Bayer, like many biopharma companies, is presenting study results at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual meeting being held online June 4-8, 2021.

In particular, Bayer is presenting four abstracts related to its Vitrakvi (larotrectinib) across TRK fusion cancer patients of all ages, ranging from 0.1 to 84 years, and for multiple tumor types. Vitrakvi is a first-in-class TRK inhibitor for TRK and presenters are supporting the drug’s effectiveness in a range of cancers with TRK gene fusions regardless of tissue type or patient age.
