Novel Therapeutic Approaches to Target FGFR Mutations in Solid Tumors

Mitesh J. Borad, MD, discusses the unique mechanism of action of next-generation FGFR inhibitors like KIN-3248 and their potential effect on patient outcomes in cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial cancer.

Mitesh J. Borad, MD, explains how FGFR alterations influence treatment strategies in cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial cancer, discusses the FGFR resistance mechanisms that are prompting further research in this area, and highlights the rationale for the KN-4802 trial.

Sameek Roychowdhury, MD, PhD, discusses the rationale for targeting FGFR mutations in cholangiocarcinoma and urothelial carcinoma, the potential efficacy of irreversible pan-FGFR inhibitors in these populations, and how continued research in this area may yield more personalized therapeutic approaches for patients with FGFR mutations.

Benjamin Miron, MD, discusses mechanisms of resistance to FGFR inhibitors in cholangiocarcinoma.

Early sensitivity to FGFR inhibition has improved outcomes for patients across tumor histologies; however, kinase domain mutations limit extended efficacy for select patients including those with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or urothelial cancer.

Sameek Roychowdhury, MD, PhD, discusses the prevalence of FGFR mutations in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
