Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (larotrectinib sulfate)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients receive larotrectinib sulfate PO or via NG- or G-tube BID on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo a CT scan, MRI, an x-ray, bone scan, and/or MIBG scintigraphy during screening and on study. Patients also undergo bone marrow aspiration and/or biopsy during screening and may undergo blood sample collection on study.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has the FDA sanctioned Larotrectinib for use in clinical settings?

"Larotrectinib's safety has been assessed as a 2, since it is currently in Phase 2 with limited evidence of efficacy but some data confirming its security."

Answered by AI

Who is eligible to take part in this investigation?

"This medical trial seeks 49 minors aged between 12 months and 21 years old with Wilms Tumor who have been assigned to the Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (MATCH) treatment via APEC1621SC. Eligibility also hinges on a Karnofsky score of 50 or higher in patients over 16, while those under 16 require a Lansky score of at least that much. Moreover, individuals must be recovered from prior therapies' toxic side effects; if they meet all other criteria after the required time frame has elapsed, they are considered ready to enroll."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I am 60 and was diagnosed in 2017. Devastated I reached out to cancer Dr nothing he could do didn’t really know what it was. Thus no one around here knows how to treat. Frustrated. It’s totally fully active now I want to find HELP AND WOULD LOVE THIS STUDY.
