Frequently asked questions about BAY2757556

What is BAY2757556 used for?

BAY2757556 is used to treat solid tumors that harbor an NTRK fusion, a genetic alteration that drives tumor growth. It is being studied in adults and children with these fusion-positive tumors across a broad range of cancer types, rather than a single organ-specific cancer.

Is BAY2757556 the same as larotrectinib or Vitrakvi?

Yes. BAY2757556 is the same compound as larotrectinib, which is also known by the brand name Vitrakvi. The names refer to the same small molecule, so search results and trial records for larotrectinib or Vitrakvi describe the same drug asset.

Who makes BAY2757556?

Bayer AG develops BAY2757556. Bayer trades on the OTC market under the ticker BAYRY. The company is the sponsor behind the clinical program evaluating the drug in NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors.

What phase is BAY2757556 in?

BAY2757556 has been evaluated in a Phase 2 clinical trial. That study, NCT02576431, is listed as completed and enrolled 215 participants. The program is biomarker-selected, meaning patients are chosen based on the presence of an NTRK fusion in their tumor.

What clinical trial is BAY2757556 in?

BAY2757556 was studied in NCT02576431, titled A Study to Test the Effect of the Drug Larotrectinib in Adults and Children With NTRK-fusion Positive Solid Tumors. The Phase 2 trial is completed, enrolled 215 patients, used a controlled design without randomization or double blinding, and ran across 25 countries.
