Active Ingredient Description
Larotrectinib

Larotrectinib is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive and selective tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitor. The TRK family of proteins, TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC, is encoded by NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes. Larotrectinib was rationally designed to avoid activity with off-target kinases. It is indicated for the treatment of adult and paediatric patients with solid tumours that display a Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase (NTRK) gene fusion.
