1. WHAT IS THIS MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
Vitrakvi is a monotherapy intended to treat solid tumours
displaying NTRK (neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase) gene
fusion in adults and children.
Vitrakvi is administered when
- these tumours are locally advanced or have spread to other
parts of the body or if a surgery to remove the tumour is likely
to cause severe complications, and IN ADDITION
- there are no satisfactory treatment options.
Before you receive Vitrakvi, your doctor will perform a test to
check if you carry the change in the NTRK gene.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Anti-neoplastic and immunomodulatory agents, anti-neoplastic
agents, protein kinase inhibitors
HOW VITRAKVI WORKS
In patients whose cancer is due to an altered NTRK gene, the
change in the gene causes the body to make an abnormal
protein called TRK fusion protein, which can lead to uncontrolled
cell growth and cancer. Vitrakvi blocks the activity of TRK fusion
proteins and so may slow or stop the growth of the cancerous
tumour. It may also help to shrink the cancerous tumour.
If you have any questions on how Vitrakvi works or why it has
been prescribed for you, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse.
