Multiple FGFR inhibitors have demonstrated significant activity in pretreated advanced fusion-positive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The irreversible pan-FGFR inhibitor futibatinib has the potential to overcome acquired resistance to ATP-competitive FGFR inhibitors in a subset of patients. We present a case of prolonged clinical benefit using FGFR inhibitors sequentially, initially an ATP-competitive inhibitor followed by futibatinib upon progression, for a total of 36 months of FGFR-targeting therapy.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alan R MacDonald"

  • - Recent research by Alan R MacDonald highlights the efficacy of futibatinib, an irreversible pan-FGFR inhibitor, in overcoming resistance in patients with fusion-positive intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have previously been treated with ATP-competitive FGFR inhibitors
  • - The case study presented illustrates a prolonged clinical benefit of 36 months through sequential FGFR-targeting therapy, emphasizing the potential for innovative treatment strategies in advanced cancer cases
  • - The findings suggest that careful selection and sequencing of targeted therapies can significantly improve patient outcomes in complex malignancies like intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
