FISH could complement NGS detection, particularly when NTRK fusion is detected by DNA sequencing. NTRK fusion in GC may not be limited to specific subtypes.

Case Presentation and We report two cases with RAI-resistant lung metastases treated with larotrectinib: 83-year-old male presenting with an ETV6::NTRK3 fusion-positive tumor with the TERT promoter mutation c.-124C>T, and a 31-year-old female presenting with a TPR::NTRK1 fusion-positive tumor (and negative for TERT promoter mutation)...In contrast, the TERT-negative tumor exhibited successful I-131 reuptake with a TDS of -0.060. As observed for RAI-resistance associated with concurrent TERT and BRAF mutations, the co-occurrence of TERT mutations and NTRK fusions may also contribute to re-sensitization failure.

Moreover, so was the case with the concomitant expression of NTRK fusions and EGFR mutations. We present a case report of a patient with concomitant EGFR mutation and NTRK1 fusion.

NTRK-rearranged neoplasms may occur as enhancing masses with linear hypointense signal foci on MRI and FDG avid metastases on PET. Pulmonary metastases were frequent in our study. Initial treatment response is observed in most patients.

NTRK+ patients may have an increased risk of death compared with NTRK- patients. When using historic control data to assess the comparative effectiveness of TRK inhibitors, the prognostic value of the NTRK fusion biomarker should therefore be accounted for.

Drug synergy was seen using trametinib and rapamycin in combination with entrectinib.

We detected (de novo/somatic) missense mutation variants in cis position of the NTRK1 gene in a subset of DDLPS indicating modifying mutations that may contribute to tumorigenesis in a subset of DDLPS. These variants beget resistance to TRK inhibitors indicating an interesting biomarker for other studies with TRK inhibitors.

One patient was succumbed to the disease at 12 months despite adjunctive treatment with TRK inhibitor larotrectinib after surgery...The final diagnosis relies on molecular assays. Patients with advanced disease may benefit from TRK inhibitor treatment.

This study highlights the benefits of combining morphological and immunohistochemical analyses for gene detection and posits that lymph node metastases are more suitable for genetic analysis owing to their mild calcification. Our results emphasize the importance of accurate sample processing in diagnosing and treating thyroid carcinomas.

This review provides a succinct overview of the application of NTRK inhibitors in various types of cancer by emphasizing the critical clinical significance of NTRK fusion gene detection. The discussion also provides a solid foundation for understanding the current challenges and potential changes for improving the efficacy of NTRK inhibitor therapy to treat different malignancies.

Our analysis provides a broad molecular view of the NTRK family. The real-world adverse drug event analysis of entrectinib and larotrectinib contributes to more refined medication management.

The representative second-generation inhibitors selitrectinib and repotrectinib were designed to overcome clinic acquired resistance of the first-generation inhibitors larotrectinib or entrectinib resulted from solvent-front and gatekeeper on-target mutations. In this review, we summarize the acquired resistance mechanism of the first- and second-generation TRK inhibitors, and firstly put forward the emerging selective type II TRK inhibitors to overcome xDFG mutations mediated resistance. Additionally, we concluded our perspectives on new challenges and future directions in this field.

To our knowledge, this is the first reported cervical neoplasm exhibiting a SMARCB1 pathogenic variant and the first NTRK fusion sarcoma showing SMARCB1 protein loss. We discuss the diagnostic challenges and complexities of the molecular findings.

Repotrectinib in a patient with NTRK fusion-positive pancreatic carcinoma and congenital long QT syndrome.

In addition, preclinical investigation of repotrectinib in multiple myeloma is underway in the USA. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of repotrectinib leading to this first approval for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC.

This comparative study of the potential binding effects of fourth-generation inhibitors TPX-0131 and repotrectinib and third-generation inhibitor LOR for ALK F1174C/L/V mutations revealed the atomistic insights of the binding mechanism. These computational findings enable us to carry out further research for the clinical implementation of fourth-generation ALK inhibitors on ALK-positive NSCLC.

Our study indicates that NTRK fusion is rare in early-stage lung cancer. Due to the high level of false positive cases with IHC, Pan-TRK IHC is less suited as a screening tool for NTRK-fusions in LUSC and adenoid cystic carcinoma.

Repotrectinib had durable clinical activity in patients with ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC, regardless of whether they had previously received a ROS1 TKI. Adverse events were mainly of low grade and compatible with long-term administration. (Funded by Turning Point Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol Myers Squibb; TRIDENT-1 ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT03093116.).

To the best of our knowledge, we reported the first case demonstrating anti-tumor activity of repotrectinib in a patient with AC carring an ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion, indicating that repotrectinib may be an efficient therapeutic option for tumors with NTRK gene rearrangements.

Entrectinib has continued to demonstrate deep and durable systemic and IC responses in patients with NTRK-fp NSCLC.

The resulting fusion protein comprises the oligomerization domain of NUMA1, which is predicted to cause constant activation of the tyrosine kinase domain of NTRK1. The recognition and accurate diagnosis of these tumours are important due to the availability of potential targeted therapeutic options.

In 2017, first-generation TRK inhibitor (TRKi) larotrectinib was granted accelerated approval from the FDA, having demonstrated histologic-agnostic activity against NTRKs fusions tumors. Since this new era has begun, resistance to first-generation TRKi has been described and has opened the development of second-generation molecules, such as selitrectinib and repotrectinib. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the studies on NTRK alterations found in pediatric central nervous system tumors and first and second-generation TRKi useful in clinical practice.

Presently, larotrectinib and entrectinib are the only FDA-approved therapies for NTRK-mutated cancers...The treatment landscape for NTRK cancers is still being explored, with numerous new tyrosine kinase inhibitors currently in development or undergoing phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. In this review, we delve into both established and novel therapies targeting NTRK-mutated NSCLC.

The intake of high calorie food decreased the absorption rate and increased the T of VC004, while the AUC values were similar in both groups. No serious adverse event was reported. In conclusion, food does not alter the pharmacokinetics and safety profile of VC004 in a clinically meaningful manner.

Therefore, a group of oncologists and pathologists from several countries in Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay) met to discuss and reach consensus on how to identify patients with NTRK gene fusions in solid tumors. To do so, they developed a practical algorithm, considering their specific situation and limitations.
