      Background

      NTRK fusions have been recently identified as a therapeutic target in a rare fraction of Caucasian patients with lung cancer (3.3%). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of NTRK fusions in Chinese lung cancer populations, which had not been reported earlier, and to describe targeting potential in Chinese lung cancer populations.

      A multicenter study in China was initiated from February 2014, and lung cancer patients have been enrolled as of December 2017. Capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling was performed on 2719 lung cancer FFPE samples (non-squamous/squamous/small=2061/349/309) sequenced to a mean coverage depth of > 650X for up to 381 cancer-related genes. Genomic alterations (GA) included short variant (SV) base subs and insertions/deletions, copy number alterations, and rearrangements/fusions. Tumor mutational burden (TMB; mut/Mb) was calculated on up to 1.2 Mb of sequenced DNA.

      Of this entire cohort, just one (0.04%) patient was identified with a TPM3-NTRK1 fusion. The patient was diagnosed with SCLC. TPM3-NTRK1 fusion was found by biopsy using NGS, the genes co-altered with NTRK fusion was no concurrent with KRAS, EGFR, ALK, ROS1, or other known drivers were identified in the study cohort cases.

      NTRK fusions are a rare molecular subtype in Chinese lung cancer populations. Given clinical evidence for the activity of targeted therapy approaches, molecular eligibility for clinical trials of larotrectinib or entrectinib should include these fusion subtypes. The clinical evidence for responsiveness of NTRK fusions driven lung cancer provides an opportunity to personalize treatments and improve clinical outcomes for patients.
