2078 - Comprehensive genomic profiling and clinical outcomes in patients (pts) with fibroblast growth factor receptor rearrangement-positive (FGFR2+) cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) treated with pemigatinib in the fight-202 trial

Background

Fight-202 is a phase 2 study (NCT02924376) of pemigatinib (INCB054828), a selective, potent, oral inhibitor of FGFR1, 2, and 3 in pts with advanced CCA. Interim results from the first 47 FGFR2+ CCA pts with ≥8 months (mo) of follow-up demonstrated an objective response rate (ORR) of 40.4%, disease control rate (DCR) of 85%, median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 9.2 mo, and median overall survival (mOS) of 15.8 mo, based on independent central review. Here we report the frequency of FGFR2 rearrangement partners and co-occurring alterations and their impact on clinical outcomes.

Methods

Comprehensive genomic profiling was performed in all pts prescreened and/or enrolled in fight-202 using FoundationOne. Clinical data were reported previously.

Results

Among 118 FGFR2+ pts identified, 54 unique FGFR2 rearrangement partners were observed, of which 74.1% (n = 40) were unique to a single patient. BICC1 was the most frequent FGFR2 rearrangement partner (29.7% [n = 35]). FGFR2+ pts had fewer genomic alterations (3.36 alterations/pt) than unaltered pts (4.6 alterations/pt). The most frequently co-altered gene, BAP1, was altered in 39.8% (n = 47) of FGFR2+ pts. As of the data cutoff date (July 24, 2018), 47 FGFR2+ pts were treated with pemigatinib and followed for ≥8 mo. There were no meaningful differences in ORR (42.9% vs 39.4%), mPFS (8.9 mo vs 9.6 mo), or mOS (not reached [NR] vs 15.8 mo) in patients with FGFR2-BICC1 (n = 14) versus other FGFR2 rearrangements. Similarly, no meaningful difference in ORR (53.3% vs 34.4%), mPFS (8.9 mo vs NR), or mOS (NR vs 15.8 mo) was observed in pts with BAP1 loss-of-function mutations (n = 15). Among other co-occurring genomic alterations, pts with TP53 alterations (n = 5) had no objective responses (0% vs 45.2%) and shorter mPFS (6.2 mo vs NR) and mOS (10.5 mo vs NR).

Conclusions

Despite myriad FGFR2 rearrangement partners identified in the study, an interim analysis did not indicate a difference in ORR, mPFS, or mOS between the most common rearrangement partner (BICC1) and other partner genes. Alterations in TP53, but not BAP1, were associated with decreased clinical benefit.
