Genomic correlates of response and resistance to the irreversible FGFR1-4 inhibitor futibatinib based on biopsy and circulating tumor DNA profiling.

Background: Futibatinib is the only covalent inhibitor of FGFR1-4 to gain regulatory approval in oncology. Here, we present genomic analyses of tissue biopsies and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from patients with one of nearly 20 tumor types treated with futibatinib in the phase I/II FOENIX study.

Patients And Methods: Eligible patients included those with ctDNA samples collected per protocol at baseline and/or progression on futibatinib in the phase Ib portion of the study for FGF/FGFR-altered advanced solid tumors or the phase II portion of the study for FGFR2 fusion/rearrangement-positive cholangiocarcinoma.

Plain language summary: an analysis of the safety of futibatinib treatment in people with different types of cancer.

What Is This Summary About?: Researchers combined information from three separate phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, including over 400 people who had one of 33 different cancer types and who all received futibatinib in their clinical trial. This type of study is called a pooled analysis. Futibatinib is taken orally (by mouth) as a tablet and works by reducing the activity of a group of proteins called fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs).

A phase I drug-drug interaction study to assess the effect of futibatinib on P-gp and BCRP substrates and of P-gp inhibition on the pharmacokinetics of futibatinib.

Futibatinib, an inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1-4, is approved for the treatment of patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma with FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements. In this phase I drug-drug interaction study, the effects of futibatinib on P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrates, and of P-gp inhibition on futibatinib pharmacokinetics (PK) were investigated in healthy adults aged 18-55 years. In part 1, 20 participants received digoxin (P-gp substrate) and rosuvastatin (BCRP substrate).

Plain language summary of the FOENIX-CCA2 study: futibatinib for people with advanced bile duct cancer.

What Is This Summary About?: This summary describes the results from a phase 2 study called FOENIXCCA2. The study evaluated treatment with futibatinib in people with a rare form of advanced bile duct cancer called intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (or iCCA), where the tumors have changes in the structure of a gene called FGFR2. These changes include FGFR2 gene fusions.

Safety Profile and Adverse Event Management for Futibatinib, An Irreversible FGFR1-4 Inhibitor: Pooled Safety Analysis of 469 Patients.

Purpose: Futibatinib, a covalently-binding inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)1-4 gained approval for the treatment of refractory, advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) harboring an FGFR2 fusion/other rearrangement. An integrated analysis was performed to evaluate safety and provide guidance on the management of futibatinib-associated adverse events (AEs) in patients with unresectable/metastatic tumors, including iCCA.

Patients And Methods: Data from three global phase I or II studies of futibatinib (NCT02052778; JapicCTI-142552) were pooled.
