Abstract 627P
Background
Larotrectinib is the first-in-class, highly selective, CNS-active TRK inhibitor approved for tumour-agnostic use in patients (pts) with TRK fusion cancer. We report long-term efficacy and safety data in adult and paediatric pts with non-primary CNS TRK fusion cancer.
Methods
Data were pooled from 3 larotrectinib clinical trials (NCT02637687 [SCOUT], NCT02576431, NCT02122913). Responses were independent review committee (IRC)-assessed per 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, 304 pts were included, with 302 eligible for efficacy analyses by IRC. Twenty-five pts had CNS metastases at baseline. Median age was 45 years (range 0–90). There were 28 different tumour types, including soft tissue sarcoma (24%), infantile fibrosarcoma (16%), lung (11%) and thyroid (10%). Pts received a median of 1 prior line of systemic therapy; 115 (38%) received ≥2. NTRK gene fusions were detected by NGS, FISH, PCR, NanoString, an unknown method, and chromosomal microarray in 267 (88%), 18 (6%), 14 (5%), 2 (1%), 2 (1%) and 1 (<1%) pt, respectively. ORR was 65% (95% CI 59–70): 82 (27%) CR (including 17 pathological CR), 113 (37%) PR, 55 (18%) SD, 32 (11%) PD and 20 (7%) not evaluable. Median time to response was 1.8 months (mo). Median duration of response, progression-free survival and overall survival were 43 mo (95% CI 33–not estimable), 28 mo (95% CI 20–36) and not reached, respectively, at median follow-ups of 37, 36 and 46 mo. The 6-year OS rate was 57% (95% CI 50–65). Treatment duration was up to 87+ mo. At data cut-off, 118 pts had progressed; 59 continued treatment post-progression for ≥4 weeks due to continued clinical benefit. Fifty-one of 100 paediatric pts 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 68 (22%) pts. Five (2%) pts discontinued due to TRAEs.
Conclusions
Larotrectinib continued to demonstrate rapid and durable responses, extended survival and a favourable safety profile. This supports the wider adoption of NGS panels that include NTRK gene fusions to identify pts who may benefit from treatment with TRK inhibitors.
