Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are poor prognosis malignancies usually classified in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA), extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, gallbladder cancer, and ampulla of Vater cancer. In the last few years, novel treatment targets have been identified in iCCA patients, including fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) aberrations; thus, several FGFR inhibitors are currently being developed, some of which have already suggested interesting efficacy and adequate safety in phase I and phase II trials regarding refractory iCCA.
AREAS COVERED: This review provides an overview regarding the current scenario of FGFR2 targeted therapies in iCCA, especially focusing on the mechanism of action and clinical development of futibatinib (TAS-120), a highly selective irreversible pan-FGFR antagonist. According to the interim analysis of the FOENIX-CCA2 trial, whose results have been presented at the 2020 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, futibatinib could lead to meaningful benefit in patients affected by previously treated iCCA with FGFR2 gene fusions or other rearrangements.
EXPERT OPINION: Because of its promising and durable activity, futibatinib has the potential to become a novel therapeutic option in the treatment of iCCAs harboring FGFR2 aberrations. Further studies are warranted to confirm the efficacy of this investigational molecule.
