Vitrakvi is a prescription medication used to treat adults and children with solid tumors caused by certain abnormal neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) genes. 

Vitrakvi belongs to a group of drugs called kinase inhibitors. These work by stopping the growth and survival of cancer by binding to specific receptor enzymes on the cancer cells and stopping the receptor signaling activity.

Vitrakvi is supplied as both a capsule and an oral solution. It is taken twice daily, with or without food. Do not chew, divide, or break Vitrakvi capsules. Swallow capsules whole.

Common side effects include severe nausea, vomiting, and cough. Vitrakvi can also cause severe tiredness (fatigue) and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Vitrakvi affects you.
