NTRK kinase domain mutations in cancer variably impact sensitivity to type I and type II inhibitors

Romel Somwar et al. find that cancer-causing NTRK gene fusions resistant to one form of inhibitor therapy can be resistant to other inhibitor types. Using molecular simulations, they show that some NTRK1 mutations resistant to the type I inhibitor larotrectinib are hypersensitive to the type II inhi...
