Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Larotrectinib (Vitrakvi, BAY2757556)

Experimental: Phase 1 dose escalation - Patients will receive the different levels of dose on Day 1 (BID in accordance with the cohort assignment). Each cycle will consist of 28 days of continuous dosing.
Individual patients will continue daily larotrectinib dosing until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation. (arm closed)

Experimental: Phase 1 dose expansion - Patients who are enrolled in the expansion cohort, following the formal dose escalation phase of the study.
Distinct from the Phase 1 dose escalation cohort, the Phase 1 expansion cohort will enroll pediatric patients with advanced solid or primary CNS tumors with a documented NTRK gene fusion, or in the case of IFS, CMN or SBC with documented ETV6 rearrangement by FISH or RT-PCR or a documented NTRK fusion by NGS.
This expansion cohort will follow the same schedule of assessments as the dose escalation cohorts. (arm closed)

Experimental: Phase 2: Patients with tumors bearing NTRK fusions (IFS)_Cohort 1 - Patients will receive larotrectinib dose on Day 1 (BID in accordance with the cohort assignment) at the recommended Phase 2 dose as determined in the Phase 1 portion of this study. Each cycle will consist of 28 days of continuous dosing.
Individual patients will continue daily larotrectinib dosing until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation. (arm closed)

Experimental: Phase 2: Other extra-cranial solid tumors_Cohort 2 - Patients will receive larotrectinib dose on Day 1 (BID in accordance with the cohort assignment) at the recommended Phase 2 dose as determined in the Phase 1 portion of this study. Each cycle will consist of 28 days of continuous dosing.
Individual patients will continue daily larotrectinib dosing until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation. (arm closed)

Experimental: Phase 2: Primary CNS tumors_Cohort 3 - Patients will receive larotrectinib dose on Day 1 (BID in accordance with the cohort assignment) at the recommended Phase 2 dose as determined in the Phase 1 portion of this study. Each cycle will consist of 28 days of continuous dosing.
Individual patients will continue daily larotrectinib dosing until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation.

Experimental: Phase 2: Bone health assessment_sub-cohort - Patients will receive larotrectinib dose on Day 1 (BID in accordance with the cohort assignment) at the recommended Phase 2 dose as determined in the Phase 1 portion of this study. Each cycle will consist of 28 days of continuous dosing.
Individual patients will continue daily larotrectinib dosing until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or other reason for treatment discontinuation.
Patients in this group will undergo bone health assessments in addition to all other efficacy and safety assessments.


Treatment: Drugs: Larotrectinib (Vitrakvi, BAY2757556)

Summary
Brief summary
The study is being done to test the safety of a cancer drug called larotrectinib in children.
The cancer must have a change in a particular gene (NTRK1, NTRK2 or NTRK3). Larotrectinib
blocks the actions of these NTRK genes in cancer cells and can therefore be used to treat
cancer.

The first study part (Phase 1) is done to determine what dose level of larotrectinib is safe
for children, how the drug is absorbed and changed by their bodies and how well the cancer
responds to the drug. The main purpose of the second study part (Phase 2) is to investigate
how well and how long different cancer types respond to the treatment with larotrectininb.
