| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated NTRK1 fusion about 268 Japanese lung cancer patients. However, we were unable to confirm the presence of NTRK fusions in this cohort.
We also investigated the drug sensitive of NTRK inhibitor AZD7451 to cell lines with NTRK1 fusion or NTRK2 expression. As a result,The cell proliferation of the cell lines with NTRK1 fussion or NTRK2 expression was inhibited. Furthermore, we confirmed that the signals concerned in cell proliferation were inhibited , when these cell lines were treated by AZD7451. Therefore, targeted therapy with NTRK inhibitor AZD7451 may be of value in the treatment of lung cancer.
