Larotrectinib Efficacy And Safety In Adult Trk Fusion Cancer Patients.

3122 Background: A broad range of pediatric and adult malignancies harbor TRK fusions involving the NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 genes. The highly-selective TRK inhibitor, larotrectinib, has previously shown a high overall response rate (ORR) and a favorable safety profile in patients (pts) with TRK fusion cancer. To better delineate efficacy in adults, as pediatric pts have a particularly high ORR, here we report updated efficacy and safety data from the adult subset of pts with TRK fusion cancer treated with larotrectinib. Methods: Adult pts (aged 18 or older) with TRK fusion cancer detected by local testing in 2 larotrectinib clinical trials (NCT02122913 and NCT02576431) were analyzed. Larotrectinib was administered 100 mg PO BID until disease progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicity. Disease status was assessed by both investigator (INV) and independent assessment (IRC) using RECIST v1.1. Results: As of July 30, 2018, 83 adults (median age: 57 y, range 20–80 y) with TRK fusion cancer had been treated. Cancer types included salivary gland (23%) and thyroid cancer (19%), soft tissue sarcoma (14%), lung cancer (13%), colon cancer and melanoma (7% each), GIST (5%), and bone sarcoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and appendiceal, breast, and pancreas cancer (≤2% each). TRK fusions involved NTRK1 (40%), NTRK2 (2%), and NTRK3 (57%). 77% of pts had received prior systemic therapy (median lines: 2, range 0–10). In 74 pts evaluable per INV, the ORR was 76% with 9% CR, 57% confirmed PR, 9% PR pending confirmation, 12% SD, 11% PD, and 1% not determined; 9 pts were non-evaluable (NE) due to lack of post-baseline assessment. In 65 pts evaluable per IRC, the ORR was 68% with 17% CR, 51% PR, 15% SD, 12% PD, and 5% NE. With a median follow up of 17.2 and 17.5 mo per INV and IRC, respectively, the median duration of response had not been reached (ranges identical: 1.9+ to 38.7+ months). At data cutoff, 63% remained on treatment; 30% had discontinued due to disease progression. Adverse events were mostly grade 1–2. Conclusions: Larotrectinib demonstrated robust tumor-agnostic efficacy and a favorable safety profile in adult pts with TRK fusion cancer. These results support testing for TRK fusion cancer in pts with advanced solid tumors, regardless of site of primary diagnosis. Clinical trial information: NCT02122913 and NCT02576431.
