Detailed Description
This retrospective study has a primary objective to estimate the incidence of NTRK gene fusion depending on the histological diagnosis. The tropomyosin receptor kinase (Trk) receptor family comprises 3 transmembrane proteins referred to as Trk A, B and C (TrkA, TrkB and TrkC) receptors that are encoded by the NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes, respectively. These receptor tyrosine kinases are expressed in human neuronal tissue and play an essential role in the physiology of development and function of the nervous system through activation by neurotrophins. Gene fusions involving NTRK genes lead to transcription of chimeric Trk proteins with constitutively activated or overexpressed kinase function conferring oncogenic potential. These genetic abnormalities have recently emerged as targets for cancer therapy, because novel compounds have been developed that are selective inhibitors of the constitutively active rearranged proteins. Developments in this field are being aided by next generation sequencing methods as tools for unbiased gene fusions discovery. However, the incidence of NTRK aberrations in solid tumors is unknown as well as the natural history of NTRK-rearranged tumors This study will provide better knowledge of NTRK gene fusion incidence to allow recommendations for pathological diagnosis.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Retrospective cohort For eligible subject, tumor material will be tested by immunohistochemistry (Pan-Trk ICH testing with mAb EPR17341). |
Other: Retrospective cohort
Tumor material tested positive will be analyzed by next-generation sequencing to identify NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3 gene fusions.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Frequency of NTRK fusions in subjects with locally advanced/unresectable or metastatic solid tumors. [Retrospective analysis between January 2019 and December 2020]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Treatment outcome in terms of objective response rate. [Retrospective analysis between January 2019 and December 2020]
ORR will be defined as the proportion of patients with objective response (complete or partial response) during the first-line anti-cancer therapy.
- Treatment outcome in terms of progression-free survival. [Retrospective analysis between January 2019 and December 2020]
PFS will be defined as the delay from the date of onset of first-line anti-cancer therapy to the date of progression.
- Treatment outcome in terms of objective response rate. [Retrospective analysis between January 2019 and December 2020]
OS will be defined as the delay from the date of start first-line anti-cancer therapy to the date of death (whatever the cause).
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
