Larotrectinib is a special kind of medicine that’s good at stopping solid tumors with NTRK gene fusions. It mainly focuses on TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC. It’s used to stop tumors from growing.
It’s for treating cancers that can’t be removed or have spread, and it works for both adults and kids with NTRK-fusion-positive cancers. You can get it as 25mg or 100mg capsules, or as a 20mg/mL liquid you swallow. Grown-ups usually take 100mg twice a day, but for kids, it’s based on how much space they take up.
You’ll find these in bottles with 60 capsules inside.
