Solid tumors harboring NTRK fusion

A study to test the safety of the investigational drug larotrectinib in adults that may treat cancer

Trial purpose

This research study is done to test the safety of the drug larotrectinib in adult cancer patients. The drug may be used to treat cancer with a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3), because it blocks the action of these genes in cancer cells. The study also investigates how the drug is absorbed and processed in the human body. This is the first study to test larotrectinib in humans with cancer, for whom no other effective therapy exists.
