What does it do?

Larotrectinib sulfate is a targeted anticancer agent that targets TRK proteins. This agent is used to inhibit the abnormally activated TRK proteins caused by specific genetic mutations in cancer cells, preventing the growth of cancer cells.

Larotrectinib sulfate blocks the action of abnormally activated TRK proteins in cancer cells. This disrupts the signaling that allows cancer cells to proliferate and survive, thereby slowing or halting the progression of cancer.
