New study tracks how well larotrectinib works in everyday cancer care
NCT ID NCT04142437
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study follows 150 adults and children with advanced TRK fusion cancers who are already taking the drug larotrectinib (Vitrakvi). Researchers will collect data from routine doctor visits over 2 to 5 years to see how effective the drug is and what side effects occur. The goal is to understand how the drug performs in real-world settings, outside of controlled clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- larotrectinib (Vitrakvi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm how well larotrectinib works in everyday practice for people with TRK fusion cancers, supporting its continued use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. It only includes people already prescribed the drug, which may introduce bias.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adult and pediatric (from birth to 18-year-old) patients * Patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumor harboring an NTRK gene fusion. NTRK (NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3) gene fusions will be identified locally. Acceptable methods of detection of NTRK gene fusion include NGS, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) or any other genomic testing able to detect NTRK gene fusion. If a pan-TRK IHC method is used, this result needs to be accompanied with the results using one of the other methods noted above. * Life expectancy of at least 3 months based on clinical judgement * Decision to treat with larotrectinib made by the treating physician prior to study enrollment * Patients can also be enrolled if the initial visit (larotrectinib start date) occurred within 2 months ±3 days prior to informed consent signed date * Signed informed consent form * For patients under legal age, signed assent by the patient (where applicable) and parental/legal guardian signed informed consent is required Exclusion Criteria: * Any contraindications as listed in the local approved product information * Pregnancy * Participation in an investigational program with interventions outside of routine clinical practice * Prior treatment with larotrectinib or other kinase inhibitor with TRK inhibition * Patients with NTRK gene amplification or NTRK point mutation
