A Study Called VICTORIA to Learn More About How Well Larotrectinib Works in Adults With TRK Fusion-positive Cancer by Comparing Larotrectinib Data From Clinical Studies With Data of Other Treatments From Actual Practice
Description

This is an observational study in which patient data from the past of adult people with solid tumors harboring NTRK gene fusion are studied. This study will focus on 5 tumor types which have been at the late stage or have spread to other parts of the body. These 5 tumor types are: * Non-small-cell-lung cancer * Colorectal cancer (located in the intestine) * Thyroid cancer * Sarcomas (located in the connective tissue like bones or body fat) * Salivary gland carcinoma In some people with cancer, the cancer cells have specific changes in their building plans (genes) called NTRK gene fusion. NTRK stands for neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase, the specific gene that is changed. Due to this change in the gene, an altered protein known as a TRK fusion protein is made, which can cause cancer cells to grow and survive. While NTRK is the gene, TRK (tropomyosin receptor kinase) is the name of the protein. The specific cancer is therefore also called TRK fusion-positive cancer. The study drug, larotrectinib works by blocking the altered TRK fusion protein. Larotrectinib is already available in the US, Europe, and in other countries and is approved for doctors to prescribe to patients with TRK fusion cancer. The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how well larotrectinib works in adults with TRK fusion-positive cancer compared to other treatments. Researchers will compare how long participants who received larotrectninib lived to how long participants who received other treatments lived. To do this, larotrectinib data from past clinical studies will be compared with data on other treatments gathered from different health data sources. The data will cover the time between January 2013 and end of August 2022. Besides this data collection, no further tests or examinations are planned and no visits are required in this study.

Study to Compare How the Body Absorbs, Distributes and Excretes the Drug Selitrectinib (BAY2731954) Given as Two Different Tablet Formulations or as Liquid Formulations Including the Effect of Food on the Absorption, Distribution or Excretion of the Different Formulations in Healthy Participants
Description

In this study, the researchers will compare 2 new tablet forms of BAY2731954 with liquid oral forms of BAY2731954. A maximum of 61 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 55 will be asked to participate. The study will have 2 parts. In part 1 researchers want to gather information how the body absorbs, distributes and excretes the drug BAY2731954 given as two different tablet formulations. Participants will take the study drugs on 3 days separated by breaks of at least 3 days between each intake. The duration of this study part will be in total of up to 6 weeks from first screening visit to follow-up visit. In part 2 of the study researchers want to study how the body absorbs, distributes and excretes the drug BAY2731954 given as two different tablet formulations with or without food or as 2 liquid oral formulations. Participants will take the study drugs on 4 days separated by breaks of at least 3 days between each intake. The duration of the second part of study part will be in total of up to 7 weeks from first screening visit to follow-up visit. During the study, researchers will collect blood and urine samples. In addition, doctors will check the participants' overall health. They will also ask the participants if they have any medical problems.

COMPLETED
A Study to Test the Safety of the Investigational Drug Selitrectinib in Children and Adults That May Treat Cancer
Description

This research study is done to test the safety of the new drug selitrectinib in children and adults with cancer having a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). The drug may treat cancer by interfering with the effect of the NTRK genes on cancer growth. The study also investigates how the drug is absorbed and processed in the human body, and how well and for how long the cancer responds to the drug. This is the first study to test selitrectinib in humans with cancer, for whom no other effective therapy exists.

A Study to Test the Safety and Efficacy of the Drug Larotrectinib for the Treatment of Tumors With NTRK-fusion in Children
Description

The study is being done to test the safety of a cancer drug called larotrectinib in children. The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). Larotrectinib blocks the actions of these NTRK genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat cancer. The first study part (Phase 1) is done to determine what dose level of larotrectinib is safe for children, how the drug is absorbed and changed by their bodies and how well the cancer responds to the drug. The main purpose of the second study part (Phase 2) is to investigate how well and how long different cancer types respond to the treatment with larotrectininb.

ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
A Study to Test the Effect of the Drug Larotrectinib in Adults and Children With NTRK-fusion Positive Solid Tumors
Description

This research study is done to test how well different types of cancer respond to the drug called larotrectinib. The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). Larotrectinib is a drug that blocks the actions of these NTRK genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat cancer.

COMPLETED
A Study to Test the Safety of the Investigational Drug Larotrectinib in Adults That May Treat Cancer
Description

This research study is done to test the safety of the drug larotrectinib in adult cancer patients. The drug may be used to treat cancer with a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3), because it blocks the action of these genes in cancer cells. The study also investigates how the drug is absorbed and processed in the human body. This is the first study to test larotrectinib in humans with cancer, for whom no other effective therapy exists.

RECRUITING
Study to Learn More About the Safety and Effectiveness of the Drug VITRAKVI During Routine Use in Patients With TRK Fusion Cancer Which is Locally Advanced or Spread From the Place Where it Started to Other Places in the Body
Description

In this observational study researcher want to learn more about the effectiveness of drug VITRAKVI (generic name: larotrectinib) and how well the drug is tolerated during routine use in patients with TRK fusion cancer which is locally advanced or spread from the place where it started to other places in the body. TRK fusion cancer is a term used to describe a variety of common and rare cancers that are caused by a change to the NTRK (Neurotrophic Tyrosine Kinase) gene called a fusion. During this fusion, an NTRK gene joins together, or fuses, with a different gene. This joining results in the activation of certain proteins (TRK fusion proteins), which can cause cancer cells to multiply and form a tumor. VITRAKVI is an approved drug that blocks the action of the NTRK gene fusion. This study will enroll adult and paediatric patients suffering from a solid tumor with NTRK gene fusion for whom the decision to treat their disease with VITRAKVI has been made by their treating physicians. During the study, patients' medical information such as treatment information with VITRAKVI, other medication or treatments, changes in disease status and other health signs and symptoms will be collected within the normal medical care by the treating doctor. Participants will be observed over a period from 24 to 60 months.
