Massive tumor study counts rare gene fusions
NCT ID NCT04010240
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study examined tumor samples from 3820 people with advanced solid tumors to find how many have NTRK gene fusions. Researchers used genetic testing to identify these rare changes. The study did not test any treatment, but aims to guide future targeted therapy decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help identify which patients might benefit from targeted NTRK inhibitor therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study only—it does not test any treatment. Results may not change how patients are treated.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 1 month. * Subject has/had a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of solid tumor including but not exclusively: soft tissue sarcoma, BRAF wild type melanoma, KRAS wild-type colorectal cancer, central nervous system, EGFR-wild type non-small cell lung cancer. * Subject has locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic disease. * Subject has received at least one systemic anti-cancer therapy for locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic disease for which there is available outcome information in terms of PFS, or the latter can be estimated based on the subject's records. * Subject has tumor material available for immunoscreening (IHC for NTRK gene fusions). * Written and voluntary informed consent understood, signed and dated, or a waiver of consent is granted according to French régulations. Exclusion Criteria: • Subjects who have not yet received or completed at least one systemic anti-cancer therapy for locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic cancer.
