Dr Angela Lamarca reviews the current clinical trials with FGFR inhibitors, particularly those with patients with FGFR2 fusion and other genetic aberrations. Dr Vaibhav Sahai highlights those FGFR inhibitors that are nonselective and those that are selective for FGFR1-4, and discusses the clinical trial results with the selective inhibitors, including pemigatinib and infigratinib. He remarks that the response rates and progression-free survival in these trials have been remarkable, far better than what is seen with chemotherapy.
