Brief Summary:
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well larotrectinib works in treating patients with previously untreated TRK fusion solid tumors and TRK fusion acute leukemia that has come back. Larotrectinib may stop the growth of cancer cells with TRK fusions by blocking the TRK enzymes needed for cell growth.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response rate (ORR) of children with infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders, and confidence intervals will be constructed accounting for the two-stage design.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event-free survival (EFS) of children with IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be computed one year after the last enrollment in a stratum.

  2. Overall survival (OS) of children with IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be computed one year after the last enrollment in a stratum.

  3. Duration of response (DoR) of children with IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: From first observation of either partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) until either the first observation of progressive disease (PD) (event) or last known observation of the patient (censored observation), assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be computed one year after the last enrollment in a stratum. Will be defined among patients with a confirmed best response of either PR and CR.

  4. ORR of children with newly diagnosed TRK fusion solid tumors other than IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Response rates will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients who are responders, and confidence intervals will be constructed accounting for the two-stage design.

  5. EFS of children with newly diagnosed TRK fusion solid tumors other than IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be computed one year after the last enrollment in a stratum.

  6. OS of children with newly diagnosed TRK fusion solid tumors other than IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be computed one year after the last enrollment in a stratum.

  7. DoR of children with newly diagnosed TRK fusion solid tumors other than IFS treated with neoadjuvant larotrectinib prior to local control [ Time Frame: From first observation of either partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) until either the first observation of progressive disease (PD) (event) or last known observation of the patient (censored observation), assessed up to 5 years ]
    Will be computed one year after the last enrollment in a stratum. Will be defined among patients with a confirmed best response of either PR and CR.

  8. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. Toxicity tables will be constructed to summarize the observed incidence by type of toxicity and grade. A patient will be counted only once for a given toxicity for the worst grade of that toxicity reported for that patient. Toxicity information recorded will include the type, severity, time of onset, time of resolution, and the attribution(s) to the study regimen.

  9. Percentage of patients with TRK fusion solid tumors with detectable circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 5 years ]
    The percentage of ctDNA and frequency with which patients have detectable ctDNA prior to the start of therapy and at times during therapy when subsequent serial samples are obtained will be summarized with simple summary statistics, including means, medians, ranges, and standard deviations (if numbers and distribution permit). In cases of treatment resistance, we will also perform exploratory deep sequencing of ctDNA to determine whether this method can detect the emergence of resistance mutations.

  • COHORT A: Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of infantile fibrosarcoma with an NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 fusion identified in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act/College of American Pathologists (CLIA/CAP) certified laboratory. Fusions may be identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or molecular techniques (reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction [RT-PCR] using primers flanking the fusion junction or next generation sequencing). For fusions identified by FISH, an ETV6 rearrangement is sufficient for eligibility in Cohort A. Identification of the upstream TRK fusion partner is not required.
  • COHORT B: Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of any solid tumor other than infantile fibrosarcoma, including central nervous system (CNS) tumors but excluding high grade gliomas. An NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 fusion must be identified in a CLIA/CAP certified laboratory. Fusions may be identified by FISH or molecular techniques (RT-PCR using primers flanking the fusion junction or next generation sequencing). For fusions identified by FISH, there must be an identified rearrangement in NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 (e.g., an ETV6 rearrangement is not sufficient for eligibility) unless the patient has a diagnosis of congenital mesoblastic nephroma in which case an ETV6 rearrangement is sufficient for eligibility. Identification of the upstream TRK fusion partner is not required.
  • COHORT C: Patients must have a histologic diagnosis of relapsed or refractory acute leukemia with an NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 fusion identified in a CLIA/CAP certified laboratory. Fusions may be identified by FISH or molecular techniques (RT-PCR using primers flanking the fusion junction or next generation sequencing). For fusions identified by FISH, there must be an identified rearrangement in NTRK1, NTRK2, or NTRK3 (e.g., an ETV6 rearrangement is not sufficient for eligibility). Identification of the upstream TRK fusion partner is not required.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies, OR because there is yet no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities.
