A Retro-/Prospective, Non-interventional, Cohort Study in Adult Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Tumors With a Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) Gene Fusion, Treated With Larotrectinib

Larotrectinib, a selective TRK inhibitor has showed marked and durable antitumor activity in patients with NTRK gene-fusion-positive tumors regardless of the tumor type, gene partner and patient's age. Because of this and the lack of alternative therapy in this rare but severe disease, the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) granted in April 2019, a "cohort" Temporary Authorization for Use (ATU) in the indication:"Larotrectinib is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult and paediatric patients from one month, with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours with a Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) fusion, refractory to standard treatments or in the absence of appropriate therapeutic alternative." Despite the potential benefit of identifying these fusions, the clinicopathologic features of NTRK fusion-positive tumors which are treated with Larotrectinib, are not well characterized. This study will provide information about the diagnosis and management of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NTRK fusion cancer treated with Larotrectinib under real-world treatment conditions in France, and describes the dosing patterns, safety and effectiveness of this agent.

About this study

Tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRK) are a family of tyrosine kinases that bind neurotrophins, a family of growth factors important to the formation and function of the nervous system. In cancer, the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK)1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes, which encode for the TRKA, TRKB and TRKC proteins, respectively, are subject to gene-arrangements that lead to kinase domain expression and constitutive downstream pathway activation. In preclinical models, NTRK gene fusions have transformative oncogenic potential, and they appear to be widely distributed across histologically diverse adult and pediatric cancers. Hence, these genetic abnormalities, observed in both children and adults, have recently emerged as targets for cancer therapy.

Larotrectinib, a selective TRK inhibitor has showed marked and durable antitumor activity in patients with NTRK gene-fusion-positive tumors regardless of the tumor type, gene partner and patient's age.

Because of this and the lack of alternative therapy in this rare but severe disease, the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) granted in April 2019, a "cohort" Temporary Authorization for Use (ATU) in the indication:

"Larotrectinib is indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of adult and paediatric patients from one month, with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours with a Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) fusion, refractory to standard treatments or in the absence of appropriate therapeutic alternative." Despite the potential benefit of identifying these fusions, the clinicopathologic features of NTRK fusion-positive tumors which are treated with Larotrectinib, are not well characterized.

This study will provide information about the diagnosis and management of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NTRK fusion cancer treated with Larotrectinib under real-world treatment conditions in France, and describes the dosing patterns, safety and effectiveness of this agent.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical activity of larotrectinib

    Time frame: From the date of the first larotrectinib dose until the date of objectively documented progression or date of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

    Best objective response rate (BORR) (Complete Response or Partial Response according to RECIST V1.1 classification i.e assessed by investigators)

  2. Clinical activity of larotrectinib

    Time frame: From the start of Complete Response or Partial Response (whichever response came first) until the date of observed disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months.

    Duration of response (DOR) (Best overall response of Complete Response or Partial Response according to RECIST V1.1 classification i.e assessed by investigators)

  3. Clinical activity of larotrectinib

    Time frame: From the start of larotrectinib treatment until the first evidence of Objective Response according to RECIST V1.1 classification i.e assessed by investigators), assessed up to 60 months. Time to response will be calculated for responders only.

    Time to response (TTR)

  4. Clinical activity of larotrectinib

    Time frame: From the start of Larotrectinib treatment until the date of first observed disease progression (radiological or clinical, whichever came first) or death due to any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months

    Progression-free survival (PFS)

  5. Clinical activity of larotrectinib

    Time frame: From the start of larotrectinib treatment until the date of death, due to any reason, assessed up to 60 months. Patients alive or lost to follow-up at the time of analysis will be censored at their last date of follow-up.

    Overall survival (OS)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinicopathological features of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NTRK fusion cancer for whom a decision to treat with larotrectinib was made before enrolment.

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 60 months.

    Demographics data, significant or relevant medical history, cancer disease overview

  2. Diagnosis strategy for detection of NTRK fusions in the investigational centers

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 60 months.

    Description of the diagnosis tests used for NTRK fusions

  3. Treatment(s) received prior to and after larotrectinib.

    Time frame: From the first dose of larotrectinib until the day of permanent discontinuation of larotrectinib (including death), assessed up to 60 months .

    Doses, duration, best tumor response and reasons for discontinuation

  4. Patterns of larotrectinib treatment

    Time frame: From the start of larotrectinib treatment until the day of permanent discontinuation of larotrectinib (including death), assessed up to 60 months

    Dosing paramaters

  5. Safety of larotrectinib

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 60 months.

    Adverse events : Nature, frequency and severity of Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) V5.0.

  6. Molecular characteristics of NTRK rearrangements

    Time frame: Through study completion, an average of 60 months.
