Description
Four out of six patients with infantile fibrosarcoma and a NTRK3-ETV6 fusion had a partial response, the remaining two had a complete response with larotrectinib. Treatment was done within a multicentre, open-label, phase 1/2 study and enrolled infants, children, and adolescents aged 1 month to 21 years with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours or CNS tumours that had relapsed, progressed, or were non-responsive to available therapies regardless of TRK fusion Status. In total, 24 patients (n=17 with tumours harbouring TRK fusions, n=7 without a documented TRK fusion) were enrolled. Among the fusion-positive patients, eight (47%) had infantile fibrosarcoma, seven (41%) had other soft tissue sarcomas, and two (12%) had papillary thyroid cancer. 14 (93%) of 15 patients with TRK fusion-positive cancers achieved an objective response; the remaining patient had tumour regression that did not meet the criteria for objective response. None of the seven patients with TRK fusion-negative cancers had an objective response.
