Abstract
- 3614 Background: NTRK gene fusions occur in diverse tumor types in adults and children. The selective TRK inhibitor, larotrectinib, has shown high response rates, durable disease control, and a favorable safety profile in patients (pts) with TRK fusion cancer. We report an expanded quality of life (QoL) analysis for pts treated with larotrectinib. Methods: QoL data were collected in two trials of larotrectinib in pts with TRK fusion cancer using EORTC QLQ-C30 (adults) and PedsQL (children) questionnaires, and were analyzed descriptively and longitudinally. EORTC QLQ-C30 global health scores (GHS) and PedsQL total scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better QoL. We calculated the proportion of pts with normal/above and below normal QoL scores compared to values in the literature for the US general population. Results: By July 2019, 126 pts with TRK fusion cancer (74 adults, 24 children ≥2 yrs, and 28 infants
