| Pemigatinib |
Pemigatinib is a kinase inhibitor of FGFR1, 2 and 3 which inhibits FGFR phosphorylation and signalling and decreases cell viability in cells expressing FGFR genetic alterations, including point mutations, amplifications, and fusions or rearrangements. FGFR2 fusions/rearrangements are strong oncogenic drivers and are the most common FGFR alteration occurring, almost exclusively, in 10-16% of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). |
