Pemigatinib in previously treated Chinese patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma carrying FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements: A phase II study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study evaluated the antitumor activity and safety of pemigatinib in previously treated Chinese patients with advanced cholangiocarcinoma and fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) fusions or rearrangements.

Background

Pemigatinib provided clinical benefits for previously treated patients with cholangiocarcinoma carrying FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements and was approved for this indication in multiple countries.

Methods

In this ongoing, multicenter, single-arm, phase II study, adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma carrying centrally confirmed FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements who had progressed on ≥1 systemic therapy received 13.5 mg oral pemigatinib once daily (3-week cycle; 2 weeks on, 1 week off) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by an independent radiology review committee.

Results

As of January 29, 2021, 31 patients were enrolled. The median follow-up was 5.1 months (range, 1.5-9.3). Among 30 patients with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements evaluated for efficacy, 15 patients achieved partial response (ORR, 50.0%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 31.3-68.7); 15 achieved stable disease, contributing to a disease control rate of 100% (95% CI, 88.4-100). The median time to response was 1.4 months (95% CI, 1.3-1.4), the median duration of response was not reached, and the median progression-free survival was 6.3 months (95% CI, 4.9-not estimable [NE]). Eight (25.8%) of 31 patients had ≥grade 3 treatment-emergent adverse events. Hyperphosphatemia, hypophosphatasemia, nail toxicities, and ocular disorders were mostly ConclusionsThe encouraging antitumor activity and favorable safety profile support the use of pemigatinib as a treatment in previously treated Chinese patients with cholangiocarcinoma and FGFR2 rearrangements.

Project description:BackgroundFibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) 2 gene alterations are involved in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma. Pemigatinib is a selective, potent, oral inhibitor of FGFR1, 2, and 3. This study evaluated the safety and antitumour activity of pemigatinib in patients with previously treated, locally advanced or metastatic cholangiocarcinoma with and without FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements.MethodsIn this multicentre, open-label, single-arm, multicohort, phase 2 study (FIGHT-202), patients aged 18 years or older with disease progression following at least one previous treatment and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 recruited from 146 academic or community-based sites in the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia were assigned to one of three cohorts: patients with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements, patients with other FGF/FGFR alterations, or patients with no FGF/FGFR alterations. All enrolled patients received a starting dose of 13·5 mg oral pemigatinib once daily (21-day cycle; 2 weeks on, 1 week off) until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or physician decision. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved an objective response among those with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements, assessed centrally in all patients who received at least one dose of pemigatinib. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02924376, and enrolment is completed.FindingsBetween Jan 17, 2017, and March 22, 2019, 146 patients were enrolled: 107 with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements, 20 with other FGF/FGFR alterations, 18 with no FGF/FGFR alterations, and one with an undetermined FGF/FGFR alteration. The median follow-up was 17·8 months (IQR 11·6-21·3). 38 (35·5% [95% CI 26·5-45·4]) patients with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements achieved an objective response (three complete responses and 35 partial responses). Overall, hyperphosphataemia was the most common all-grade adverse event irrespective of cause (88 [60%] of 146 patients). 93 (64%) patients had a grade 3 or worse adverse event (irrespective of cause); the most frequent were hypophosphataemia (18 [12%]), arthralgia (nine [6%]), stomatitis (eight [5%]), hyponatraemia (eight [5%]), abdominal pain (seven [5%]), and fatigue (seven [5%]). 65 (45%) patients had serious adverse events; the most frequent were abdominal pain (seven [5%]), pyrexia (seven [5%]), cholangitis (five [3%]), and pleural effusion (five [3%]). Overall, 71 (49%) patients died during the study, most frequently because of disease progression (61 [42%]); no deaths were deemed to be treatment related.InterpretationThese data support the therapeutic potential of pemigatinib in previously treated patients with cholangiocarcinoma who have FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements.FundingIncyte Corporation.

