NTRK fusion-positive tumors are known to be highly sensitive to TRK inhibitors, such as larotrectinib and entrectinib. Therefore, identification of patients who can potentially benefit from these inhibitors is important; however, the frequency of NTRK fusions in Japanese patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) is unknown. We performed pan-TRK staining using TMA-based immunohistochemistry (IHC) on samples from 971 consecutive Japanese CRC cases from a single institution. Positive cases were further analyzed using NanoString and subsequent targeted RNA sequencing. We found three positive cases using TRK-IHC. Furthermore, the Nanostring assay supported the presence of NTRK fusion in these cases. Subsequent targeted RNA-sequencing and RT-PCR revealed two cases with TPM3-NTRK1 and one with TPR-NTRK1. The TNM stages of these cases were stage I, stage IIA, and stage IIIB, and two showed microsatellite instability-high status. Next-generation sequencing analysis using Cancer hotspot panel revealed TP53 and SMAD4 mutations in separate cases. IHC of β-catenin did not show nuclear accumulation. We found three cases (0.31%) of CRC with NTRK1 fusion among 971 consecutive Japanese CRC cases. No potential driver alterations other than NTRK fusion were identified in these three patients.
