Complete Response on Larotrectinib in NTRK2 Fusion-Positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring a fusion of the neurotrophic receptor kinase (NTRK) gene 1 or 3, treatment with tropomyosin kinase (TRK) inhibitors have shown promising results, however so far no data on efficacy of these agents in patients with NSCLC and NTRK2 fusion are available. We present a case of a female patient with NTRK2-positive NSCLC with a complete ongoing response on therapy with larotrectinib, suggesting efficacy of first-generation TRK inhibitors also in NTRK2-positive NSCLC.
