Cholangiocarcinoma is the second most common liver cancer after hepatocellular carcinoma. In case of metastatic or unresectable disease, the recommended first-line treatment is gemcitabine-based doublet, most commonly gemcitabine and cisplatin. There is no standard treatment for further lines. MET fusions are rare alterations described in many cancers. The efficacy of specific MET inhibitors is poorly studied. We present the case of a patient with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic cholangiocarcinoma harboring a CAPZA-2-MET fusion along with MET amplification who dramatically responded to capmatinib, a specific MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
