI 65–86). Treatment duration was 0–6.4+ years. At data cut-off, 25 (61%) paeds enrolled in SCOUT had participated in ‘wait-and-see’. Treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were mainly Grade 1/2. Grade 3/4 TRAEs occurred in 26% of pts. One pt discontinued due to a TRAE (hypoventilation).

Conclusions

Larotrectinib continues to demonstrate rapid and durable responses, extended survival and a favourable safety profile in pts without prior systemic therapy. This supports the use of larotrectinib in a first-line setting and the wider adoption of NGS panels that include NTRK gene fusions to identify pts who may benefit from treatment.
