Despite robust clinical response to targeted NTRK inhibition, the emergence of therapeutic resistance poses a formidable clinical challenge. Here we report the characterization of an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion-driven pediatric glioma that progressed through NTRK-targeted treatments with entrectinib and selitrectinib. Genetic analysis of multifocal recurrent/resistant lesions identified a previously uncharacterized NTRK3 p.G623A and a known p.G623E resistance mutation, in addition to other alterations of potential pathogenic impact. Functional studies using heterologous reconstitution model systems and patient-derived tumor cell lines establish that NTRK3^G623A and NTRK3^G623E mutated kinases exhibit reduced sensitivity to entrectinib and selitrectinib, as well as other NTRK inhibitors tested herein. In summary, this genetic analysis of multifocal recurrent/resistant glioma driven by ETV6-NTRK3 fusion captured a cross section of resistance-associated alterations that, based on in vitro analysis, likely contributed to resistance to targeted therapy and disease progression.
