Efficacy and safety of larotrectinib as first-line treatment for adult patients with TRK fusion cancer (Villa Ciani) - Apr 3, 2025 - Abstract #SarcomaRC2025SARCOMA_RC_260; P1, P1/2, Conclusions Laro demonstrates rapid and durable responses, extended survival and a favourable safety profile in adult pts without prior systemic therapy. This supports the use of laro in a first-line setting and the wider adoption of NGS panels that include NTRK gene fusions to identify adult pts who may benefit from targeted treatment.

Review, Journal: Treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with RET rearrangements. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 2, 2025 Selpercatinib has shown superiority over chemotherapy in a phase 3 study (LIBRETTO-431) in previously untreated patients with RET fusion-positive NSCLC, which established its place as the standard of care in this patient population. This review discusses the biology and clinical characteristics of RET-rearranged NSCLC and summarizes the evolution of treatment strategies, current understanding of mechanisms of resistance, and development of new-generation agents to overcome resistance.

First-generation inhibitors, such as crizotinib and entrectinib, have demonstrated impressive efficacy, with objective response rates exceeding 60%-70%...Next-generation TKIs, including lorlatinib, taletrectinib, and repotrectinib, have been developed to overcome these challenges...Zidesamtinib, a highly selective next-generation ROS1 inhibitor, further addresses TRK-mediated off-target neurological toxicities seen with prior agents, and is poised to offer improved tolerability...In addition, the development of novel diagnostic tools, including RNA-based next-generation sequencing, has enhanced the detection of functional ROS1 fusions by ensuring that patients with actionable mutations receive appropriate targeted therapies. These advances highlight the evolving landscape of treatment for ROS1-positive NSCLC, with the aim of maximizing long-term survival and quality of life.
