Meccanismi di resistenza clinica alla selezione FGFR2 con lirafugratinib.

BACKGROUND: Pan-fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) inhibitors, targeting FGFR1-3 or FGFR1-4, are Food and Drug Administration-approved for FGFR2-driven cholangiocarcinoma. However, acquired resistance and dose-limiting toxicities from systemic FGFR inhibition constrain efficacy. Lirafugratinib (RLY-4008), a first-in-class FGFR2-selective inhibitor with activity against resistance-associated FGFR2 kinase domain mutations, shows promise in patients with FGFR2-altered solid tumors (ReFocus trial, NCT04526106). Defining acquired resistance mechanisms to selective FGFR2 targeting is essential for therapeutic development. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) samples from 28 p
