Bayer AG is conducting a Special Drug Use Investigation for Larotrectinib, aimed at understanding its real-world application in treating tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion cancer. This study, officially titled ‘Special Drug Use Investigation for Larotrectinib,’ seeks to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of larotrectinib in patients with advanced or recurrent TRK fusion cancer, a rare condition caused by specific gene changes. The significance of this study lies in its potential to enhance treatment strategies for this rare cancer.
The intervention being tested is larotrectinib, a drug designed to block TRK genes in cancer cells, thereby inhibiting cancer growth. It is already available for prescription and is being evaluated for its safety and effectiveness in this observational study.
The study is observational in nature, following a cohort model with a prospective time perspective. There is no allocation or masking involved, as the primary purpose is to gather data on the drug’s real-world application. Information will be collected from medical records, patient interviews, and routine doctor visits.
The study began on November 5, 2021, and is currently recruiting participants. The primary completion and estimated completion dates have not been specified, but the last update was submitted on July 31, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipated outcomes.
The market implications of this study are significant for Bayer AG, as positive results could enhance investor confidence and potentially boost stock performance. Larotrectinib’s success could also position Bayer favorably against competitors in the oncology sector, particularly in the niche market of TRK fusion cancer treatments.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
