Mechanisms of acquired resistance

These three clinical trials (LOXO-TRK-14001, SCOUT and NAVIGATE) also investigated the mechanisms of acquired resistance to larotrectinib (i.e. disease progression during treatment after a documented objective response or stable disease for ≥6 months), which was observed in 10 patients and further characterised in 9 patients [1-2]. These included solvent-front substitutions in 7 patients, gatekeeper substitutions in 2 patients, and xDFG substitutions in 2 patients. Three patients had more than one acquired resistance mutation. Among these 10 patients, 80% continued treatment with larotrectinib beyond progression because of ongoing clinical benefit.