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive and diverse malignancy with a poor prognosis. Related to a typical indolent course of progression, most cases of CCA are metastatic or locally advanced at the time of presentation. For patients with nonresectable tumors or metastatic disease, the mainstay of treatment is comprehensive with combination chemotherapy. The first-line chemotherapeutic combination for the treatment of CCA are cisplatin and gemcitabine-based chemotherapies. However, many locally advanced and progressive CCA cases are refractory to first-line management. Within the past few years, the increase in the incidence of metastatic CCA and its poor prognosis has brought to light the need for novel therapeutic approaches to treatment. With advancements in next-generation genome sequencing, multiple molecular pathways have been identified in the pathogenesis of CCA and have shown great potential as alternative treatments in cases of CCA refractory to surgical resection. FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements have been identified in 10-16% of all intrahepatic CCA and are thought to serve as a pathway of resistance for a number of nonresectable and refractory cases of cholangiocarcinoma. A novel therapeutic agent that has been discussed is infigratinib, a selective, ATP-competitive inhibitor of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2). In a phase 1 trial, infigratinib showed a safe profile and showed remarkable clinical efficacy in advanced CCA with FGFR2 fusions or rearrangements in phase II trials. As of May 2021, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved infigratinib for CCA largely based on tumor response and duration of response. As of 2021, infigratinib, futibatinib, and pemigatinib, similar novel selective FGFR inhibitors, have been approved by the FDA for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic CCA harboring FGFR2 gene mutations. The present investigation reviews the development of infigratinib in particular and its clinical efficacy compared to other available treatment options for cholangiocarcinoma. While the side effect profile of infigratinib is minimal, particularly GI side effects, when compared with futibatinib and pemigatinib, the overall response rate (ORR) and median overall survival (mOS) for infigratinib (ORR=23.1%, mOS=3.8 months) was significantly lower than futibatinib (ORR=35.8%, mOS=21.1 months) and pemigatinib (ORR=35.5%, mOS=21.1 months). While there is ample promise for the use of infigratinib as molecular-directed therapy in the treatment of CCA harboring FGFR2 mutations, there is an appropriate concern for patient-acquired resistance. The heterogeneous nature of FGFR mutations and the emergence of different resistance mechanisms emphasize a need for more agents to inhibit FGFR rearrangements effectively.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The authors evaluated mocetinostat (a class I/IV histone deacetylase inhibitor) in patients with urothelial carcinoma harboring inactivating mutations or deletions in CREB binding protein [CREBBP] and/or E1A binding protein p300 [EP300] histone acetyltransferase genes in a single-arm, open-label phase 2 study. METHODS:Eligible patients with platinum-treated, advanced/metastatic disease received oral mocetinostat (at a dose of 70 mg 3 times per week [TIW] escalating to 90 mg TIW) in 28-day cycles in a 3-stage study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT02236195). The primary endpoint was the objective response rate. RESULTS:Genomic testing was feasible in 155 of 175 patients (89%). Qualifying tumor mutations were CREBBP (15%), EP300 (8%), and both CREBBP and EP300 (1%). A total of 17 patients were enrolled into stage 1 (the intent-to-treat population); no patients were enrolled in subsequent stages. One partial response was observed (11% [1 of 9 patients; the population that was evaluable for efficacy comprised 9 of the 15 planned patients]); activity was deemed insufficient to progress to stage 2 (null hypothesis: objective response rate of ≤15%). All patients experienced ≥1 adverse event, most commonly nausea (13 of 17 patients; 77%) and fatigue (12 of 17 patients; 71%). The median duration of treatment was 46 days; treatment interruptions (14 of 17 patients; 82%) and dose reductions (5 of 17 patients; 29%) were common. Mocetinostat exposure was lower than anticipated (dose-normalized maximum serum concentration [Cmax ] after TIW dosing of 0.2 ng/mL/mg). CONCLUSIONS:To the authors' knowledge, the current study represents the first clinical trial using genomic-based selection to identify patients with urothelial cancer who are likely to benefit from selective histone deacetylase inhibition. Mocetinostat was associated with significant toxicities that impacted drug exposure and may have contributed to modest clinical activity in these pretreated patients. The efficacy observed was considered insufficient to warrant further investigation of mocetinostat as a single agent in this setting.
