About this trial
This phase II trial studies the effect of larotrectinib in treating patients with NTRK gene amplification positive solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or other places in the body (metastatic). Larotrectinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
At least 16 years of age
Locally-advanced or metastatic malignancy with an NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 gene amplification identified through molecular assays (such as IHC and any next-generation sequencing [NGS] platform, reference lab NGS, or in house NGS platform) as routinely performed at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center or other similarly-certified laboratories. The minimum level of amplification is 7 copies. This rationale of amplification level is based on data from MOCLIA at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Must have received prior standard therapy appropriate for tumor type and stage of disease, or, in the opinion of the investigator, is unlikely to tolerate or derive clinically meaningful benefit from appropriate standard of care therapy
Must have received prior treatment including radiation and/or chemotherapy, with radiation completed > 12 weeks prior to cycle 1 day 1 (C1D1) of therapy, as recommended or appropriate for the tumor type
Disqualifiers
Investigational agent or anticancer therapy within 2 weeks prior to the planned start of larotrectinib or five half-lives, whichever is shorter, and without clinically significant toxicities from that therapy
Prior progression while receiving approved or investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting TRK. However, subjects who received less than 28 days of such treatment and discontinued because of intolerance or toxicity are eligible
Symptomatic or unstable brain metastases that needs corticosteroid usage. Subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases or primary CNS tumors are eligible
Uncontrolled concurrent malignancy that would limit assessment of efficacy. Allowed diseases may include, but are not limited to in situ cancers of cervix, breast, or skin, superficial bladder cancer, limited-stage prostate cancer, and basal or squamous cancers of the skin
