Abstract
CADTH recommends that Vitrakvi be reimbursed by public drug plans for treating adult and pediatric patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumours who have a neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion without a known acquired resistance mutation, or where surgical resection is likely to result in severe morbidity and have no satisfactory treatment options, but only if certain conditions are met. Vitrakvi should only be covered to treat patients with advanced solid tumours who have an NTRK gene fusion, who have previously failed on all standard treatments for their current tumour site, and who will be able to tolerate the treatment. Vitrakvi should only be reimbursed as single-agent therapy if it is prescribed by a clinician with expertise in the use of antineoplastic drugs and if the cost of Vitrakvi is reduced.
