Entrectinib in Asian patients with ROS1 fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer: updated efficacy and safety analysis. (PubMed, Lung Cancer)
This analysis demonstrates continued efficacy of entrectinib in Asian patients with advanced ROS1-fp NSCLC, both overall and in the 1L setting. No new safety signals emerged.

Identification of a novel PRUNE2::NTRK2 gene fusion in soft tissue sarcoma patients-friend or foe? Case series. (PubMed, Ther Adv Med Oncol)
Although NTRK-associated fusions are significant in various cancers and have led to the development of targeted therapies, such as larotrectinib and entrectinib, the specific molecular impact of atypical PRUNE2::NTRK2 fusion remains unclear. The PRUNE2::NTRK2 gene fusions described here express a non-functional TrkB protein, and it is unclear whether the PRUNE2 function is intact or affected.

Novel NOTCH2-NTRK1 fusion confers osimertinib resistance in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer by interacting with EGFR. (PubMed, Transl Oncol)
Our study reveals a novel mechanism by which the NOTCH2-NTRK1 fusion confers resistance to osimertinib through its interaction with EGFR in NSCLC.

Case Report: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with TFG-ROS1 fusion responds to crizotinib. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
Importantly, we identified ROS1 p.K1991N as a potential acquired drug resistance mutation to crizotinib, suggesting that entrectinib may serve as a targeted therapy to overcome this resistance mechanism. ROS1 rearrangement could potentially represent a novel driver mutation in MPM, especially in female adults. This case report illustrates the benefits of molecular detection in MPM and underscores the potential for lessons learned from other solid tumors to inform treatment strategies for rare diseases.

Fusion-Negative NTRK Overexpression Exhibit Biological Relevance in Colorectal Cancer: Implications for Prediction of Responses to Kinase Inhibitors. (PubMed, Pharmaceuticals (Basel))
The GSEA and DOEA showed that NTRK signalling was enriched for kinase inhibitors responses, representing evidence that NTRK1/2/3 expression may serve as biomarkers for multiple kinase inhibitors, including entrectinib-the tissue-agnostic kinase inhibitor for cancers with NTRK gene fusions. The results demonstrated that fusion-negative NTRK signalling may be active in CRC and may contribute to the molecular pathogenesis and biology of the disease. The results also demonstrated that the NTRK1/2/3 expression may be predictive multiple kinase inhibitors.

TPM3-NTRK1 fusion confers resistance to osimertinib in lung adenocarcinoma: a model in a continuous cell line. (PubMed, Hum Cell)
Drug sensitivity assays revealed an IC₅₀ of 64.0 nM for entrectinib and 806.8 nM for osimertinib, indicating reduced sensitivity to EGFR inhibition. We provided experimental evidence for that TPM3-NTRK1 fusions can mediate acquired resistance to osimertinib in a new lung adenocarcinoma cell line. LUNK1 represents a useful preclinical model for investigating resistance mechanisms and assessing dual-targeted treatment strategies.

Acquired MTAP Loss Following Entrectinib Resistance in ROS1-Rearranged NSCLC With CD74 Exon 3-ROS1 Exon 34 Fusion. (PubMed, Thorac Cancer)
This case highlights acquired MTAP loss during disease progression in ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. Despite persistent CD74-ROS1 fusion and absence of known resistance mutations, the patient developed CNS progression after entrectinib, underscoring the value of longitudinal genomic profiling in guiding treatment decisions.

Entrectinib binds to HMGB1 and activates cardiomyocyte autophagy by inhibiting OTUD5-MTORC1 signaling to induce cardiotoxicity. (PubMed, Autophagy)
Specifically, we found that tanshinone IIA could mitigate the cardiotoxic effects of entrectinib by reducing HMGB1 protein levels. Taken together, our findings elucidated the mechanism underlying entrectinib-induced cardiotoxicity, offering a theoretical foundation for the safer clinical application of this targeted therapy.
