Title:
Brief Report: Potent clinical and radiological response to larotrectinib in TRK fusion-driven high-grade glioma
Excerpt:
Here we report the first case of a TRK fusion-driven HGG treated with larotrectinib—the first selective pan-TRK inhibitor in clinical development. This 3-year-old girl had failed multiple therapies including chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Tumour profiling confirmed an ETV6–NTRK3 fusion. Treatment with larotrectinib led to rapid clinical improvement with near total resolution of primary and metastatic lesions on MRI imaging
